When checked, this displays a movable toolbar containing buttons used to initiate frequently used commands. When unchecked the toolbar is hidden.
When checked, this displays a small bar at the bottom of the editor containing information about the status of the current document. When unchecked the statusbar is hidden.
When selected, this displays in the titlebar the path (its location in the file system) of the current document. When unchecked the path is hidden.
This menu item opens a dialog whereby several different settings may be adjusted.
Choose the default text editing component that you wish to use in KWrite. You can choose System Default, Embedded Advanced Text Editor or Qt™ Designer Based Text Editor (note that the Qt™ Designer Based Text Editor is only available if you have KDevelop installed on your system). If you choose System Default, KWrite will honor your changes in TDE Control Center. All other choices will override that setting.
This command opens a dialog box whereby the shortcuts may be changed. A display window at the top of the dialog box shows the list of commands (actions) that can have keyboard shortcuts. Below the display are three radio buttons. The user may choose between No Key, Default Key, and Custom Key. (Note that a set of radio buttons only allows the selection of one of the offered items - in the way that buttons on a car radio only offer the selection of one preset station. Also, the Default Key selection is only available for those commands that actually have a 'default' shortcut.) Selecting the Custom Key option activates the three check boxes and key button at the bottom of the dialog. The user may then select a key combination for the command in question by means of the check boxes and key button. For example, with the About TDE command selected in the display window, the user could select Ctrl and Alt, click on the key button, and then press the K key on the keyboard. This would mean that anytime he or she held down the Ctrl and Alt buttons and pressed K (while using KWrite) the About TDE display box would be called.
This will open the dialog whereby the toolbar configuration may be changed. The user can choose which shortcut buttons should appear on the toolbar. A display window on the left lists the commands available to placed on the toolbar. A display on the right lists those commands already on the toolbar. A set of four arrow buttons between the two displays manipulates the selections. The right pointing arrow places any command selected in the left pane onto the right pane, i.e., it is added to the toolbar. The left arrow does just the opposite, removing any action selected in the right window from the toolbar. The up and down pointing arrows change the position of an action selected in the right window which changes the position of its button in the toolbar.
