Hi,
I want to design a console based interface to my application. The console would 
enable the user to manually give commands to my application. Something akin to 
the python console that you get in RhythmBox.

I am planning to use GtkTextViewer widget for this. My main requirement for the 
console is that It should not allow the user to 'scroll-back' and edit past 
commands, which would be very inconsistent. In other words it should behave 
just like a terminal command line, allowing line editing for the current line 
only. I am not thinking of readline support right now but that can be added 
later as an enhancement.

My question: Is that possible in GtkTextViewer? I always thought that I can set 
the entire widget as editable or non editable. But if I set it as editable, 
then I don't want the user to be able to scroll up and fiddle with text that is 
present above.

Can anyone please advise?

regards,
Seemanta
