About:
Gtksourceview5 is a GNOME library that extends the standard GTK text view widget. It provides advanced features like syntax highlighting for various programming languages, an undo/redo framework, and support for text marks and annotations. This makes it an essential component for building sophisticated text editors and IDE-like interfaces.
Key Features:
  • Syntax highlighting for multiple languages
  • Built-in undo/redo management
  • Support for text marks and annotations
  • Bracket matching and auto-completion support
Use Cases:
  • Building source code editors and IDEs
  • Implementing a text viewer with syntax awareness in an application
Alternatives:
  • Scintilla – A mature, cross-platform text editing component, but not native to the GTK ecosystem.
  • Qt's QScintilla – The Qt binding for Scintilla, suitable for Qt-based applications.
