Tkinter Word Processor

Text Widget: Line Wrapping

Find Wrap Position 2

Brief:

_______________________________________________________________

So as it turns out I didn't need to do any of that heavy lifting in my previous post. There were methods in place to do what I wanted. I found the answer in the tkinter/tcl docs while trying to figure out a different problem with the word processor application. I've been using this functions all the time but did not realize I could use the "display" sub-modifier when calling indices. But it's live and learn with coding.

 

The code is so minuscule it makes me want to cry for the time I took brute forcing the functionality.

import tkinter as tk


def inspect_wrapline(event=None):
  start = f"{tk.INSERT} linestart"
  end   = f"{tk.INSERT} lineend"
  counter = event.widget.count(start, end, "displaylines")
  
  print("number of lines after first line", counter)


  start = f"{tk.INSERT} display linestart"
  end   = f"{tk.INSERT} display lineend +1c"
  dline = event.widget.get(start, end)

  print("Text on the displayline", dline)


root_window = tk.Tk()
text_widget = tk.Text(root_window)
text_widget.pack()
text_widget.insert("This is an example text.")
text_widget.bind("<Control-l>", inspect_wrapline)

root_window.mainloop()
