# Method GTK2.TextBuffer()->select_range()

Method select_range

  ``GTK2.TextBuffer` select_range(`GTK2.TextIter` `ins`, `GTK2.TextIter` `bound`)`

Description

  This function removes the "insert" and "selection_bound" marks simultaneously. If you move them in two steps with move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.
