36 * Action for selecting one of several items.
37 *
38 * This action shows up a submenu with a list of items.
39 * One of them can be checked. If the user clicks on an item
40 * this item will automatically be checked,
41 * the formerly checked item becomes unchecked.
42 * There can be only one item checked at a time.

44 * Porting from KF5 to KF6:
45 *
46 * <!-- Using '%' before the old symbol to prevent auto linking here and below -->
47 * The overloaded signal %KSelectAction::triggered(QAction *action) was renamed
48 * to KSelectAction::actionTriggered(QAction *action).
