What are they all in +the terminology of &kate;, and how do you get the most out of it? This +chapter will explain all of that, and even more. + + + +The Main Window + +The &kate; Main Window is a standard &kde; application window, +with the addition of dockable subwindows, or tool windows. It has a +Menubar with all the common menus, and some more, and a toolbar +providing access to commonly used commands. + +The most important part of the window is the Editing Area, by +default displaying a single text editor component, in which you can +work with your documents. + +The docking capabilities of the window is used for the tool +windows: + + +The File List +The File Selector +The Built in Terminal Emulator + + +And possibly other tool windows, for example provided by +plugins. + +The Tool Windows can be placed anywhere you want them inside or +outside the main window by dragging the handle bar in the top of them +with the &LMB; pressed, and stacked in shared tab windows if +desired. + +When dragging a docked window, a black rectangle will be +displayed to indicate where the window will be placed if you release +the mouse button, unless you move the mouse cursor outside the main +window, in which case the dragged window will become a free floating +top level window. + + + + + + + + +The Editor area + +&kate; is capable of having more than one document open at the +same time, and also of splitting the editing area into any number of +frames, similar to how for example &konqueror; or the popular +emacs text editor works. This way you can +view several documents at the same time, or more instances of the same +document, handy for example if your document contains definitions in +the top that you want to see often for reference. Or you could view a +program source header in one frame, while editing the implementation +file in another. + +When a document is available in more than one editor, changes +made in one editor will immediately be reflected in the others as +well. This includes changing the text as well as selecting +text. Search operations or cursor movement is only reflected in the +current editor. + +It is currently not possible to have more instances of the same +document open in the sense that one instance will be edited while the +other will not. + +When splitting an editor into two frames, it is divided into two +equally sized frames, both displaying the current document of that +editor. The new frame will be at the bottom (in the case of a +horizontal split) or at the right (for a vertical split). The new +frame gets the focus, which is visualized by a small green led in the +focused frame. + + + + +The File List + +The file list displays a list of all documents currently open in +&kate;. Modified files will have a small floppy +disk icon on their left to indicate that state. + +If two or more files with the same name (located in different +directories) are open, the names of the second will be prepended +<2> and so on. The tool-tip for the file will +display its full name including the path, allowing you to choose the +desired one. To display a document in the currently +active frame, click the document name in the list. + +The default location in the &kate; window is to the left of the +editing area, in a dockable tab window shared with the File Selector. + + + +The File Selector + +The File Selector is a directory viewer, allowing you to open +files from a displayed directory in the current frame. + +From top down, the file selector consist of the following +elements: + + + +A Toolbar + +This contains standard navigations tool buttons: + + +Home +Pressing it will cause the directory view to cd to your home directory. + + +Up +This will cause the directory view to cd to the immediate parent of the currently displayed +directory if possible. + + +Back +Causes the directory view to cd to the previously displayed directory in the history. +This button is disabled, if there is no previous item. + + +Forward +Causes the directory view to cd to the next directory in the history. +This button is disabled, if there is no next directory. + + +Sync +This button will cause the directory view to +cd to the directory of the currently active +document if possible. This button is disabled, if the active document +is a new, unsaved file, or the directory in which it resides can not +be decided. + + + + + + + +A &URL; entry + +Here you can type the path of a directory to browse. The URL +entry is maintaining a list of previously typed paths, to choose one +use the arrow button on the right of the entry. +The &URL; entry has directory auto-completion, the completion +method can be set using the &RMB; menu of the text +entry. + + + + +A Directory View +This is a standard &kde; directory view. + + + +A Filter Entry + +The Filter entry allows you to enter a filter for the files +displayed in the directory view. The filter is using standard globs, +patterns must be separated by whitespace. Example: *.cpp +*.h *.moc +To display all files, enter a single asterisk +*. +The filter entry saves the last 10 filters entered between +sessions, to use one, press the arrow button on the right of the entry +and select the desired filter string. + + + + + + + + + +The Built in Terminal Emulator + +The built in Terminal Emulator is a copy of the &kde; &konsole; +terminal application, for your convenience. It is available from the +SettingsShow Terminal +Emulator menu item or theF7, and will get the focus +whenever displayed. Additionally, if the Sync &konsole; with +active document option is enabled, it will +cd into the directory of the current document if +possible when it is displayed, or when the current document +changes. + +The default location in the &kate; window is at the bottom, +below the editing area. + +You can configure the &konsole; using it's &RMB; menu, for more +information, see the &konsole; manual. + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
