Create text area (textEdit) with line number in PyQt

Question

I want to create textEdit with line number on the left side in PyQt like Notepad++. I tried this adding another textEdit but scrolling is stuck. I searched and found this question, but there is no good solution for it.

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for CodeEditor example in pyqt based on the c++ http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-widgets-codeeditor-example.html

Putting it together for python3 (Im using PyQt4 not 5 but I guess it is similar) (and using QPlainTextEdit not QTextEdit see QTextEdit vs QPlainTextEdit ):

import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

import numpy as np

class LineNumberArea(QWidget):


    def __init__(self, editor):
        super().__init__(editor)
        self.myeditor = editor


    def sizeHint(self):
        return Qsize(self.editor.lineNumberAreaWidth(), 0)


    def paintEvent(self, event):
        self.myeditor.lineNumberAreaPaintEvent(event)


class CodeEditor(QPlainTextEdit):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.lineNumberArea = LineNumberArea(self)

        self.connect(self, SIGNAL('blockCountChanged(int)'), self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth)
        self.connect(self, SIGNAL('updateRequest(QRect,int)'), self.updateLineNumberArea)
        self.connect(self, SIGNAL('cursorPositionChanged()'), self.highlightCurrentLine)

        self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth(0)


    def lineNumberAreaWidth(self):
        digits = 1
        count = max(1, self.blockCount())
        while count >= 10:
            count /= 10
            digits += 1
        space = 3 + self.fontMetrics().width('9') * digits
        return space

    def updateLineNumberArea(self, rect, dy):

            self.lineNumberArea.scroll(0, dy)
        else:
            self.lineNumberArea.update(0, rect.y(), self.lineNumberArea.width(),
                       rect.height())

        if rect.contains(self.viewport().rect()):
            self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth(0)


    def resizeEvent(self, event):

        self.lineNumberArea.setGeometry(QRect(cr.left(), cr.top(),
                    self.lineNumberAreaWidth(), cr.height()))


    def lineNumberAreaPaintEvent(self, event):
        mypainter = QPainter(self.lineNumberArea)

        mypainter.fillRect(event.rect(), Qt.lightGray)

        block = self.firstVisibleBlock()
        blockNumber = block.blockNumber()
        top = self.blockBoundingGeometry(block).translated(self.contentOffset()).top()
        bottom = top + self.blockBoundingRect(block).height()

        # Just to make sure I use the right font

                mypainter.drawText(0, top, self.lineNumberArea.width(), height,
                 Qt.AlignRight, number)

            block = block.next()
            top = bottom
            bottom = top + self.blockBoundingRect(block).height()

It's my code of PyQt5 and python3 which combined @Dan-Dev and @Axel Schneider. You can directly run it, or simply import use code from QCodeEditor import QCodeEditor.

from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QRect, QSize
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QPlainTextEdit, QTextEdit
from PyQt5.QtGui import QColor, QPainter, QTextFormat


class QLineNumberArea(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, editor):
        super().__init__(editor)
        self.codeEditor = editor

    def sizeHint(self):
        return QSize(self.editor.lineNumberAreaWidth(), 0)

    def paintEvent(self, event):
        self.codeEditor.lineNumberAreaPaintEvent(event)

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.lineNumberArea = QLineNumberArea(self)
        self.blockCountChanged.connect(self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth)
        self.updateRequest.connect(self.updateLineNumberArea)
        self.cursorPositionChanged.connect(self.highlightCurrentLine)
        self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth(0)

    def lineNumberAreaWidth(self):

        max_value = max(1, self.blockCount())
        while max_value >= 10:
            max_value /= 10
            digits += 1
        space = 3 + self.fontMetrics().width('9') * digits
        return space

    def updateLineNumberAreaWidth(self, _):
        self.setViewportMargins(self.lineNumberAreaWidth(), 0, 0, 0)

    def updateLineNumberArea(self, rect, dy):
        if dy:
            self.lineNumberArea.scroll(0, dy)
        else:
            self.lineNumberArea.update(0, rect.y(), self.lineNumberArea.width(), rect.height())
        if rect.contains(self.viewport().rect()):
            self.updateLineNumberAreaWidth(0)

    def resizeEvent(self, event):

            lineColor = QColor(Qt.yellow).lighter(160)
            selection.format.setBackground(lineColor)
            selection.format.setProperty(QTextFormat.FullWidthSelection, True)

            selection.cursor.clearSelection()
            extraSelections.append(selection)

    def lineNumberAreaPaintEvent(self, event):
        painter = QPainter(self.lineNumberArea)

        painter.fillRect(event.rect(), Qt.lightGray)

        block = self.firstVisibleBlock()
        blockNumber = block.blockNumber()

        height = self.fontMetrics().height()

            if block.isVisible() and (bottom >= event.rect().top()):
                number = str(blockNumber + 1)

                painter.drawText(0, top, self.lineNumberArea.width(), height, Qt.AlignRight, number)

            block = block.next()

            bottom = top + self.blockBoundingRect(block).height()
            blockNumber += 1


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    codeEditor = QCodeEditor()
    codeEditor.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

It runs like this.

By the way, if you want use it in your Qt Designer, you should do it like this and place the *.ui file in the same directory of your QCodeEditor.py file's path unless you set the environment variable. And, you need convert your *.ui file to *.py file by the command pyuic5 -x *.ui -o *.py. Hope Helpful~
