Detailed Description

Accessor interface for Editor part.

Topics:

Introduction

The Editor part can be accessed via the KTextEditor::Factory or the KTextEditor::EditorChooser and provides general information and configuration methods for the Editor implementation, for example KAboutData by using aboutData().

The Editor implementation has a list of all opened documents. Get this list with documents(). To create a new Document call createDocument(). The signal documentCreated() is emitted whenever the Editor created a new document.

Editor Configuration

If the Editor implementation supports a config dialog configDialogSupported() returns true, then the config dialog can be shown with configDialog(). Instead of using the config dialog, the config pages can be embedded into the application's config dialog. To do this, configPages() returns the number of config pages the Editor implementation provides and configPage() returns the requested page. Further, a config page has a short descriptive name, get it with configPageName(). You can get more detailed name by using configPageFullName(). Also every config page has a pixmap, get it with configPagePixmap(). The configuration can be saved and loaded with readConfig() and writeConfig().

Note: We recommend to embedd the config pages into the main application's config dialog instead of using a separate config dialog, if the config dialog does not look cluttered then. This way, all settings are grouped together in one place.

Implementation Notes

Usually only one instance of the Editor exists. The Kate Part implementation internally uses a static accessor to make sure that only one Kate Part Editor object exists. So several factories still use the same Editor.

readConfig() and writeConfig() should be forwarded to all loaded plugins as well, see KTextEditor::Plugin::readConfig() and KTextEditor::Plugin::writeConfig().

Editor Extension Interfaces

There is only a single extension interface for the Editor: the CommandInterface. With the CommandInterface it is possible to add and remove new command line commands which are valid for all documents. Common use cases are for example commands like find or setting document variables. For further details read the detailed descriptions in the class KTextEditor::CommandInterface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Editor::Editor ( QObject * parent )

Constructor.

Create the Editor object with parent.

Parameters

parent parent object

Definition at line 85 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

Editor::~Editor ( )

virtual

Virtual destructor.

Definition at line 91 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const KAboutData* KTextEditor::Editor::aboutData ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the about data of this Editor part.

Returns: about data

virtual void KTextEditor::Editor::configDialog ( QWidget * parent )

pure virtual

Show the editor's config dialog, changes will be applied to the editor, but not saved anywhere automagically, call writeConfig() to save them.

Note: Instead of using the config dialog, the config pages can be embedded into your own config dialog by using configPages() and configPage().

Parameters

parent parent widget

See also: configDialogSupported()

virtual bool KTextEditor::Editor::configDialogSupported ( ) const

pure virtual

Check, whether this editor has a configuration dialog.

Returns: true, if the editor has a configuration dialog, otherwise false

See also: configDialog()

virtual ConfigPage* KTextEditor::Editor::configPage	(	int	number,
		QWidget *	parent
	)

pure virtual

Get the config page with the number, config pages from 0 to configPages()-1 are available if configPages() > 0.

Parameters

number	index of config page
parent	parent widget for config page

Returns: created config page or NULL, if the number is out of bounds

See also: configPages()

virtual QString KTextEditor::Editor::configPageFullName ( int number ) const

pure virtual

Get a readable full name for the config page number.

The name should be translated.

Example: If the name is "Filetypes", the full name could be "Filetype Specific Settings". For "Shortcuts" the full name would be something like "Shortcut Configuration".

Parameters

number index of config page

Returns: full name of given page index

See also: configPageName(), configPagePixmap()

virtual KIcon KTextEditor::Editor::configPageIcon ( int number ) const

pure virtual

Get a pixmap with size for the config page number.

Parameters

number index of config page

Returns: pixmap for the given page index

See also: configPageName(), configPageFullName()

virtual QString KTextEditor::Editor::configPageName ( int number ) const

pure virtual

Get a readable name for the config page number.

The name should be translated.

Parameters

number index of config page

Returns: name of given page index

See also: configPageFullName(), configPagePixmap()

virtual int KTextEditor::Editor::configPages ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the number of available config pages.

If the editor returns a number < 1, it does not support config pages and the embedding application should use configDialog() instead.

Returns: number of config pages

See also: configPage(), configDialog()

virtual Document* KTextEditor::Editor::createDocument ( QObject * parent )

pure virtual

Create a new document object with parent.

Parameters

parent parent object

Returns: new KTextEditor::Document object

See also: documents()

const QString & Editor::defaultEncoding ( ) const

Get the current default encoding for this Editor part.

Returns: default encoding

Since: 4.5

Definition at line 106 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

void KTextEditor::Editor::documentCreated	(	KTextEditor::Editor *	editor,
		KTextEditor::Document *	document
	)

signal

The editor emits this signal whenever a document was successfully created.

Parameters

editor	editor which created the new document
document	the newly created document instance

See also: createDocument()

virtual const QList<Document*>& KTextEditor::Editor::documents ( )

pure virtual

Get a list of all documents of this editor.

Returns: list of all existing documents

See also: createDocument()

virtual void KTextEditor::Editor::readConfig ( KConfig * config = 0 )

pure virtual

Read editor configuration from KConfig config.

Note: Implementation Notes: If config is NULL you should use kapp->config() as a fallback solution. Additionally the readConfig() call should be forwarded to every loaded plugin.

Parameters

config config object

See also: writeConfig()

void Editor::setDefaultEncoding ( const QString & defaultEncoding )

protected

Set the current default encoding for this Editor part.

Editor part implementation should call this internally on creation and config changes.

Parameters

defaultEncoding new default encoding

Since: 4.5

Definition at line 111 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

void Editor::setSimpleMode ( bool on )

Switch editor to simple mode for average users.

Switch the editor to a simple mode which will hide advanced stuff from average user or switch it back to normal mode. This mode will only affect documents/views created after the change.

Parameters

on	turn simple mode on or not

Definition at line 96 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

bool Editor::simpleMode ( ) const

Query the editor whether simple mode is on or not.

Returns: true if simple mode is on, otherwise false

See also: setSimpleMode()

Definition at line 101 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

virtual void KTextEditor::Editor::writeConfig ( KConfig * config = 0 )

pure virtual

Write editor configuration to KConfig config.

Note: Implementation Notes: If config is NULL you should use kapp->config() as a fallback solution. Additionally the writeConfig() call should be forwarded to every loaded plugin.

Parameters

config config object

See also: readConfig()
