/**
 * Convenience methods to access all standard KDE actions.
 *
 * These actions should be used instead of hardcoding menubar and
 * toolbar items.  Using these actions helps your application easily
 * conform to the KDE UI Style Guide
 * @see http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/index.html .
 *
 * All of the documentation for @ref KAction holds for KStdAction
 * also.  When in doubt on how things work, check the @ref KAction
 * documention first.
 *
 * @sect Simple Example:
 *
 * In general, using standard actions should be a drop in replacement
 * for regular actions.  For example, if you previously had:
 *
 * 
 * KAction *newAct = new KAction(i18n("&New"), QIconSet(BarIcon("filenew")),
 *                               KStdAccel::key(KStdAccel::New), this,
 *                               SLOT(fileNew()), actionCollection());
 * 
* * You could drop that and replace it with: * *
 * KAction *newAct = KStdAction::openNew(this, SLOT(fileNew()),
 *                                       actionCollection());
 * 
* * @sect Non-standard Usages * * It is possible to use the standard actions in various * non-recommended ways. Say, for instance, you wanted to have a * standard action (with the associated correct text and icon and * accelerator, etc) but you didn't want it to go in the standard * place (this is not recommended, by the way). One way to do this is * to simply not use the XML UI framework and plug it into wherever * you want. If you do want to use the XML UI framework (good!), then * it is still possible. * * Basically, the XML building code matches names in the XML code with * the internal names of the actions. You can find out the internal * names of each of the standard actions by using the @ref stdName * action like so: @ref KStdAction::stdName(KStdAction::Cut) would return * 'edit_cut'. The XML building code will match 'edit_cut' to the * attribute in the global XML file and place your action there. * * However, you can change the internal name. In this example, just * do something like: * *
 * (void)KStdAction::cut(this, SLOT(editCut()), actionCollection(), "my_cut");
 * 
* * Now, in your local XML resource file (e.g., yourappui.rc), simply * put 'my_cut' where you want it to go. * * Another non-standard usage concerns getting a pointer to an * existing action if, say, you want to enable or disable the action. * You could do it the recommended way and just grab a pointer when * you instantiate it as in the the 'openNew' example above... or you * could do it the hard way: * *
 * KAction *cut = actionCollection()->action(KStdAction::stdName(KStdAction::Cut));
 * 
* * Another non-standard usage concerns instantiating the action in the * first place. Usually, you would use the member functions as * shown above (e.g., KStdAction::cut(this, SLOT, parent)). You * may, however, do this using the enums provided. This author can't * think of a reason why you would want to, but, hey, if you do, * here's how: * *
 * (void)KStdAction::action(KStdAction::New, this, SLOT(fileNew()), actionCollection());
 * (void)KStdAction::action(KStdAction::Cut, this, SLOT(editCut()), actionCollection());
 *
