An editor.

Hierarchy

Methods

  • Dispose the editor.

    Returns void

  • Brings browser focus to the editor text

    Returns void

  • Get the editor type. Please see EditorType. This is to avoid an instanceof check

    Returns string

  • Get a unique id for this editor instance.

    Returns string

  • Gets the current model attached to this editor.

    Returns IEditorModel

  • Returns the primary position of the cursor.

    Returns Position

  • Returns the primary selection of the editor.

    Returns Selection

  • Returns all the selections of the editor.

    Returns Selection[]

  • Returns all actions associated with this editor.

    Returns IEditorAction[]

  • Given a position, returns a column number that takes tab-widths into account.

    Parameters

    Returns number

  • Returns true if the text inside this editor is focused (i.e. cursor is blinking).

    Returns boolean

  • Instructs the editor to remeasure its container. This method should be called when the container of the editor gets resized.

    If a dimension is passed in, the passed in value will be used.

    By default, this will also render the editor immediately. If you prefer to delay rendering to the next animation frame, use postponeRendering == true.
