Description

Performs the appropriate action as if the user hit the delete key with the cursor at the position specified by iter.

Usage

gtkTextBufferBackspace(object, iter, interactive, default.editable)

Arguments

iter
a position in buffer
interactive
whether the deletion is caused by user interaction
default.editable
