interface racket:text<%> : interface?

Texts matching this interface support Racket mode operations.

> > method (send a-racket:text get-limit start) → exact-integer?

> Returns a limit for backward-matching parenthesis starting at position start.

> > method (send a-racket:text balance-parens key-event) → void?

> This function is called when the user types a close parenthesis in the text%. If the close parenthesis that the user inserted does not match the corresponding open parenthesis and the 'framework:fixup-parens preference is #t (see preferences:get) the correct closing parenthesis is inserted. If the 'framework:paren-match preference is #t (see preferences:get) the matching open parenthesis is flashed.

> Computes the amount of space to indent the line containing pos, using the default s-expression indentation strategy.

> The function get-head-sexp-type is consulted for each symbol/keyword that follows an open parenthesis. If it returns #f, then the user’s preferences (from the Indenting panel of the Editing panel in the preferences dialog) are used.

> Added in version 1.9 of package gui-lib.

mixin racket:text-mixin : (class? . -> . class?)
argument extends/implements: | text:basic<%>
| mode:host-text<%>
| color:text<%>
| text:autocomplete<%>
| editor:keymap<%>
result implements: | racket:text<%>

This mixin adds functionality for editing Racket files.
The result of this mixin uses the same initialization arguments as the mixin’s argument.

> > method (send a-racket:text get-word-at pos) → string?
> > pos : exact-positive-integer?

> Overrides get-word-at in text:autocomplete<%>.
> Returns the word just before pos, which is then used as the prefix for auto-completion.

> > method (send a-racket:text get-start-of-line pos)
> > → exact-nonnegative-integer?
> > pos : exact-nonnegative-integer?

> Overrides get-start-of-line in text:basic<%>.
> Returns the first non-whitespace character in the paragraph containing pos, unless the position is already there, in which case it returns the first position of the paragraph.

interface racket:text-mode<%> : interface?

The result of racket:text-mode-mixin implements this interface.

mixin racket:text-mode-mixin : (class? . -> . class?)
argument extends/implements: | color:text-mode<%>
| mode:surrogate-text<%>
result implements: | racket:text-mode<%>

This mixin adds Racket mode functionality to the mode that it is mixed into. The resulting mode assumes that it is only set to an editor that is the result of racket:text-mixin.

> > method (send a-racket:text-mode on-disable-surrogate) → void?

> Overrides on-disable-surrogate in mode:surrogate-text<%>.
> Removes the scheme keymap (see also racket:get-keymap) and disables any parenthesis highlighting in the host editor.

> > method (send a-racket:text-mode on-enable-surrogate) → void?

> Overrides on-enable-surrogate in mode:surrogate-text<%>.
> Adds the scheme keymap (see also racket:get-keymap) and enables a parenthesis highlighting in the host editor.

mixin racket:set-mode-mixin : (class? . -> . class?)
argument extends/implements: | racket:text<%>
| mode:host-text<%>

This mixin creates a new instance of racket:text-mode% and installs it, by calling its own set-surrogate method with the object.

class racket:text% : class?
superclass: (racket:set-mode-mixin (racket:text-mixin (text:autocomplete-mixin (mode:host-text-mixin color:text%))))

class racket:text-mode% : class?
superclass: (racket:text-mode-mixin color:text-mode%)

> procedure (racket:text-balanced? text [start end]) → boolean?
> text : (is-a?/c text%)
> start : number? = 0
> end : (or/c false/c number?) = #f

Determines if the range in the editor from start to end in text has at least one complete s-expression and there are no incomplete s-expressions. If end is #f, it defaults to the last position of the text. The designation “complete” is defined to be something that does not cause read to raise a exn:fail:read:eof? exception, so there may be all kinds of strange read-level (not to speak of parse level) errors in the expressions.

The implementation of this function creates a port with open-input-text-editor and then uses read to parse the range of the buffer.

> procedure (racket:add-preferences-panel) → void?

Adds a tabbing preferences panel to the preferences dialog.

> procedure (racket:get-keymap) → (is-a?/c keymap%)

Returns a keymap with binding suitable for Racket.

> procedure (racket:add-coloring-preferences-panel) → any

Installs the “Racket” preferences panel in the “Syntax Coloring” section.

> procedure (racket:get-color-prefs-table)
> → (listof (list/c symbol? (is-a?/c color%) string?))

Returns a table mapping from symbols (naming the categories that the online colorer uses for Racket mode coloring) to their colors.

These symbols are suitable for input to racket:short-sym->pref-name and racket:short-sym->style-name.

See also racket:get-white-on-black-color-prefs-table.

> procedure (racket:get-white-on-black-color-prefs-table)
> → (listof (list/c symbol? (is-a?/c color%) string?))

Returns a table mapping from symbols (naming the categories that the online colorer uses for Racket mode coloring) to their colors when the user chooses the white-on-black mode in the preferences dialog.

See also racket:get-color-prefs-table.

> procedure (racket:short-sym->pref-name short-sym) → symbol?
> short-sym : symbol?

Builds the symbol naming the preference from one of the symbols in the table returned by racket:get-color-prefs-table.

> procedure (racket:short-sym->style-name short-sym) → string?
> short-sym : symbol?

Builds the symbol naming the editor style from one of the symbols in the table returned by racket:get-color-prefs-table. This style is a named style in the style list returned by editor:get-standard-style-list.

> procedure (racket:get-wordbreak-map) → (is-a?/c editor-wordbreak-map%)

This method returns a editor-wordbreak-map% that is suitable for Racket.

> procedure (racket:init-wordbreak-map key) → void?
> key : (is-a?/c keymap%)

Initializes the workdbreak map for keymap.

> procedure (racket:setup-keymap keymap) → void?
> keymap : (is-a?/c keymap%)

Initializes keymap with Racket-mode keybindings.
