Module textadept.command_entry
Textadept's Command entry.
Fields
entry_text: The text in the entry.
Overview
Access to the Lua state is available through this command entry. It is useful for debugging, inspecting, and entering buffer or view commands. If you try cause instability in Textadept's Lua state, you might very well succeed. Be careful.
Tab-completion for functions, variables, tables, etc. is available. Press the
Tab key to display a list of available completions. Use the arrow keys to
make a selection and press Enter to insert it.
Note: Use textadept.print() instead of the global
print() function. The former prints to a new buffer, the latter to standard
out (STDOUT).
Extending
You can extend the command entry to do more than enter Lua commands. An
example of this is incremental search. See core/ext/find.lua
for the implementation.
