Inherits: QTextEdit → QAbstractScrollArea → QFrame → QWidget → QObject
Subclasses: KRichTextEdit
Detailed Description
A KDE'ified QTextEdit
This is just a little subclass of QTextEdit, implementing some standard KDE features, like cursor auto-hiding, configurable wheelscrolling (fast-scroll or zoom), spell checking and deleting of entire words with Ctrl-Backspace or Ctrl-Delete.
This text edit provides two ways of spell checking: background checking, which will mark incorrectly spelled words red, and a spell check dialog, which lets the user check and correct all incorrectly spelled words.
Basic rule: whenever you want to use QTextEdit, use KTextEdit!

Method Documentation
Constructs a KTextEdit object. See QTextEdit.QTextEdit for details.
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| QWidget | parent=0 | |||
| ) |
Constructs a KTextEdit object. See QTextEdit.QTextEdit for details.
| checkSpelling | ( | self ) |
Create a modal dialog to check the spelling. This slot will not return until spell checking has been completed.
| checkSpellingChanged | ( | self, | ||
| bool | a0 | |||
| ) |
emit signal when we activate or not autospellchecking
- Since:
- 4.1
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("checkSpellingChanged(bool)"), target_slot)
| bool checkSpellingEnabled | ( | self ) |
Returns true if background spell checking is enabled for this text edit. Note that it even returns true if this is a read-only KTextEdit, where spell checking is actually disabled. By default spell checking is disabled.
- See also:
- setCheckSpellingEnabled()
| contextMenuEvent | ( | self, | ||
| QContextMenuEvent | a0 | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented from QTextEdit to add spelling related items when appropriate.
| createHighlighter | ( | self ) |
Allows to create a specific highlighter if reimplemented.
By default, it creates a normal highlighter, based on the config file given to setSpellCheckingConfigFileName().
This highlighter is set each time spell checking is toggled on by calling setCheckSpellingEnabled(), but can later be overridden by calling setHighlighter().

- setHighlighter()

- highlighter()

- setSpellCheckingConfigFileName()
| deleteWordBack | ( | self ) |
Deletes a word backwards from the current cursor position, if available.
| deleteWordForward | ( | self ) |
Deletes a word forwards from the current cursor position, if available.
| enableFindReplace | ( | self, | ||
| bool | enabled | |||
| ) |
Enable find replace action.
- Since:
- 4.1
| bool event | ( | self, | ||
| QEvent | a0 | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented to catch "delete word" shortcut events.
| focusInEvent | ( | self, | ||
| QFocusEvent | a0 | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented to instantiate a KDictSpellingHighlighter, if spellchecking is enabled.
| highlightWord | ( | self, | ||
| int | length, | |||
| int | pos | |||
| ) |
Selects the characters at the specified position. Any previous selection will be lost. The cursor is moved to the first character of the new selection.
- Parameters:
-
length The length of the selection, in number of characters pos The position of the first character of the selection
| Sonnet.Highlighter highlighter | ( | self ) |
Returns the current highlighter, which is 0 if spell checking is disabled. The default highlighter is the one created by createHighlighter(), but might be overridden by setHighlighter().

- setHighlighter()
- See also:
- createHighlighter()
| keyPressEvent | ( | self, | ||
| QKeyEvent | a0 | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented for internal reasons
| languageChanged | ( | self, | ||
| QString | language | |||
| ) |
Emitted when the user changes the language in the spellcheck dialog shown by checkSpelling().
- Parameters:
-
language the new language the user selected
- Since:
- 4.1
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("languageChanged(const QString&)"), target_slot)
| QMenu mousePopupMenu | ( | self ) |
Return standard KTextEdit popupMenu
- Since:
- 4.1
| replace | ( | self ) |
Create replace dialogbox
- Since:
- 4.1
| setCheckSpellingEnabled | ( | self, | ||
| bool | check | |||
| ) |
Turns background spell checking for this text edit on or off. Note that spell checking is only available in read-writable KTextEdits.
Enabling spell checking will set back the current highlighter to the one returned by createHighlighter().
- See also:
- checkSpellingEnabled()
- See also:
- isReadOnly()
- See also:
- setReadOnly()
| setHighlighter | ( | self, | ||
| Sonnet.Highlighter | _highLighter | |||
| ) |
Sets a custom backgound spell highlighter for this text edit. Normally, the highlighter returned by createHighlighter() will be used to detect and highlight incorrectly spelled words, but this function allows to set a custom highlighter.
This has to be called after enabling spell checking with setCheckSpellingEnabled(), otherwise it has no effect.
- See also:
- highlighter()
- See also:
- createHighlighter()
- Parameters:
-
highLighter the new highlighter which will be used now
| setReadOnly | ( | self, | ||
| bool | readOnly | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented to set a proper "deactivated" background color.
| setSpellCheckingConfigFileName | ( | self, | ||
| QString | fileName | |||
| ) |
Allows to override the config file where the settings for spell checking, like the current language or encoding, are stored. By default, the global config file (kdeglobals) is used, to share spell check settings between all applications.
This has to be called before any spell checking is initiated.
- Parameters:
-
fileName the URL of the config file which will be used to read spell settings
@bug this has no effect for the spell dialog, only for the background check
| setSpellCheckingLanguage | ( | self, | ||
| QString | language | |||
| ) |
change default language for spell checking dialogbox
- Since:
- 4.1
| slotDoFind | ( | self ) |
| slotDoReplace | ( | self ) |
- Since:
- 4.1
| slotFind | ( | self ) |
| slotFindNext | ( | self ) |
| slotReplace | ( | self ) |
| slotReplaceNext | ( | self ) |
| spellCheckStatus | ( | self, | ||
| QString | a0 | |||
| ) |
Signal sends when spell checking is finished/stopped/completed
- Since:
- 4.1
- Signal syntax:
QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("spellCheckStatus(const QString&)"), target_slot)
| wheelEvent | ( | self, | ||
| QWheelEvent | a0 | |||
| ) |
Reimplemented to allow fast-wheelscrolling with Ctrl-Wheel or zoom.
