 *
 * \brief A text widget with KXMLGUIClient that represents a Document.

 *
 * \section view_intro Introduction
 *
 * The View class represents a single view of a KTextEditor::Document,
 * get the document on which the view operates with document().
 * A view provides both the graphical representation of the text and the
 * KXMLGUIClient for the actions. The view itself does not provide
 * text manipulation, use the methods from the Document instead. The only
 * method to insert text is insertText(), which inserts the given text
 * at the current cursor position and emits the signal textInserted().
 *
 * Usually a view is created by using Document::createView().
 * Furthermore a view can have a context menu. Set it with setContextMenu()
 * and get it with contextMenu().
 *
 * \section view_hook_into_gui Merging the View's GUI
 *
 * A View is derived from the class KXMLGUIClient, so its GUI elements (like
 * menu entries and toolbar items) can be merged into the application's GUI
 * (or into a KXMLGUIFactory) by calling
 * \code
 * // view is of type KTextEditor::View*
 * mainWindow()->guiFactory()->addClient( view );
 * \endcode
 * You can add only one view as client, so if you have several views, you first
 * have to remove the current view, and then add the new one, like this
 * \code
 * mainWindow()->guiFactory()->removeClient( currentView );
 * mainWindow()->guiFactory()->addClient( newView );
 * \endcode
 *
 * \section view_selection Text Selection
 *
 * As the view is a graphical text editor it provides \e normal and \e block
 * text selection. You can check with selection() whether a selection exists.
 * removeSelection() will remove the selection without removing the text,
 * whereas removeSelectionText() also removes both, the selection and the
 * selected text. Use selectionText() to get the selected text and
 * setSelection() to specify the selected text range. The signal
 * selectionChanged() is emitted whenever the selection changed.
 *
 * \section view_cursors Cursor Positions
 *
 * A view has one Cursor which represents a line/column tuple. Two different
 * kinds of cursor positions are supported: first is the \e real cursor
 * position where a \e tab character only counts one character. Second is the
 * \e virtual cursor position, where a \e tab character counts as many
 * spaces as defined. Get the real position with cursorPosition() and the
 * virtual position with cursorPositionVirtual(). Set the real cursor
 * position with setCursorPosition(). The signal cursorPositionChanged() is
 * emitted whenever the cursor position changed.
 *
 * Screen coordinates of the current text cursor position in pixels are obtained
 * through cursorPositionCoordinates(). Further conversion of screen pixel
 * coordinates and text cursor positions are provided by cursorToCoordinate()
 * and coordinatesToCursor().
 *
 * \section view_mouse_tracking Mouse Tracking
 *
 * It is possible to get notified via the signal mousePositionChanged() for
 * mouse move events, if mouseTrackingEnabled() returns \e true. Mouse tracking
 * can be turned on/off by calling setMouseTrackingEnabled(). If an editor
 * implementation does not support mouse tracking, mouseTrackingEnabled() will
 * always return \e false.
 *
 * \section view_modes Input/View Modes
 *
 * A view supports several input modes. Common input modes are
 * \e NormalInputMode and \e ViInputMode. Which input modes the editor supports depends on the
 * implementation. The getter viewInputMode() returns enum \InputMode representing the current mode.
 *
 * Input modes can have their own view modes. In case of default \e NormalInputMode those are
 * \e NormalModeInsert and \e NormalModeOverwrite. You can use viewMode() getter to obtain those.
 *
 * For viewMode() and viewInputMode() there are also variants with \e Human suffix, which
 * returns the human readable representation (i18n) usable for displaying in user interface.
 *
 * Whenever the input/view mode changes the signals
 * viewInputModeChanged()/viewModeChanged() are emitted.
 *
 * \section view_config View Config
 * Config provides methods to access and modify the low level config information for a given
 * View
 * KTextEditor::View has support for the following keys:
 *  - line-numbers [bool], show/hide line numbers
 *  - icon-bar [bool], show/hide icon bar
 *  - folding-bar [bool], show/hide the folding bar
 *  - folding-preview [bool], enable/disable folding preview when mouse hovers
 *    on folded region
 *  - dynamic-word-wrap [bool], enable/disable dynamic word wrap
 *  - background-color [QColor], read/set the default background color
 *  - selection-color [QColor], read/set the default color for selections
 *  - search-highlight-color [QColor], read/set the background color for search
 *  - replace-highlight-color [QColor], read/set the background color for replaces
 *  - default-mark-type [uint], read/set the default mark type
 *  - allow-mark-menu [bool], enable/disable the menu shown when right clicking
 *    on the left gutter. When disabled, click on the gutter will always set
 *    or clear the mark of default type.
 *  - icon-border-color [QColor] read/set the icon border color (on the left,
 *    with the line numbers)
 *  - folding-marker-color [QColor] read/set folding marker colors (in the icon border)
 *  - line-number-color [QColor] read/set line number colors (in the icon border)
 *  - current-line-number-color [QColor] read/set current line number color (in the icon border)
 *  - modification-markers [bool] read/set whether the modification markers are shown
 *  - word-count [bool] enable/disable the counting of words and characters in the statusbar
 *  - line-count [bool] show/hide the total number of lines in the status bar (@since 5.66)
 *  - scrollbar-minimap [bool] enable/disable scrollbar minimap
 *  - scrollbar-preview [bool] enable/disable scrollbar text preview on hover
 *  - font [QFont] change the font
 *  - theme [QString] change the theme
 *  - word-completion-minimal-word-length [int] minimal word length to trigger word completion
 *  - enter-to-insert-completion [bool] enable/disable whether pressing enter inserts completion
 *
 * You can retrieve the value of a config key using configValue() and set the value
 * for a config key using setConfigValue().
 *
 * \section view_annoview Annotation Interface
 *
 * The Annotation Interface allows to do these things:
 * - (1) show/hide the annotation border along with the possibility to add actions
 *       into its context menu.
 * - (2) set a separate AnnotationModel for the View: Note that this interface
 *       inherits the AnnotationInterface.
 * - (3) set a custom AbstractAnnotationItemDelegate for the View.
 *
 * For a more detailed explanation about whether you want to set a custom
 * delegate for rendering the annotations, read the detailed documentation about the
 * AbstractAnnotationItemDelegate.
 *
 * \section view_inlinenote Inline Notes
 *
 * The inline notes interface provides a way to render arbitrary things in
 * the text. The text layout of the line is adapted to create space for the
 * note. Possible applications include showing a name of a function parameter
 * in a function call or rendering a square with a color preview next to CSS
 * color property.
 *
 * \image html inlinenote.png "Inline note showing a CSS color preview"
 *
 * To register as inline note provider, call registerInlineNoteProvider() with
 * an instance that inherits InlineNoteProvider. Finally, make sure you remove
 * your inline note provider by calling unregisterInlineNoteProvider().
 *
 * \section view_texthint Introduction
 *
 * The text hint interface provides a way to show tool tips for text located
 * under the mouse. Possible applications include showing a value of a variable
 * when debugging an application, or showing a complete path of an include
 * directive.
 *
 * \image html texthint.png "Text hint showing the contents of a variable"
 *
 * To register as text hint provider, call registerTextHintProvider() with an
 * instance that inherits TextHintProvider. Finally, make sure you remove your
 * text hint provider by calling unregisterTextHintProvider().
 *
 * Text hints are shown after the user hovers with the mouse for a delay of
 * textHintDelay() milliseconds over the same word. To change the delay, call
 * setTextHintDelay().
 *
 * \section view_compiface Completion Interface
 *
 * The Completion Interface is designed to provide code completion
 * functionality for a KTextEditor::View. This interface provides the basic
 * mechanisms to display a list of completions, update this list according
 * to user input, and allow the user to select a completion.
 *
 * Essentially, this provides an item view for the available completions. In
 * order to use this interface, you will need to implement a
 * CodeCompletionModel that generates the relevant completions given the
 * current input.
 *
 * More information about interfaces for the view can be found in
 * \ref kte_group_view_extensions.
