20 * @class RunnerSyntax runnersyntax.h <KRunner/RunnerSyntax>
21 *
22 * Represents a query prototype that the runner accepts. These can be
23 * created and registered with AbstractRunner::addSyntax to
24 * allow applications to show to the user what the runner is currently capable of doing.
25 *
26 * Lets say the runner has a trigger word and then the user can type anything after that. In that case you could use
27 * ":q:" as a placeholder, which will get expanded to i18n("search term") and be put in brackets.
28 * @code
29 KRunner::RunnerSyntax syntax(QStringLiteral("sometriggerword :q:"), i18n("Description for this syntax"));
30 addSyntax(syntax);
31 * @endcode
32 *
33 * But if the query the user has to enter is sth. specific like a program,
34 * url or file you should use a custom placeholder to make it easier to understand.
35 * @code
36 KRunner::RunnerSyntax syntax(QStringLiteral("sometriggereword <%1>").arg(i18n("program name"))), i18n("Description for this syntax"));
37 addSyntax(syntax);
38 * @endcode
