Detailed Description

Extension to the Command interface, allowing to interact with commands during typing.

This allows for completion and for example the isearch plugin. If you develop a command that wants to complete or process text as thu user types the arguments, or that has flags, you can have your command inherit this class.

Member Function Documentation

virtual KCompletion* Kate::CommandExtension::completionObject	(	const QString &	cmdname,
		Kate::View *
	)			[inline, virtual]

Returns:

a KCompletion object that will substitute the command line default one while typing the first argument to the command. The text will be added to the command seperated by one space character.

Implement this method if your command can provide a completion object.

Parameters:

cmdname

The command name associated with this request.

Reimplemented in KateCommands::CoreCommands.

Definition at line 157 of file document.h.

virtual void Kate::CommandExtension::flagCompletions

(

QStringList &

)

[inline, virtual]

Fill in a list of flags to complete from.

Each flag is a single letter, any following text in the string is taken to be a description of the flag's meaning, and showed to the user as a hint. Implement this method if your command has flags.

This method is called each time the flag string in the typed command is changed, so that the available flags can be adjusted. When completions are displayed, existing flags are left out.

virtual void Kate::CommandExtension::processText	(	Kate::View *	view,
		const QString &	text
	)			[inline, virtual]

This is called by the commandline each time the argument text for the command changes, if wantsToProcessText() returns true.

Parameters:

	view	The current view
	text	The current command text typed by the user.

Reimplemented in SearchCommand.

virtual bool Kate::CommandExtension::wantsToProcessText

(

const QString &

cmdname

)

[inline, virtual]

Returns:

whether this command wants to process text interactively given the cmdname. If true, the command's processText() method is called when the text in the command line is changed.

Reimplement this to return true, if your commands wants to process the text as typed.
