Thanks for taking the time to do this! I think the idea is good, but I feel like this can be simpler. Because we're using GtkSourceView (and not just plain GtkTextView), we have the GtkSource.View.get_visual_column() API, which I think does what you want.
Thanks for the tip!
Also, I don't personally see the value in showing both the expanded-tab and the actual character offset. I checked several other text editors, and all the ones I looked at showed only the visual column (i.e., with tabs expanded). This would also neatly avoid the translation issue you pointed out, since the string doesn't need to change.
I wanted to avoid changing anyone's workflow, but I agree with you. I don't see the use of the byte offset.
Sending a v2 right now. Simon _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
