Method GTK2.TextBuffer()->place_cursor()

Method place_cursor

GTK2.TextBuffer place_cursor(GTK2.TextIter where)

Description

This function moves the "insert" and "selection_bound" marks simultaneously. If you move them to the same place in two steps with 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.
