Detailed Description

Inserts a template and offers advanced snippet features, like navigation and mirroring.

For each template inserted a new KateTemplateHandler will be created.

The handler has the following features:

• It inserts the template string into the document at the requested position.
• When the template contains at least one variable, the cursor will be placed at the start of the first variable and its range gets selected.
• When more than one variable exists,TAB and SHIFT TAB can be used to navigate to the next/previous variable.
• When a variable occurs more than once in the template, edits to any of the occurrences will be mirroed to the other ones.
• When ESC is pressed, the template handler closes.
• When ALT + RETURN is pressed and a %{cursor} variable exists in the template,the cursor will be placed there. Else the cursor will be placed at the end of the template.

Member Function Documentation

bool KateTemplateHandler::eventFilter	(	QObject *	object,
		QEvent *	event
	)			[protected, virtual]

Provide keyboard interaction for the template handler.

The event filter handles the following shortcuts:

TAB: jump to next editable (i.e. not mirrored) range. NOTE: this prevents indenting via TAB. SHIFT + TAB: jump to previous editable (i.e. not mirrored) range. NOTE: this prevents un-indenting via SHIFT + TAB. ESC: terminate template handler (only when no completion is active). ALT + RETURN: accept template and jump to the end-cursor. if %{cursor} was given in the template, that will be the end-cursor. else just jump to the end of the inserted text.
