Textpad

Synopsis

class Textpad(window)

Creates and returns an instance t of class Textpad that wraps the curses window instance window. Instance t has one frequently used method:

t .edit( )

Lets the user perform interactive editing on the contents of the window instance that t wraps. The editing session supports simple Emacs-like key bindings: normal characters overwrite the window’s previous contents, arrow keys move the cursor, Ctrl-H deletes the character to the cursor’s left. When the user hits Ctrl-G, the editing session ends, and edit returns the window’s contents as a single string, with newlines as line separators.
