move_cursor

Description:

public signal void move_cursor (MovementStep step, int count, bool extend_selection)

Gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement.

The `move_cursor` signal is a [keybinding signal](class.SignalAction.html). If the cursor is not visible in entry, this signal causes the viewport to be moved instead.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with [func@GObject.signal_emit_by_name] if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal come in two variants, the variant with the <kbd>Shift</kbd> modifier extends the selection, the variant without the <kbd>Shift</kbd> modifier does not. There are too many key combinations to list them all here.

<kbd>←</kbd>, <kbd>→</kbd>, <kbd>↑</kbd>, <kbd>↓</kbd> move by individual characters/lines
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>, etc. move by words/paragraphs
<kbd>Home</kbd> and <kbd>End</kbd> move to the ends of the buffer

Parameters:

step	the granularity of the move, as a `GtkMovementStep`
count	the number of `step` units to move
extend_selection	true if the move should extend the selection
