I want to highlight the text of a Gtk.Entry, like this:

The first solution that came to me was foreign drawing, but I would have to manage everything myself. Other thought I had was to extend Gtk.Entry and override just the drawing of the text, but I don't think that's possible in Python.

How can I do that and take advantage of the work Gtk already does managing focus, drawing, animation, scrolling, cursor, etc.?

Did you consider to use a Gtk.TextView instead? – elya5 Feb 25 '19 at 10:37
Have you checked out this?: https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/index.html#GtkSource-4 – bohrax Feb 26 '19 at 06:50
I can not use TextView or SourceView, it needs to be single-line, that is why I want to extend Entry. – Guerreiro Feb 27 '19 at 21:43
Overiding the drawing of the text is definitely possible in Python. Show us some code. – theGtknerd Mar 05 '19 at 12:18
