Detailed Description

An Editor command line command.

Introduction

The Command class represents a command for the editor command line. A command simply consists of a string, for example find. The command auto-registers itself at the Editor. The Editor itself queries the command for a list of accepted strings/commands by calling cmds(). If the command gets invoked the function exec() is called, i.e. you have to implement the reaction in exec(). Whenever the user needs help for a command help() is called.

Command Information

To provide reasonable information about a specific command there are the following accessor functions for a given command string:

  • name() returns a label
  • description() returns a descriptive text
  • category() returns a category into which the command fits.

These getters allow KTextEditor implementations to plug commands into menus and toolbars, so that a user can assign shortcuts.

Command Completion

The Command optionally can show a completion popup to help the user select a valid entry as first parameter to the Command. To this end, return a valid completion item by reiplementing completionObject().

The returned completion object is deleted automatically once it is not needed anymore. Therefore neither delete the completion object yourself nor return the same completion object twice.

Interactive Commands

In case the Command needs to interactively process the text of the parameters, override wantsToProcessText() by returning true and reimplement processText().

A typical example of an iterative command would be the incremental search.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Command()

Command::Command ( const QStringList & cmds,
QObject * parent = nullptr )

Constructor with parent.

Will register this command for the commands names given in cmds at the global editor instance.

Definition at line 347 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

◆ ~Command()

Command::~Command ( )
override

Virtual destructor.

Will unregister this command at the global editor instance.

Definition at line 356 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ cmds()

const QStringList & KTextEditor::Command::cmds ( ) const
inline

Return a list of strings a command may begin with.

This is the same list the command was constructed with. A string is the start part of a pure text which can be handled by this command, i.e. for the command s/sdl/sdf/g the corresponding string is simply s, and for char:1212 simply char.

Returns
list of supported commands

Definition at line 96 of file include/ktexteditor/command.h.

◆ completionObject()

KCompletion * Command::completionObject ( KTextEditor::View * view,
const QString & cmdname )
virtual

Return a KCompletion object that will substitute the command line default one while typing the first argument of the command cmdname.

The text will be added to the command separated by one space character.

Override this method if your command can provide a completion object. The returned completion object is deleted automatically once it is not needed anymore. Therefore neither delete the completion object yourself nor return the same completion object twice.

The default implementation returns a null pointer (nullptr).

Parameters
viewthe view the command will work on
cmdnamethe command name associated with this request.
Returns
a valid completion object or nullptr, if a completion object is not supported

Reimplemented in KateCommands::CoreCommands, and KateVi::Commands.

Definition at line 369 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

◆ exec()

virtual bool KTextEditor::Command::exec ( KTextEditor::View * view,
const QString & cmd,
QString & msg,
const KTextEditor::Range & range = KTextEditor::Range::invalid() )
pure virtual

Execute the command for the given view and cmd string.

Return the success value and a msg for status. As example we consider a replace command. The replace command would return the number of replaced strings as msg, like "16 replacements made." If an error occurred in the usage it would return false and set the msg to something like "missing argument." or such.

If a non-invalid range is given, the command shall be executed on that range. supportsRange() tells if the command supports that.

Returns
true on success, otherwise false

Implemented in KateCommandLineScript, KateCommands::Character, KateCommands::CoreCommands, KateCommands::Date, KateCommands::SedReplace, KateScriptManager, and KateVi::Commands.

◆ help()

virtual bool KTextEditor::Command::help ( KTextEditor::View * view,
const QString & cmd,
QString & msg )
pure virtual

Shows help for the given view and cmd string.

If your command has a help text for cmd you have to return true and set the msg to a meaningful text. The help text is embedded by the Editor in a Qt::RichText enabled widget, e.g. a QToolTip.

Returns
true if your command has a help text, otherwise false

Implemented in KateCommandLineScript, KateCommands::Character, KateCommands::CoreCommands, KateCommands::Date, KateCommands::SedReplace, KateScriptManager, and KateVi::Commands.

◆ processText()

void Command::processText ( KTextEditor::View * view,
const QString & text )
virtual

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

Parameters
viewthe current view
textthe current command text typed by the user
See also
wantsToProcessText()

Definition at line 379 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

◆ supportsRange()

bool Command::supportsRange ( const QString & cmd)
virtual

Find out if a given command can act on a range.

This is used for checking if a command should be called when the user also gave a range or if an error should be raised.

Returns
true if command supports acting on a range of lines, false not. The default implementation returns false.

Reimplemented in KateCommandLineScript, KateCommands::CoreCommands, KateCommands::SedReplace, and KateVi::Commands.

Definition at line 364 of file ktexteditor.cpp.

◆ wantsToProcessText()

bool Command::wantsToProcessText ( const QString & cmdname)
virtual

Check, whether the command wants to process text interactively for the given command with name cmdname.

If you return true, the command's processText() method is called whenever the text in the command line changed.

Reimplement this to return true, if your commands wants to process the text while typing.

Parameters
cmdnamethe command name associated with this query.
Returns
true, if your command wants to process text interactively, otherwise false

processText()
