gtkTextBufferBackspace {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkTextBufferBackspace

### Description

Performs the appropriate action as if the user hit the delete key with the cursor at the position specified by `iter`. In the normal case a single character will be deleted, but when combining accents are involved, more than one character can be deleted, and when precomposed character and accent combinations are involved, less than one character will be deleted.

### Usage

    gtkTextBufferBackspace(object, iter, interactive, default.editable)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkTextBuffer`
``iter`` | a position in `buffer`
``interactive`` | whether the deletion is caused by user interaction
``default.editable`` | whether the buffer is editable by default

### Details

Because the buffer is modified, all outstanding iterators become invalid after calling this function; however, the `iter` will be re-initialized to point to the location where text was deleted. Since 2.6

### Value

[logical] `TRUE` if the buffer was modified
