The most important feature of CUTE is the built-in python interpreter. It is responsible for configuring and extending CUTE. There are tasks which a user will wish to automate in a text editor. One way to do this is to record a macro once and execute it several times. The alternative is to write a python script using CUTE functions.
General functions are defined in the cute python module.
Load a file into the editor.
Get an integer value from the user via a dialog.
Get a string from the user via a dialog.
Show a message dialog.
Show a message dialog asking a question with yes and no button.
Show an open file dialog and returns file name. You can also use a filter. For example: getOpenFileName(“*.cpp”).
Show an open dir dialog and returns dir name.
Load a previously-saved session called filename.
Retrieve list containing all views.
The given view will become the current one.
These functions are defined in the config module.
Add an item to the recent file menu.
Add an item to the bookmark menu.
Add an item to the tools menu.
Add an item to the tools menu, after the command has been created with createCommand()
Set working directory.
Set main window geometry: width, height and position.
Map an action to a shortcut.
creates a new command implemented in function with the given name; it can be bound to a shortcut and inserted into a menu
Construct new color object.
Scintilla functions are defined in the cute module.
These functions can be called with or without a view object: for example it is possible to call my_view.clear() in order to clear a certain view or just clear() in order to clear the current view.
Deletes all the text in the text edit.
Copies selected text to the clipboard.
Copies selected text to the clipboard and then deletes the text.
If any lines are currently folded then they are all unfolded. Otherwise all lines are folded. This has the same effect as clicking in the fold margin with the shift and control keys pressed.

Undo the last change or sequence of changes.
Redo previously-Undone changes or sequences of changes.
If the cursor is either side of a brace character then move it to the position of the corresponding brace and select the text between the braces.
Zooms in on the text by making the base font size one point larger and recalculating all font sizes.
Zooms out on the text by making the base font size range points smaller and recalculating all font sizes.
Mark the beginning of a sequence of actions that can be undone by a single call to undo().

Set the foreground color used to display matched braces.
Set the background color used to display unmatched braces.
Set the foreground color used to display unmatched braces.

If bool is 1 then indentations are created using tabs and spaces, rather than just spaces.

Sets the read-only state of the text edit.
If bool is 1 then the tab key will indent a line rather then insert a tab character.
Sets the tab width.
Sets the current text encoding. If bool is 1 then UTF8 is used, otherwise Latin1 is used.
