Kde text editor

Usage

kedit [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] file

Overview

KEdit is a text editor for the KDE Desktop. It is a small editor which can be used with Konqueror for text and configuration file browsing. KEdit also serves well for creating small plain text documents. It is not meant to be a programmers editor, in particular it is not meant to replace any of the more powerful editors such as Kate, XEmacs or Emacs.

KEdit's functionality will intentionally remain rather limited to ensure a reasonably fast start.
