CudaText API

Intro

This is API for CudaText in Python.

• Main module: cudatext. Has constants, funcs, class Editor, objects of class Editor.
• Additional module: cudatext_cmd, constants for ed.cmd().
• Additional module: cudatext_keys, constants for on_key.
• Additional module: cudax_lib, some high-level functions for plugins.

Event plugins

To make plugin react to events, add method to class Command (like methods of command plugin). E.g. method "on_save" will be called by editor event "on_save". Event methods have param "ed_self": Editor object in which event occured (this object is the same as "ed" in 99% cases, but in some cases event occurs in inactive editor, e.g. "Save all tabs" calls "on_save" for inactive tabs).

General

• on_open(self, ed_self): Called after file is opened from disk.
• on_open_pre(self, ed_self, filename): Called before file opening. Method can return False to disable opening, other value is ignored.
• on_close(self, ed_self): Called just before closing tab (closing editor is still active).
• on_save_pre(self, ed_self): Called before saving file. Method can return False to disable saving, other value is ignored.
• on_save(self, ed_self): Called after saving file.
• on_start(self, ed_self): Called once on program start (ignore ed_self).
• on_tab_move(self, ed_self): Called after closing a tab (another tab is already activated), or moving a tab (by drag-n-drop, or UI command).

Editor

• on_change(self, ed_self): Called after editor text is changed.
• on_change_slow(self, ed_self): Called after editor text is changed, and few seconds (option) passed. Used in CudaLint plugin, it needs to react to change after a delay.
• on_caret(self, ed_self): Called after editor caret position and/or selection is changed.
• on_insert(self, ed_self, text): Called before inserting a text. Method can return False to disable insertion, other return value is ignored.
• on_key(self, ed_self, key, state): Called when user presses a key in editor. Param "key" is int key code; values are listed in the module cudatext_keys. Param "state" is string of chars: "a" if Alt pressed, "c" if Ctrl pressed, "s" if Shift pressed, "m" if Meta (Windows-key) pressed. Method can return False to disable key processing, other return value is ignored.
• on_key_up(self, ed_self, key, state): Called when user depresses a key in editor. Params meaning is the same as in "on_key". Currently called only for Ctrl/Shift/Alt keys (to not slow down).
• on_focus(self, ed_self): Called after any editor gets focus.
• on_lexer(self, ed_self): Called after any editor's lexer is changed.
• on_paste(self, ed_self, keep_caret, select_then): Called before some Clipboard Paste command runs. Parameters are options of various paste commands. Method can return False to disable default operation.
• on_scroll(self, ed_self): Called on scrolling in editor.
• on_state(self, ed_self, state): Called after some app state is changed. Param "state" is one of EDSTATE_nnnn constants.
• on_snippet(self, ed_self, snippet_id, snippet_text): Called when user chooses snippet to insert, in ed.complete_alt() call.
• on_group(self, ed_self): Called after tab-grouping mode is changed.

Editor clicks

• on_click(self, ed_self, state): Called after mouse click. Param "state": same meaning as in on_key.
• on_click_dbl(self, ed_self, state): Called after mouse double-click. Param "state": same meaning as in on_key. Method can return False to disable default processing.
• on_click_gap(self, ed_self, state, nline, ntag, size_x, size_y, pos_x, pos_y): Called after mouse click on inter-line gap: see Editor.gap(). Param "state": same meaning as in on_key. Other params: properties of clicked gap.

Smart commands

• on_complete(self, ed_self): Called by auto-completion command (default hotkey: Ctrl+Space). Method should call Editor.complete API. Method must return True if it handled command, otherwise None.
• on_func_hint(self, ed_self): Called by function-hint command (default hotkey: Ctrl+Shift+Space). Method must return function-hint string (comma-separated parameters, brackets are optional). Empty str or None means no hint found.
• on_goto_def(self, ed_self): Called by go-to-definition command (in editor context menu). Method must return True if it handled command, otherwise None.

Panels

• on_console(self, ed_self, text): Called on entering text command in Python Console panel. Method can return False to disable internal command processing, other value is ignored. Ignore ed_self.
• on_console_nav(self, ed_self, text): Called on dbl-clicking line, or calling context menu item "Navigate", in Python Console panel. Ignore ed_self. Text is line with caret.
• on_output_nav(self, ed_self, text, tag): Called on clicking line, or pressing Enter, in Output or Validate panel. Ignore ed_self. Text is clicked line, tag is int value associated with line. Event is called only if app cannot parse output line by itself using given regex (or regex isn't set at all).

Macros

• on_macro(self, ed_self, text): Called when command "macros: stop recording" runs. In text the "\n"-separated list of macro items is passed. These items were run after command "macros: start recording" and before command "macros: stop recording".
  • if item is "number" then it's simple command.
  • if item is "number,string" then it's command with str parameter (usually it's command cCommand_TextInsert).
  • if item is "py:string_module,string_method,string_param" then it's call of Python plugin (usually string_param is empty).

Note: To run each on_macro item (with number) later, call ed.cmd(): number is command code, string after comma is command text.

Dialog "Go to"

• on_goto_enter(self, ed_self, text): Called when user entered (via button or Enter key) text in the "Go to" dialog. Plugin can perform custom action for parameter "text" (e.g. if it has some prefix/suffix). Method can return False to disable default action "go to line number".
• on_goto_change(self, ed_self): Called when text is changed in the "Go to" dialog input. Param "ed_self" is the same as ed_goto object.
• on_goto_caret(self, ed_self): Called when caret/selection is moved in the "Go to" dialog input. Param "ed_self" is the same as ed_goto object.
• on_goto_key(self, ed_self, key, state): Called when a key is pressed in the "Go to" dialog input. Param "ed_self" is the same as ed_goto object. Params "key", "state" have the same meaning as in the "on_key" event. Method can return False to disable default key processing.
• on_goto_key_up(self, ed_self, key, state): Called when a key is depressed in the "Go to" dialog input. Params: the same as in the "on_goto_key".

Events priority

By default all events in all plugins have prior=0. So for any event, if 2+ plugins have this event, they're called in order on module names (e.g. cuda_aa, then cuda_dd, then cuda_mmm).

You may want to handle some event first. To change prior for your plugin event, write in install.inf event like this: "on_key+", "on_key++"... with any number of "+" up to 4. Each "+" makes higher prior. So first called "on_key" with maximal number of "+", last called "on_key" w/o "+".

Callback param

Callback parameter is supported in several API functions: dlg_proc, timer_proc, menu_proc, button_proc (maybe more later).

Parameter can be in these forms:

• callable, i.e. name of a function
• string "module=mmm;cmd=nnn;" - to call method nnn (in class Command) in plugin mmm, where mmm is usually sub-dir in the "cudatext/py", but can be any module name
• string "module=mmm;cmd=nnn;info=iii;" - the same, and callback will get param "info" with your value
• string "mmm.nnn" - the same, to call method, short form
• string "module=mmm;func=nnn;" - to call function nnn in root of module mmm
• string "module=mmm;func=nnn;info=iii;" - the same, and callback will get param "info" with your value

For example:

• If you need to call function "f" from plugin cuda_my, from file "py/cuda_my/__init__.py", callback must be "module=cuda_my;func=f;"
• If you need to call it from file "py/cuda_my/lib/mod.py", callback must be "module=cuda_my.lib.mod;func=f;".

Value after "info=" can be of any type, e.g. "info=20;" will pass int 20 to callback, "info='my';" will pass string 'my'.

Result

Dialog is closed by clicking any button or by changing of any control which has "act=1".

• If cancelled, gets None
• If get_dict=True, gets dict: {0: str_value_0, 1: str_value_1, ..., 'clicked': N, 'focused': N}
• If get_dict=False, gets 2-tuple: (clicked_index, state_text)
  • clicked_index: index of control which closed dialog (0-based).
  • state_text: "\n"-separated values of controls. Same count of items as in text, plus optional additional lines in the form "key=value". Line "focused=N" with index of last focused control (0-based) or -1.

Notes

• Property "type" must be first.
• Property "act" must be set after "val".

• Controls sizes differ on Win/Linux/OSX, picture shows controls (Linux/Win) auto-aligned, not in CudaText, only example app:

• So it's good to use common height for single-line controls, 30 pixels is ok for edit/button/check/radio, 36 for combobox.
• Control "tabs" height cannot auto-size, please make correct height for control (it is usually like big buttons).

dlg_proc

dlg_proc(id_dialog, id_action, prop="", index=-1, index2=-1, name="")

Advanced work with dialogs (forms). More advanced than dlg_custom(), forms can show modal/nonmodal, controls can change value during form showing.

If an action needs control, you can use 2 ways:

• set param "name" to control's name (name is searched if not empty),
• set param "index" to control's index (you should use DLG_CTL_FIND to find it).

Types

Described in dlg_custom, see #Types.

Form properties

• "cap": str: Caption of form.
• "x", "y": int: Position (screen coordinates), left/top.
• "w", "h": int: Size, width/height.
• "w_min", "w_max": int: Constraints for width, min/max value.

Form events

These are also properties of forms.

• "on_resize": Called after form is resized.
• "on_close": Called after form is closed.

How to get nice key description in on_key_down, e.g. "Ctrl+Alt+Esc" from id_ctl=27 and data="ca":

    str_key =\
      ('Meta+' if 'm' in data else '')+\
      ('Ctrl+' if 'c' in data else '')+\
      ('Alt+' if 'a' in data else '')+\

    pass

Parameters:

• id_dlg: Int handle of form.
• id_ctl: Int index of control. Used only for control events.
• data: Value, specific to event.
• info: Value from extended form of callback string.

Actions

Param prop: it can be of any simple type (str, int, bool), also tuple/list (of any simple type), also dict (keys: str, values: simple type or tuple/list). Most used is dict. Example: prop={"cap": "...", "x": 10, "y": 10, "w": 600, "en": False}.

Param id_dialog: int, form handle. Ignored only for DLG_CREATE (pass 0).

Possible values of id_action:

• DLG_CREATE: Creates new form, gets form handle.
• DLG_HIDE: Hides form.
• DLG_FREE: Hides and deletes form.
• DLG_SHOW_MODAL: Shows form in modal mode. Waits for form to hide, then returns.
• DLG_SHOW_NONMODAL: Shows form in non-modal mode. Returns immediately.
• DLG_FOCUS: Focuses form (in non-modal mode).
• DLG_SCALE: Scales form, with all controls, for the current OS high-DPI value. E.g. of OS scale is 150%, all will be scaled by 1.5.

• DLG_PROP_GET: Gets form props, as dict. See example plugin, which props are returned.
• DLG_PROP_SET: Sets form props, from dict. Param "prop" is dict. Only props mentioned in "prop" are applied, other props don't change.

• DLG_DOCK: Docks (inserts) form into another form. Param "index" is handle of another form, and 0 means main CudaText form. Param "prop" can be: "L", "R", "T", "B" for sides left/right/top/bottom (default is bottom).
• DLG_UNDOCK: Undocks form from it's current parent form.

• DLG_CTL_COUNT: Gets count of controls on form.
• DLG_CTL_ADD: Adds new control to form, gets its index, or None if cannot add. Param "prop" is type of control. See description in dlg_custom.
• DLG_CTL_PROP_GET: Gets control props, as dict. Control must be specified by name or index.
• DLG_CTL_PROP_SET: Sets control props. Control must be specified by name or index. Param "prop" is dict with props. Only props mentioned in "prop" are applied, other props don't change. To "reset" some props, you must mention them with some value.
• DLG_CTL_FOCUS: Focuses control. Control must be specified by name or index.
• DLG_CTL_DELETE: Deletes control. Control must be specified by name or index. Controls are stored in list, so after a control deleted, indexes of next controls shift by -1. So don't use fixed indexes if you delete some, use DLG_CTL_FIND.
• DLG_CTL_DELETE_ALL: Deletes all controls.
• DLG_CTL_FIND: Gets index of control by name, or -1 if cannot find. Param "prop" is name.
• DLG_CTL_HANDLE: Gets int handle of control. Control must be specified by name or index. This handle is currently useful for types:
  • type "treeview": pass handle to tree_proc()
  • type "listbox_ex": pass handle to listbox_proc()
  • type "paintbox": pass handle to canvas_proc()

• DLG_COORD_LOCAL_TO_SCREEN: Converts x/y coordinates from form-related, to screen-related. Param "index" is x, "index2" is y. Gets tuple (x,y).
• DLG_COORD_SCREEN_TO_LOCAL: Converts x/y coordinates from screen-related, to form-related. Param "index" is x, "index2" is y. Gets tuple (x,y).

Anchors

Anchor is attaching of control's side to another control, or to the parent form, so control is auto positioned, initially and on form resize. Lazarus IDE has such Anchor Editor dialog:

In this dialog you see, that all 4 sides of control attach to one of 3 sides of another control (or parent form).

• Anchors override absolute positions, e.g. anchor of left side overrides prop "x".
• Anchoring to invisible control is allowed.
• Anchoring circles (A to B to C to A) is not allowed, but should not give errors.

To change anchors of control, set its properties: a_l, a_r, a_t, a_b. Initially left/top anchors are set (to the parent form).

Side value "[" aligns control to left/top side of target:

         +--------+
         | target |
         +--------+
    
         +--------------+
         |   control    |
         +--------------+

Side value "]" aligns control to right/bottom side of target:

          +--------+
          | target |
          +--------+
    
    +--------------+
    |   control    |
    +--------------+

Side value "-" centers control relative to target:

          +--------+
          | target |
          +--------+
    
       +--------------+
       |   control    |
       +--------------+

Example: to attach "colorpanel" to the right side of form, clear left anchor (set to None), and add right/bottom anchors. This also sets spacing-aroung (padding) to 6 pixels.

  #attach colorpanel to the right
  dlg_proc(id_form, DLG_CTL_PROP_SET, index=n, prop=
      { 'a_l': None, 'a_r': ('', ']'), 'a_b': ('', ']'), 'sp_a': 6  } )

Example

Detailed demo plugin exists, it shows many dlg_proc actions, shows modal/nonmodal forms, uses callbacks, moves control by button click, moves control on form resize. It is in the CudaText repo with name "cuda_testing_dlg_proc".

dlg_commands

dlg_commands(options)

Show commands dialog, which is like customizable version of F1 dialog in CudaText.

Param options is sum of int flags:

• COMMANDS_USUAL - Show usual commands, which have int codes. Function gets "c:"+str(int_command) for them.
• COMMANDS_PLUGINS - Show plugins commands. Function gets "p:"+callback_string for them.
• COMMANDS_LEXERS - Show lexers pseudo-commands. Function gets "l:"+lexer_name for them.
• COMMANDS_CONFIG - Allow to call Configure Hotkeys dialog by F9 key.

Gets string if command selected, or None if cancelled.

file_open

file_open(filename, group=-1, options="")

Opens editor tab with given filename. If filename already opened, activates its tab. Pass empty str to open untitled tab. Gets bool: filename is empty or file successfully opened. For zip files, gets True only if add-on (in zip file) was installed.

• Param "group": index of tab-group (0-based), default means "current group". If you pass index of currently hidden group, group won't show, you need to call editor command to show it, see #cmd.
• Param "options": string:
  • If it has "/preview", then file opens in a "temporary preview" tab, with italic caption. Param "group" is ignored then, used 1st group.
  • If it has "/nohistory", file's history (caret, scroll pos, etc) won't be used.
  • If it has "/noevent", then on_open_pre event won't fire.
  • If it has "/silent", then zipped add-on will install w/o prompt and report.
  • If it has "/binary', then file will open in internal binary viewer (for files of any size).

Note: "ed" is always the current editor, after file_open() current editor changes, and "ed" is the new cur editor.

Example opens untitled tab, and writes multi-line text to it:

  file_open('')
  ed.set_text_all(text)

file_save

file_save(filename="")

Saves current tab to disk.

Shows save-as dialog for untitled tab. If param "filename" not empty, it overrides current file name, and untitled tab becomes titled. Gets bool: file was saved.

ed_handles

ed_handles()

Gets range object: it contains int handles of all editor tabs. Pass each handle to Editor() to make editor object from handle.

Example code, which shows filenames of all tabs:

    #show all file names in console
    for h in ed_handles():
        e = Editor(h)
        print(e.get_filename())

ed_group

ed_group(index)

Gets Editor object for active editor in tab-group with given group-index. Group-index: currently 0..5. Gets None for incorrect index, or if no tabs in this group.

ini_read/ini_write

ini_read(filename, section, key, value)
ini_write(filename, section, key, value)

• filename: Path of ini file. Can be name w/o path, this means that path of "settings" dir is used.
• section: str: Section of ini file.
• key: str: Key in section.
• value: str:
  • on read: default value which is returned if no such filename/section/key was found.
  • on write: value to write.

On read: gets string value. On write: gets None.

lexer_proc(id, value)

Perform some lexer-related action.

Possible values of id:

• LEXER_GET_LEXERS: Gets list of lexers. Param "value" must be bool: allow to include also hidden lexers (unchecked in the Lexer Library dialog).

Carets

get_carets

get_carets()

Returns list of 4-tuples, each item is info about one caret: (PosX, PosY, EndX, EndY).

• PosX is caret's column (0-base). Tab-chars give x increment 1, like others.
• PosY is caret's line (0-base).
• EndX/EndY is position of selection edge for this caret. Both -1 if no selection for caret.

set_caret

set_caret(posx, posy, endx=-1, endy=-1, id=CARET_SET_ONE)

Controls carets. Possible values of id:

• CARET_SET_ONE: Removes multi-carets and sets single caret with given coords (posx, posy, endx, endy).
• CARET_ADD: Adds caret (multi-carets feature) with given coords. Also gets count of carets after that (same as len(get_carets()) ).
• CARET_DELETE_ALL: Removes all carets. (Note: you must add caret then to enable text editing to user.)
• CARET_SET_INDEX + N (any N>=0): Changes single caret with index N to given coords.

Text read/write

get_text_all/set_text_all

get_text_all()
set_text_all(text)

Gets/sets entire text in the editor (str).

set_text_line(num, text)

Gets/sets single line (str) with given index (0-base).

Line must be w/o CR LF. Gets None if index incorrect.

To add new line, call set with num=-1.

get_text_substr

get_text_substr(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Gets substring from position (x1, y1) to position (x2, y2). Second position must be bigger than first.

delete

delete(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Deletes range from position (x1, y1) to bigger position (x2, y2).

• Too big x1/x2 are allowed (after line-end)
• Too big y2 means delete to end of file

Note: don't pass tuple from get_carets()[0], this tuple has not sorted pos=(x1, y1), end=(x2, y2), you need to sort them (first sort by y, then by x).

Example replaces selection of 1st caret with text:

        x0, y0, x1, y1 = ed.get_carets()[0]
        if (y0, x0) >= (y1, x1): #note that y first
            x0, y0, x1, y1 = x1, y1, x0, y0 
        
        ed.set_caret(x0, y0)
        ed.delete(x0, y0, x1, y1)
        ed.insert(x0, y0, text)

insert

insert(x, y, text)

Inserts given text at position (x, y). If y too big, appends block to end (even to final line w/out line-end). Text can be multi-line, all CR LF are converted to currently used line-ends.

Gets 2-tuple (x, y) of position after inserted text. It is on the same line, if text is single line. Gets None if cannot insert, e.g. y is too big.

replace

replace(x1, y1, x2, y2, text)

Replaces range from position (x1, y1) to bigger position (x2, y2), with new text.

• Too big x1/x2 are allowed (after line-end)
• Too big y2 means delete to end of file

Function does the same as delete+insert, but

• optimized for replace inside one line (when y1==y2 and no EOLs in text)
• for multi-line it also makes grouped-undo for delete+insert

Gets 2-tuple (x, y) of position after inserted text.

replace_lines

replace_lines(y1, y2, lines)

Deletes whole lines from index y1 to y2, then inserts new lines from specified list.

• Index y1 must be valid index (0 to count-1)
• Index y2 can be less than y1 (to not delete), and can be too big (to delete lines to end)
• Param lines is list/tuple of str. Can be empty list to just delete lines. Inside items should not be "\n" and "\r": "\n" will generate additonal lines, "\r" not handled.

Possible values of id:

• DIM_ADD: Adds new range.
  • Param "index": index of first range line (0-base).
  • Param "index2": index if last range line (value bigger than line count is allowed).
  • Param "value": dim value.
• DIM_DELETE: Deletes one range. Param "index" is index of range (0-base).
• DIM_DELETE_ALL: Deletes all ranges.
• DIM_ENUM: Enumerates ranges. Gives list of 3-tuples (line_from, line_to, dim_value) or None.

lexer_scan

lexer_scan(nline)

Runs lexer analysis (if lexer active) from given line index. Waits until analysis finishes.

Use case: plugin appends n lines to text (line by line), then lexer needs to rescan text from 1st added line, else folding won't appear for these lines.

export_html

export_html(file_name, title, font_name, font_size, with_nums, color_bg, color_nums)

Makes HTML file from source text with syntax highlighting. Gets bool: file is created. Params:

• file_name: str: Path of file.
• title: str: HTML page title.
• font_name: str: Font name.
• int: Font size, in HTML points.
• with_nums: bool: Make column with line numbers.
• color_bg: int: RGB color of page background.
• color_nums: int: RGB color of line numbers.

Tech info

Format of text for cmd_MouseClick

Text is "X,Y" where X/Y are position of caret relative to top-caret (other carets removed when command runs). If Y is 0, X is addition to caret's x. If Y not 0, Y is addition to caret's y, and X is absolute caret's x.

Format of text for cmd_FinderAction

Text is chr(1) separated items:

• item 0: find-action, one of:
  • 'findfirst'- find first
  • 'findnext'- find next
  • 'findprev'- find prev
  • 'rep'- replace next, find
  • 'repstop'- replace next, don't find
  • 'repall'- replace all
  • 'findcnt'- count all
  • 'findsel' - find all, make selections
  • 'findmark'- find all, place markers
• item 1: text to find
• item 2: text to replace with
• item 3: several chars, each char is find-option:
  • 'c' for case-sens
  • 'r' for regex
  • 'w' for whole-words
  • 'f' for from-caret
  • 'o' for confirm-replaces
  • 'a' for wrapped-search
  • 's' for search in selection
