SCN_MODIFIED notification with source?

[Wonson]

Is it possible to determine the modified source? like when some text inserted, can u tell it's from SETTEXT or directly user keydown or autocomplete insert?

If it can tell such information, that would be useful, thx.

Not in general. There is an SCN_AUTOCCOMPLETED after autocompletion. I did consider an ‘operation’ parameter for SC_MOD_INSERTCHECK but couldn’t think of a good use case and it could require a lot of code modifications to tag each change.

Neil,

Hmm...Maybe I ask this way: How do you define "SC_PERFORMED_USER"? 

I get this flag from notification, though I was calling SCI_REPLACESEL etc.

I expect any programatically method call would not turn on this flag, it should only be turned on when "user typing".

However, currently it seems that any insert outside scintilla backend is SC_PERFORMED_USER?

At least I need a flag which is able to determine "whether it is modified by a human directly input in the editor". Something like that.

Not SC_PERFORMED_UNDO or SC_PERFORMED_REDO.

Scintilla can’t tell the difference between a SCI_CUT performed by the user pressing a key and an application performing some operation through SCI_CUT.

Input source is not currently tracked in Scintilla. If you want to differentiate calls that your application performs then maintain a flag that is set before each call to Scintilla and reset after the call.
