KDE: Kate close/save multiple files.

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

One more patch from my side to Kate. This time it’s from kate wish-list Bug No. 62998 and this will be in KDE 4.5 :) .

Problem/Wish: There was no option for closing and saving multiple (selected) files in document list.

Solution: Changed the document list’s selection mode to QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection and added two options in list’s context-menu, Save Selected and  Close Selected , now user can select multiple  files in document list by Left-click + Ctrl combination and close them using Right-click + Close Selected or/and save them using Right-click + Save Selected options.

* for more details  here is the bug description.

This is how the new context menu of kate document list will look :
