Re: TextView, TextBuffer and cursor moves

[Armin Burgmeier <armin arbur net>]

You can use the mark-set signal and in the signal handler check whether
the moved mark is the "insert" mark.

Here is example code:
http://git.0x539.de/?p=infinote.git;a=blob;f=libinftextgtk/inf-text-gtk-buffer.c;h=61c805f66b9d59ae91a4725532fae5b829fdd002;hb=HEAD#l1032

Cheers,
Armin
