/**
 * @class KActionCategory kactioncategory.h KActionCategory
 *
 * Categorize actions for KShortcutsEditor.
 *
 * KActionCategory provides a second level to organize the actions in
 * KShortcutsEditor.
 *
 * The first possibility is using more than one action collection. Each
 * actions collection becomes a top level node.
 *
 * + action collection 1
 *   + first action
 *   + second action
 *   + third action
 * + action collection 2
 *   + first action
 *   + second action
 *   + third action
 *
 * Using KActionCategory it's possible to group the actions of one collection.
 * + action collection 1
 *   + first action
 *   + first category
 *     + action 1 in category
 *     + action 2 in category
 *   + second action
 *
 * \section Usage
 *
 * The usage is analog to action collections. Just create a category and use
 * it instead of the collection to create the actions.
 *
 * The synchronization between KActionCollection and KActionCategory is done
 * internally. There is for example no need to remove actions from a category.
 * It is done implicitly if the action is removed from the associated
 * collection.
 *
 * \code
 *
 * KActionCategory *file = new KActionCategory(i18n("File"), actionCollection());
 * file->addAction(
 *      KStandardAction::New,   //< see KStandardAction
 *      this,                   //< Receiver
 *      SLOT(fileNew()));       //< SLOT
 *
 * ... more actions added to file ...
 *
 * KActionCategory *edit = new KActionCategory(i18n("Edit"), actionCollection());
 * edit->addAction(
 *      KStandardAction::Copy,  //< see KStandardAction
 *      this,                   //< Receiver
 *      SLOT(fileNew()));       //< SLOT
 *
 * ...
 *
 * \endcode
