Add "change" parameter to TextEdit's text_changed signal

[InkONat]

Add a parameter called "change" to the text_changed signal from TextEdit being the added/removed character from the text in TextEdit

Example:

If you change the text on TextEdit from "text" to "text!" it will print ! and if you change from "text!" to "text" it will also print !

(Sorry if this is a bad proposal its my first time making a feature proposal)

How could the user know whether change is added or removed?

e.g. Changing from hello to hellohello and changing from hellohellohello to hellohello both leave you with the same text and change.

We would need a second parameter for that I think

Could you provide more info regarding what you are trying to do?

For your proposed solution the signal could have both values as parameters
_on_text_changed(current_text, previous_text), so that you can create the difference by yourself and see which characters were added or removed.

To achieve this for now, you could just store the text in a member variable and when handling a text change via the signal you would have the previous_textas a member variable and the new text as the current .text.

Yea that's a good idea
