Multiline text editing control. TextEdit is meant for editing large, multiline text. It also has facilities for editing code, such as syntax highlighting support and multiple levels of undo/redo. [b]Note:[/b] When holding down [kbd]Alt[/kbd], the vertical scroll wheel will scroll 5 times as fast as it would normally do. This also works in the Godot script editor.

Otherwise, returns a [code]Dictionary[/code] containing [code]line[/code] and [code]column[/code] entries, e.g: [codeblocks] [gdscript] var result = search("print", SEARCH_WHOLE_WORDS, 0, 0) if !result.empty(): # Result found. var line_number = result.line var column_number = result.column [/gdscript] [csharp] int[] result = Search("print", (uint)TextEdit.SearchFlags.WholeWords, 0, 0); if (result.Length > 0) { // Result found. int lineNumber = result[(int)TextEdit.SearchResult.Line]; int columnNumber = result[(int)TextEdit.SearchResult.Column]; } [/csharp] [/codeblocks] Perform selection, from line/column to line/column. If [member selecting_enabled] is [code]false[/code], no selection will occur. Select all the text. If [member selecting_enabled] is [code]false[/code], no selection will occur. Selects the word under the caret. Moves the caret to the specified [code]column[/code] index. If [code]adjust_viewport[/code] is set to [code]true[/code], the viewport will center at the caret position after the move occurs. Moves the caret to the specified [code]line[/code] index. If [code]adjust_viewport[/code] is set to [code]true[/code], the viewport will center at the caret position after the move occurs. If [code]can_be_hidden[/code] is set to [code]true[/code], the specified [code]line[/code] can be hidden. Sets the text for a specific line. Sets the current background color of the line. Set to [code]Color(0, 0, 0, 0)[/code] for no color. Sets OpenType feature [code]tag[/code].

Sets if the caret should blink. Duration (in seconds) of a caret's blinking cycle. Allow moving caret, selecting and removing the individual composite character components. Note: [kbd]Backspace[/kbd] is always removing individual composite character components. If [code]true[/code], a right-click moves the caret at the mouse position before displaying the context menu. If [code]false[/code], the context menu disregards mouse location. Set the type of caret to draw. If [code]true[/code], a right-click displays the context menu. If [code]true[/code], control characters are displayed. If [code]true[/code], the "space" character will have a visible representation.

If [code]true[/code], custom [code]font_selected_color[/code] will be used for selected text. If [code]true[/code], read-only mode is enabled. Existing text cannot be modified and new text cannot be added. If there is a horizontal scrollbar, this determines the current horizontal scroll value in pixels. If there is a vertical scrollbar, this determines the current vertical scroll value in line numbers, starting at 0 for the top line. If [code]true[/code], text can be selected.
