LineEdit

Inherits: Control < CanvasItem < Node < Object

An input field for single-line text.

Description​

LineEdit provides an input field for editing a single line of text.

  • When the LineEdit control is focused using the keyboard arrow keys, it will only gain focus and not enter edit mode.

  • To enter edit mode, click on the control with the mouse, see also keep_editing_on_text_submit.

  • To exit edit mode, press ui_text_submit or ui_cancel (by default :kbd:Escape) actions.

  • Check edit(), unedit(), is_editing(), and editing_toggled for more information.

While entering text, it is possible to insert special characters using Unicode, OEM or Windows alt codes:

  • To enter Unicode codepoints, hold :kbd:Alt and type the codepoint on the numpad. For example, to enter the character á (U+00E1), hold :kbd:Alt and type :kbd:+E1 on the numpad (the leading zeroes can be omitted).

  • To enter OEM codepoints, hold :kbd:Alt and type the code on the numpad. For example, to enter the character á (OEM 160), hold :kbd:Alt and type 160 on the numpad.

  • To enter Windows codepoints, hold :kbd:Alt and type the code on the numpad. For example, to enter the character á (Windows 0225), hold :kbd:Alt and type :kbd:0, :kbd:2, :kbd:2, :kbd:5 on the numpad. The leading zero here must not be omitted, as this is how Windows codepoints are distinguished from OEM codepoints.

\ Important:\

  • Focusing the LineEdit with ui_focus_next (by default :kbd:Tab) or ui_focus_prev (by default :kbd:Shift + Tab) or Control.grab_focus() still enters edit mode (for compatibility).

\ LineEdit features many built-in shortcuts that are always available (:kbd:Ctrl here maps to :kbd:Cmd on macOS):

  • :kbd:Ctrl + C: Copy

  • :kbd:Ctrl + X: Cut

  • :kbd:Ctrl + V or :kbd:Ctrl + Y: Paste/"yank"

  • :kbd:Ctrl + Z: Undo

  • :kbd:Ctrl + ~: Swap input direction.

  • :kbd:Ctrl + Shift + Z: Redo

  • :kbd:Ctrl + U: Delete text from the caret position to the beginning of the line

  • :kbd:Ctrl + K: Delete text from the caret position to the end of the line

  • :kbd:Ctrl + A: Select all text

  • :kbd:Up Arrow/:kbd:Down Arrow: Move the caret to the beginning/end of the line

On macOS, some extra keyboard shortcuts are available:

  • :kbd:Cmd + F: Same as :kbd:Right Arrow, move the caret one character right

  • :kbd:Cmd + B: Same as :kbd:Left Arrow, move the caret one character left

  • :kbd:Cmd + P: Same as :kbd:Up Arrow, move the caret to the previous line

  • :kbd:Cmd + N: Same as :kbd:Down Arrow, move the caret to the next line

  • :kbd:Cmd + D: Same as :kbd:Delete, delete the character on the right side of caret

  • :kbd:Cmd + H: Same as :kbd:Backspace, delete the character on the left side of the caret

  • :kbd:Cmd + A: Same as :kbd:Home, move the caret to the beginning of the line

  • :kbd:Cmd + E: Same as :kbd:End, move the caret to the end of the line

  • :kbd:Cmd + Left Arrow: Same as :kbd:Home, move the caret to the beginning of the line

  • :kbd:Cmd + Right Arrow: Same as :kbd:End, move the caret to the end of the line

\ Note: Caret movement shortcuts listed above are not affected by shortcut_keys_enabled.

    func _ready():
        var menu = get_menu()
        # Remove all items after "Redo".
        menu.item_count = menu.get_item_index(MENU_REDO) + 1
        # Add custom items.
        menu.add_separator()
        menu.add_item("Insert Date", MENU_MAX + 1)
        # Connect callback.
        menu.id_pressed.connect(_on_item_pressed)

    func _on_item_pressed(id):

    public override void _Ready()
    {
        var menu = GetMenu();

        // Add custom items.
        menu.AddSeparator();
        menu.AddItem("Insert Date", LineEdit.MenuItems.Max + 1);
        // Add event handler.
        menu.IdPressed += OnItemPressed;
    }

    public void OnItemPressed(int id)
    {
        if (id == LineEdit.MenuItems.Max + 1)
        {
            InsertTextAtCaret(Time.GetDateStringFromSystem());
        }
    }

\ Warning: This is a required internal node, removing and freeing it may cause a crash. If you wish to hide it or any of its children, use their Window.visible property.

Returns the correct column at the end of a composite character like ❤️‍🩹 (mending heart; Unicode: U+2764 U+FE0F U+200D U+1FA79) which is comprised of more than one Unicode code point, if the caret is at the start of the composite character. Also returns the correct column with the caret at mid grapheme and for non-composite characters.

Also returns the correct column with the caret at mid grapheme and for non-composite characters.

\ Note: To check at caret location use get_previous_composite_character_column(get_caret_column())

bool is_editing\ (\ ) const 🔗

Returns whether the LineEdit is being edited.

bool is_menu_visible\ (\ ) const 🔗

Theme Property Descriptions​

Color caret_color = Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1) 🔗

Color of the LineEdit's caret (text cursor). This can be set to a fully transparent color to hide the caret entirely.

Color clear_button_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1) 🔗

Color used as default tint for the clear button.

Color clear_button_color_pressed = Color(1, 1, 1, 1) 🔗

Color used for the clear button when it's pressed.

Color font_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 1) 🔗

Default font color.

Color font_outline_color = Color(0, 0, 0, 1) 🔗

The tint of text outline of the LineEdit.

Color font_placeholder_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 0.6) 🔗

Font color for placeholder_text.

Color font_selected_color = Color(1, 1, 1, 1) 🔗

Font color for selected text (inside the selection rectangle).

Color font_uneditable_color = Color(0.875, 0.875, 0.875, 0.5) 🔗

Font color when editing is disabled.

Color selection_color = Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1) 🔗

Color of the selection rectangle.

int caret_width = 1 🔗

The caret's width in pixels. Greater values can be used to improve accessibility by ensuring the caret is easily visible, or to ensure consistency with a large font size.

int minimum_character_width = 4 🔗

Minimum horizontal space for the text (not counting the clear button and content margins). This value is measured in count of 'M' characters (i.e. this number of 'M' characters can be displayed without scrolling).

int outline_size = 0 🔗

The size of the text outline.

\ Note: If using a font with FontFile.multichannel_signed_distance_field enabled, its FontFile.msdf_pixel_range must be set to at least twice the value of outline_size for outline rendering to look correct. Otherwise, the outline may appear to be cut off earlier than intended.

Font font 🔗

Font used for the text.

int font_size 🔗

Font size of the LineEdit's text.

Texture2D clear 🔗

Texture for the clear button. See clear_button_enabled.

StyleBox focus 🔗

Background used when LineEdit has GUI focus. The focus StyleBox is displayed over the base StyleBox, so a partially transparent StyleBox should be used to ensure the base StyleBox remains visible. A StyleBox that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a StyleBoxEmpty resource. Note that disabling the focus visual effect will harm keyboard/controller navigation usability, so this is not recommended for accessibility reasons.

StyleBox normal 🔗

Default background for the LineEdit.

StyleBox read_only 🔗

Background used when LineEdit is in read-only mode (editable is set to false).
