Because I'm just learning how to use textbuffer, I may be missing the correct solution to my problem. I want to be able to sweep a selection of several words without having to hit the beginning and end of the words exactly. I found textiter.backward_word_start() and textiter.forward_word_end() for adjusting the textiters that bound the selection and select_range() for selecting the entire selection once the textiters have been adjusted. My problem is that I need a trigger that invokes the code for making the adjustment. My current solution hooks button release. It works, but it catches too much. The next thing I do after making the selection is to drag it to an entry. When I release the button at the end of the drag, the code for widening the selection is invoked again. I can suppress the second invocation by setting a flag when I start dragging, but the correct solution would hook "text-selected" rather than button-release, a signal that does not seem to exist. Did I miss it? Is there a different better solution? -- Jeffrey Barish
