32 *
33 * \short A container for a set of QAction objects.
34 *
35 * KActionCollection manages a set of QAction objects. It
36 * allows them to be grouped for organized presentation of configuration to the user,
37 * saving + loading of configuration, and optionally for automatic plugging into
38 * specified widget(s).
39 *
40 * Additionally, KActionCollection provides several convenience functions for locating
41 * named actions, and actions grouped by QActionGroup.
42 *
43 * \note If you create your own action collection and need to assign shortcuts
44 * to the actions within, you have to call associateWidget() or
45 * addAssociatedWidget() to have them working.
