Chapter 7. Menu Entries

The File Menu

File->New (Ctrl+N)

This command starts a new document in the editing window. In the Documents list on the left the new file is named Untitled.

File->Open... (Ctrl+O)

Launches TDE's open file dialog box to let you open one or more files.

File->Open Recent

This command allows you to open a file from a submenu that contains a list of recently edited files.

File->Open With

This submenu presents a list of applications known to handle the mime type of your current document. Activating an entry will open the current document with that application.

In addition, a entry Other... command launches the open with dialog box that allows you to select another application to open the active file. Your file will still be open in Kate.

File->Save (Ctrl+S)

This command saves your file. Use it often. If the file is Untitled then Save becomes Save As.

File->Save As...

Name and rename files with this command. It launches the save file dialog box. This dialog works just as the open file dialog box does. You can use it to navigate through your file system, preview existing files, or filter your file view with file masks.

Type the name you want to give the file you are saving in the Location combo box and press the OK button.

File->Save All (Ctrl+L)

This command saves all modified open files.

File->Reload (F5)

Reloads the active file. This command is useful if another program or process has changed the file while you have it open in Kate

File->Print... (Ctrl+P)

Print the active file.

File->Export as HTML...

Export your file in HTML format so your document can be viewed as a web page.

File->Mail...

Open your mail client and attach the file in the mail.

File->Close (Ctrl+W)

Close the active file with this command. If you have made unsaved changes, you will be prompted to save the file before Kate closes it.

File->Close All

This command closes all the files you have open in Kate.

File->Quit (Ctrl+Q)

This command closes Kate and any files you were editing. If you have made unsaved changes to any of the files you were editing, you will be prompted to save them.
