## Detailed Description

Base class for text-editing widgets.

The Gtk::Editable class is a base class for widgets for editing text, such as Gtk::Entry. It cannot be instantiated by itself. The editable class contains functions for generically manipulating an editable widget, a large number of action signals used for key bindings, and several signals that an application can connect to to modify the behavior of a widget.
