selectRange

open fun selectRange(ins: TextIter, bound: TextIter)

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.

If you move them in two steps with method@Gtk.TextBuffer.move_mark, you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

Parameters

ins

where to put the “insert” mark

bound

where to put the “selection_bound” mark
