TextBuffer.getSelectionBound

Returns the mark that represents the selection bound.

Equivalent to calling gtk.text_buffer.TextBuffer.getMark to get the mark named “selection_bound”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.

The currently-selected text in buffer is the region between the “selection_bound” and “insert” marks. If “selection_bound” and “insert” are in the same place, then there is no current selection. gtk.text_buffer.TextBuffer.getSelectionBounds is another convenient function for handling the selection, if you just want to know whether there’s a selection and what its bounds are.
