User:Annew

I'm annew - aka Anne Wilson. I'm from Yorkshire, in the north of England, and I spend waayyyy too much time working on KDE :-) My interest has long been on user support, so this wiki is the natural extension of that.

Apart from providing support to all family members for their computing problems, I'm interested in gardening, sewing and embroidery, music and reading. In truth, though, little time goes on any of those except reading, these days.

KWrite docs

Chapter 1. Introduction

KWrite is more than a text editor for the KDE Desktop. It is meant to be a programmer's editor, and could be considered as at least a partial alternative to more powerful editors. It may be best used in conjunction with Konqueror for source file browsing for different languages. KWrite also works very well as a simple text editor. One of KWrite's main features is the colourised syntax, customised for many different programming languages such as: C/C++, Java™, Python, Perl, Bash, Modula 2, HTML, and Ada.

Chapter 2. Some Fundamentals

KWrite is very simple to use. Anyone that has used a text editor should have no problems.

Drag and Drop

KWrite uses the KDE Drag and Drop protocol. Files may be dragged and dropped onto KWrite from the Desktop, Konqueror or some remote FTP site opened in one of Konqueror's windows.

Command Line Options

Though KWrite may most often be started from the KDE program menu, or a desktop icon, it can also be opened at the command line prompt of a terminal window. There are a few useful options that are available when doing this.

Specify a File

By specifying the path and name of a particular file the user can have KWrite open (or create) that file immediately upon startup. This option might look something like the following:

kwrite /home/myhome/docs/myfile.txt

Specify a file on the internet

The above-mentioned method could even be used to open files on the internet (if the user has an active connection at the time.) An example of this might look like the following:

kwrite ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/Welcome.msg
