NAME

       Padre::Wx::Editor - Padre document editor object

DESCRIPTION

       Padre::Wx::Editor implements the Scintilla-based document editor for Padre. It implements
       the majority of functionality relating to visualisation and navigation of documents.

METHODS

   get_brace_info
       Look at a given position in the editor if there is a brace (according to the setting
       editor_braces) before or after, and return the information about the context It always
       look first at the character after the position.

               Params:
                       pos - the cursor position in the editor [defaults to cursor position) : int

               Return:
                       undef if no brace, otherwise [brace, actual_pos, is_after, is_opening]
                       where:
                               brace - the brace char at actual_pos
                               actual_pos - the actual position where the brace has been found
                               is_after - true iff the brace is after the cursor : boolean
                               is_opening - true iff only the brace is an opening one

               Examples:

                       |{} => should find the { : [0,{,1,1]
                       {|} => should find the } : [1,},1,0]
                       {| } => should find the { : [0,{,0,1]

   get_brace_type
       Tell if a character is a brace, and if it is an opening or a closing one

               Params:
                       char - a character : string

               Return:
                       int : 0 if this is not a brace, an odd value if it is an opening brace and an even
                       one for a closing brace

   find_matching_brace
       Find the position of to the matching brace if any. If the cursor is inside the braces the
       destination will be inside too, same it is outside.

               Params:
                       pos - the cursor position in the editor [defaults to cursor position) : int

               Return:
                       matching_pos - the matching position, or undef if none

   goto_matching_brace
       Move the cursor to the matching brace if any. If the cursor is inside the braces the
       destination will be inside too, same it is outside.

               Params:
                       pos - the cursor position in the editor [defaults to cursor position) : int

   select_to_matching_brace
       Select to the matching opening or closing brace. If the cursor is inside the braces the
       destination will be inside too, same it is outside.

               Params:
                       pos - the cursor position in the editor [defaults to cursor position) : int

   find_line
         my $line_number = $editor->find_line( 123, "sub foo {" );

       The "find_line" method locates a line in a document using a line number and the content of
       the line.

       It is intended for use in situations where a search function has determined that a
       particular line is of interest, but the document may have changed in the time since the
       original search was made.

       Starting at the suggested line, it will locate the line containing the text which is the
       closest to line provided. If no text is provided the method acts as a simple pass-through.

       Returns an integer line number guaranteed to exist in the document, or "undef" if the hint
       text could not be found anywhere in the document.

   position
         my $position = $editor->position($untrusted);

       The "position" method is used to clean parameters that are supposed to refer to a position
       within the editor. It takes what should be an numeric document position, constrains the
       value to the actual position range of the document, and removes any fractional characters.

       This method should generally be used when doing something to a document somewhere in it
       preferable aborting that functionality completely.

       Returns an integer character position guaranteed to exist in the document.

   line
         my $line = $editor->line($untrusted);

       The "line" method is used to clean parameters that are supposed to refer to a line within
       the editor. It takes what should be an numeric document line, constrains the value to the
       actual line range of the document, and removes any fractional characters.

       This method should generally be used when doing something to a document somewhere in it
       preferable aborting that functionality completely.

       Returns an integer line number guaranteed to exist in the document.

   clipboard_length
         my $chars = Padre::Wx::Editor->clipboard_length;

       The "clipboard_length" method returns the number of characters of text currently in the
       clipboard, if any.

       Returns an integer number of characters, or zero if the clipboard is empty or contains
       non-text data.
