This widget should be used to retrieve small amounts of text from the user. A fairly large set of key bindings are supported by default. If the entered text is longer than the allocation of the widget, the widget will scroll so that the cursor position is visible.
See also the Gtk.TextView widget for displaying and editing large amounts of text.

{
new EntrySample ();
