TextEditΒΆ
Inherits: Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object
Inherited By: CodeEdit
A multiline text editor.
DescriptionΒΆ
A multiline text editor. It also has limited facilities for editing code, such as syntax highlighting support. For more advanced facilities for editing code, see CodeEdit.
Note: Most viewport, caret and edit methods contain a caret_index argument for caret_multiple support. The argument should be one of the following: -1 for all carets, 0 for the main caret, or greater than 0 for secondary carets.
Note: When holding down Alt, the vertical scroll wheel will scroll 5 times as fast as it would normally do. This also works in the Godot script editor.

Theme Property DescriptionsΒΆ
Color background_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 0)
Sets the background Color of this TextEdit.
Color caret_background_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1)
Color of the text behind the caret when using a block caret.
Color caret_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1)
Color of the caret. This can be set to a fully transparent color to hide the caret entirely.
Color current_line_color = Color(0.25, 0.25, 0.26, 0.8)
Background Color of the line containing the caret.
Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1)
Sets the font Color.
Color font_outline_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)
The tint of text outline of the TextEdit.
Color font_placeholder_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 0.6)
Font color for placeholder_text.
Color font_readonly_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 0.5)
Sets the font Color when editable is disabled.
Color font_selected_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 0)
Sets the Color of the selected text. If equal to Color(0, 0, 0, 0), it will be ignored.
Color search_result_border_color = Color(0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 0.4)
Color of the border around text that matches the search query.
Color search_result_color = Color(0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1)
Color behind the text that matches the search query.
Color selection_color = Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1)
Sets the highlight Color of text selections.
Color word_highlighted_color = Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.25)
Sets the highlight Color of multiple occurrences. highlight_all_occurrences has to be enabled.
int caret_width = 1
The caret's width in pixels. Greater values can be used to improve accessibility by ensuring the caret is easily visible, or to ensure consistency with a large font size. If set to 0 or lower, the caret width is automatically set to 1 pixel and multiplied by the display scaling factor.
int line_spacing = 4
Sets the spacing between the lines.
int outline_size = 0
The size of the text outline.
Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.
Font font
Sets the default Font.
int font_size
Sets default font size.
Texture2D space
Sets a custom Texture2D for space text characters.
Texture2D tab
Sets a custom Texture2D for tab text characters.
StyleBox focus
Sets the StyleBox when in focus. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.
StyleBox normal
Sets the StyleBox of this TextEdit.
StyleBox read_only
Sets the StyleBox of this TextEdit when editable is disabled.
