They do not move the insert point.  Other than the scrollbars this is
the only way that the insert point may be moved off of the visible text
area.  The widget will be scrolled so that the insert point is back on
the screen as soon as some other action is executed.

    <listitem>
      <para>
This action may only be attached to a key event. When the
<function>international</function> resource is <function>false</function>, this action
calls XLookupString to translate the event into a (rebindable) Latin-1
character (sequence) and inserts it into the text at the
insert point.  When the <function>international</function> resource is <function>true</function>,
characters are passed to the input method via XwcLookupString, and any
committed string returned is inserted into the text at the insert point.

This action inserts each <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis> into the text
at the insert point location.  Any <emphasis remap='I'>string</emphasis>
beginning with the characters "0x" followed by an even
number of hexadecimal digits is
interpreted as a hexadecimal constant and the
corresponding string is inserted instead.  This
hexadecimal string may represent up to 50 8-bit characters.
 When the<function>international</function> resource is
<function>true</function>, a hexadecimal string is intrepeted as
being in a multi-byte encoding, and a hexadecimal
or regular string will result in an error message
if it is not legal in the current locale.

    <listitem>
      <para>
This action allows the insert point to be turned on and off.
The <emphasis remap='I'>state</emphasis> argument specifies the desired state of the insert point.
This value may be any of the string
values accepted for Boolean resources (e.g. <function>on</function>, <function>True</function>,
<function>off</function>, <function>False</function>, etc.).  If no arguments are specified, the
default value is <function>True</function>.
The <emphasis remap='I'>when</emphasis> argument specifies, for <function>EnterNotify</function> or <function>LeaveNotify</function>
events whether or not the focus field in the event is to be examined.
If the second argument is not specified, or specified as something other
than <function>always</function> then if the action is bound to an  <function>EnterNotify</function>
or <function>LeaveNotify</function> event, the action will be taken only if the focus
field is <function>True</function>.  An augmented binding that might be useful is:

      multiply(<emphasis remap='I'>value</emphasis>)

      <para>
The multiply action allows the user to multiply the effects of many of
the text actions.  Thus the following action sequence
<emphasis remap='I'>multiply(10) delete-next-word()</emphasis> will delete 10 words.  It does not
matter whether these actions take place in one event or many events.
Using the default translations the key sequence
<emphasis remap='I'>Control-u, Control-d</emphasis> will delete 4 characters.
Multiply actions can be chained, thus
<emphasis remap='I'>multiply(5) multiply(5)</emphasis> is the same as
<emphasis remap='I'>multiply(25)</emphasis>.  If the string
<function>reset</function> is passed to the multiply action the effects of all previous
multiplies are removed and a beep is sent to the display.

This action removes all the Carriage Returns from the current
paragraph and reinserts them so that each line is as long as possible, while
still fitting on the current screen.  Lines are broken at word boundaries if
at all possible.  This action currently works only on Text widgets
that use ASCII text.

This action will swap the position of the character to the left of the
insert point with the character to the right of the insert point.  The insert point will then
be advanced one character.

The no-op action makes no change to the text widget, and is mainly used
to override translations.  This action takes one optional argument.  If
this argument is <emphasis remap='I'>RingBell</emphasis> then a beep is sent to the display.

<!-- .sp -->
This action is written specifically for the file insertion and the search
and replace
dialog boxes.  This action is attached to those shells by the Text widget,
in order to handle ClientMessage events with the WM_PROTOCOLS atom in the
detail field.  This action supports WM_DELETE_WINDOW on the Text widget
popups, and may support other window manager protocols if necessary in
the future.  The popup will be dismissed if the window manager sends
a WM_DELETE_WINDOW request and there are no parameters in the action
call, which is the default.  The popup will also be dismissed if the
parameters include the string <quote>wm_delete_window,</quote> and the event is a
ClientMessage event requesting dismissal or is not a ClientMessage event.
This action is not sensitive to the case of the strings passed as parameters.

<indexterm><primary>Input Method</primary></indexterm>
When the <function>international</function> resource is <function>true</function>,
input is usually passed to an input method, a separate
process, for composing.  Sometimes the connection to
this process gets severed; this action will attempt to
reconnect it.  Causes for severage include network
trouble, and the user explicitly killing one input
method and starting a new one.  This action may also
establish first connection when the application is
started before the input method.

<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The default behavior of the text selection array is described in the
section called <function>Text Selections for Users</function>.  To modify the selections
a programmer must construct a <function>XawTextSelectType</function> array (called the
selection array), containing the selections desired, and pass this as
the new value for the <function>selectionTypes</function> resource.  The selection
array may also be modified using the <xref linkend='XawTextSetSelectionArray' xrefstyle='select: title'/>
<indexterm><primary>XawTextSetSelectionArray</primary></indexterm>
function.  All selection arrays must end with the value
<function>XawselectNull</function>.  The <function>selectionTypes</function> resource has no converter
registered and cannot be modified through the resource manager.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The array contains a list of entries that will be called when the user
attempts to select text in rapid succession with the <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis>
action (usually by clicking a pointer button).  The first entry in the
selection array will be used when the <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis> action is
initially called.  The next entry will be used when <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis>
is called again, and so on.  If a timeout value (1/10 of a second) is
exceeded, the the next <emphasis remap='I'>select-start</emphasis> action will begin at the top
of the selection array.  When <function>XawselectNull</function> is reached the array
is recycled beginning with the first element.
