select_range

Description:

public void select_range (TextIter ins, TextIter bound)

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.

If you move them in two steps with [method@Gtk.TextBuffer.move_mark], you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

Parameters:

this	a `GtkTextBuffer`
ins	where to put the “insert” mark
bound	where to put the “selection_bound” mark
