<h1>Command Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.ktexteditor import *</code>
<p>


Namespace: <a href="../ktexteditor/KTextEditor.html">KTextEditor</a><br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>

<p>An Editor command line command.
</p>
<p>
<b>Introduction </b>
</p>
<p>
The Command class represents a command for the editor command line. A
command simply consists of a string, for example find. To register a
command use CommandInterface.registerCommand(). 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.
</p>
<p>
<b>Command Information </b>
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.
</p>
<p>
These getters allow KTextEditor implementations to plug commands into menus
and toolbars, so that a user can assign shortcuts.
</p>
<p>
<b>Command Extensions </b>
</p>
<p>
If your command needs to interactively react on changes while the user is
typing text - look at the ifind command in Kate for example - you have
to additionally derive your command from the class CommandExtension. The
command extension provides methods to give help on flags or add a
KCompletion object and process the typed text interactively. Besides that
the class RangeCommand enables you to support ranges so that you can apply
commands on regions of text.

A string is the start part of a pure text which can be handled by this

simply s, and for char:1212 simply char.

occurred in the usage it would return false and set the <b>msg</b> to
something like "missing argument." or such.
