[Geany-Devel] How to programmatically de-select text
Trying to programmatically cancel a text selection. There are functions that will probably do it, e.g. sci_set_selection, but bearing in mind the restriction on changing the API, those functions are not callable from my code. Surely I'm missing something obvious here? I do hope so! :) Cheers, Austin. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

I do hope so! :) Scintilla docs say "If the anchor and the current position are the same, there is no selected text." so probably set selection start and end both to current position. https://www.geany.org/manual/reference/sciwrappers_8h.html#a6649bca185bcc34837642cb61b4e7791 Cheers Lex > > Cheers, Austin. > ___ > Devel mailing list > Devel@lists.geany.org > https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

Thanks, this info should be added to HACKING to explain how to add API symbols.
