I am writing a simple editor program. How can I check the input text? For example, when the input contains "print", re-format it (color, bold, etc). How to check it continuously?

def recognizer(self):
    while True:
        if "word" in self.plainTextEdit.toplainText :
            print("True")

It sounds like you may want a [QSyntaxHighlighter](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsyntaxhighlighter.html). Possibly related: https://stackoverflow.com/q/40155268/984421. – ekhumoro Mar 18 '18 at 18:54
