    FAQ

    "What is the relation to KHexEdit?"

    Okteta is an independent new project, with a completely different codebase and architecture, written from scratch, by a different author.

    KHexEdit is discontinued for the KDE 4 series, as it hasn't had a real maintainer and the port to KDE 4 was only incomplete. Okteta is first included in the 4.1 release of KDE. So in fact Okteta is the successor to KHexEdit for KDE 4.

    "Are very large files (up and larger than 1 GiB) supported?"

    Not yet, as it is still subject of discussion how partial loading and the related issues should be reflected in the UI.

    Currently a complete copy of the file is loaded into the working memory, so please be careful if the size of the file is close to the order of magnitude of the size of your working memory.

    "What about a diff tool?"

    A facility to view and work on differences between files and file versions is planned for later versions of Okteta.

    Other Info

    Structure definitions used by the Structures tool can be shared on https://store.kde.org/ (also used by the integrated sharing dialog in the Structures tool's configuration).

    There are a few tutorials </translate>

    Ready to write some cool howto's or content for UserBase? Don't worry, using MediaWiki is easy. But before you get started, please take a few moments to read these guidelines that will help everyone have a great UserBase experience.

    1. Take note of our license. All content that you put into KDE UserBase is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. This basically means that you are free to use content in UserBase, distribute it and modify it, provided that you follow the attribution indicated by the original author(s) and that you distribute the modified work under this same license.

    2. Respect content from outside sources. When you are using content from other websites, whether it be text, screenshots, or images, please make sure that you have their permission and that you acknowledge their work and probably link to their site. If you have doubts, the Community Working Group can assist in contacting the appropriate parties.

    3. Respect the work of others. Particularly if some previous content already exists. Try to follow the pattern if one exists, like in the Applications pages. If you need to make some major changes, please leave a note in the Discussion tab of the page before you make the changes and wait for a reply within a considerable timeframe. You can use the Discussion pages to talk with other contributors. A wiki is designed for collaborative editing, so feel free to talk with each other.

    4. Leave short but meaningful Summary when you save changes. This makes it a lot easier to see at a glance what was done. This is specially helpful for those who are monitoring the Recent changes. Of course, we presume that what you write in the Summary actually describes the changes that you did. We all work on the basis of trust and cooperation, so it's best to keep that in mind.

    5. Register and login. This is a mandatory requirement, as it makes it possible for the administrators to contact you if there is a problem, and also enables us to protect your pages against spamming and vandalism.

    6. Remember the purpose of UserBase. UserBase is not the correct place to make feature requests or bug reports for KDE software. We have a dedicated bug tracker for that and a BugSquad that helps take care of it (you might be interested in helping out, too). Your wishes or bugs will get heard better there. Be aware of putting in information or steps that apply to specific distributions only. Please put a note that the information applies to that particular distribution. When in doubt, it's best to note it anyway.

    7. Be consistent in style. A good template for a new article is PageLayout and code snippets to help you achieve it can be copied from Toolbox. Guidelines for most common tasks are available from Tasks and Tools.

    8. Last, but definitely not the least, please be guided by the Code of Conduct. The KDE community is built on a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, and trust. These values allow the community to work together in a pleasing and inspiring atmosphere. The Code expresses these values in concrete words. Be sure to give it a good read and keep it mind, whether contributing to UserBase or any area relating to the KDE community.

    We look forward to your help in building up KDE's knowledge base for users and we hope that you will enjoy the experience of being an active part in this international family, the KDE Community. </translate>

    Settings to improve the desktop experience for disabled persons


    Plasma contains accessibility settings for you in order to make your experience easier when using the computer.

    Information

    If you have desktop effects activated, you will find some options that may also be of interest in the Desktop Effects module of System Settings.


    Bell

    Accessibility Settings Bell
    Accessibility Settings Bell

    In the Bell tab you can customize the system bell. The visible bell settings allows you to change their preferences to having a visual notification on the screen. For example, if a document is being edited, and a sticky key is pressed, you can choose between having the document's interface window being color-inverted, or having the entire window screen of the document change to a custom user-selected color.

    The Duration slider allows you to select how long the active window will change color in milliseconds. A smaller amount of time will mean there will be a shorter pause in between visible bells, while a larger amount of time means that the visible pause will be longer.

    If you find these settings useful, you may also want to have a look at the Application and System Notifications module of System Settings.

    If you find it difficult to use the keyboard, the Modifier Keys and Keyboard Filters tabs have options that you may find helpful; and the Activation Gestures has options to use mouse gestures to activate sticky keys or slow keys, if you do not want to use these features all the time.


    Modifier Keys

    Accessibility settings modifier keys
    Accessibility settings modifier keys

    There are two panels here, the Sticky Keys and the Locking Keys panel. Sticky keys is a setting to make it easier to enter multiple key shortcuts. For instance, when one wants to capitalize a letter, the Shift key is pressed at the same time as the letter. Sticky Keys allow you to first press Shift, Control, or Alt, and then release it and press another key. This system will interpret it as those keys being simultaneously pressed.

    There are 3 Locking Keys on most keyboards. These keys are the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock keys. In the Modifier Keys tab, you can choose to have a system bell played if these are activated or deactivated.

    Keyboard filters

    Accessibility settings keyboard filters
    Accessibility settings keyboard filters

    Slow Keys

    Slow Keys allow confirmation that a key has been pressed and entered. The system bell is activated when the time allotted with the slider has passed. For a key to be accepted, it has to be held until the set amount of time. The system bell can be used to indicate when a key press has been made, accepted, rejected, or any combination of the three.

    Bounce Keys

    The bounce key setting is used to prevent multiple characters appearing in a document as a result of an immediate key press occurring after the first one. If you press a key again in less time that has been set with the slider, the second repeat character won't be made and a system bell might activate.

    Even simple settings like slowing the rate of keyboard repeat can be a great help

    Under Construction

    This is a new page, currently under construction!

    Greetings stranger! Welcome to the wonderful world of KDE. KDE is a worldwide project dedicated to bring the best software to you - for free. Read on and find out what we can offer you and what you can do for us.

    An International Community

    KDE is more than just software. It is a community made up of programmers, translators, contributors, artists, writers, distributors, and users from all over the world. Our international team is committed to creating the best free software for the desktop and mobile. And not only contributors, but users and fans of KDE software can be found throughout the entire globe, giving help to other users, spreading the news, or just simply enjoying the experience.</translate>

    <translate>==A New, Shiny Workspace==

    KDE started life as a desktop environment over 20 years ago. As activities have grown, KDE is now an international team that creates Free and Open Source Software.

    What this means in practice is that the many programs from the KDE community work together to give you the best possible computing experience. Does that mean you can't use a KDE application if you don't use the KDE desktop? Not at all. With the help of one or two extra libraries the applications can be used on almost any Linux desktop. What's more, increasingly that software runs on a variety of other platforms. You can now find many KDE applications running under Windows and Mac OS or other devices such as smartphones and tablets.

    There are a variety of programs to suit any user's needs, from simple yet powerful text editors, to rocking audio and video players, to the most sophisticated integrated development environment. Plus, KDE applications follow a consistent look and feel across the desktop, giving you a comfortable and familiar experience when using any KDE program.

    KDE software has several other features that makes it a top-class working environment, such as:

    • A beautiful and modern desktop
    • A flexible and configurable system, letting you customize applications without too much editing of text files
    • Network transparency allows you to easily access files on other networks and computers as if they were on your own computer
    • A software ecosystem of hundreds, even thousands, of programs
    • Availability in over 60 languages

    Tons of Free Software

    KDE software isn't just any software. It is Free Software. As a user, this is an important fact, even without getting deep into technical or legal considerations. Why? Because as free software, you are free to use KDE wherever you want and in whatever manner you want, no activation keys and no installation limits. And you're free to share it with others as well! So not only do you have in your hands great and powerful software, but you can also give your family and friends the opportunity to enjoy it, too.</translate>

    {{<translate> Info</translate>| <translate> Curious about Free Software? Read more about it on the Free Software Foundation's website.</translate>}}<translate>

    </translate>

    <translate> KDE is a huge community of people who create software. We all have in common that we're building upon an infrastructure we have developed over the years: the KDE Platform.

    • the Plasma workspace - the user interface element, customized for different devices such as PCs, notebooks, or mobile devices
    • the KDE Frameworks - most KDE applications are built with the help of a unified framework. Do you also want to write a killer app? The KDE Frameworks can help you with that!
    • KDE Applications - software programs that are written to utilize the platform

    Getting KDE Software

    If you are using Windows or Mac OS, a growing number of KDE apps such as Krita or Kdenlive are available for you to download and install. You'll find installers on their pages.

    As of right now, some KDE software is for various reasons only on Linux, a free operating system that you can try right now. The community produces KDE neon, a downloadable Ubuntu Linux-based operating system which includes the newest version of KDE.

    Helping KDE

    KDE can only exist because thousands of dedicated contributors from around the world have given their time. You can help too! There is a task for everybody, and we are looking forward to see how you are going to make KDE better.

    Information

    This page offers examples of formatting code for common tasks


    Add an Introductory Screenshot and Description

    Whenever possible we begin an application's top-level page with this. The code to achieve it is

    {|class="tablecenter vertical-centered"
    |[[Image:YourScreenshot.png|250px|thumb]]
    |Your descriptive text
    |}

    Format Your Text

    Use Headings

    Each heading goes on its own line starting and ending with two or more '=' characters. Once there are more than a handful of headings on a page they automatically create a Table of Contents, so use them. The number of '=' characters determines their level in the Table of Contents, thus your headings should be '==Main section name==', '===Subsection name===', '====Sub-subheading name here====', and so on. Avoid using single '=', as that denotes a page heading and every wiki page already has one made from its name; for example, this page's title "Claus chr/DPL/Test" appears as its page heading.

    Use bold and italic

    Blips are used to specify bold and italic words.

    Use '''bold text''' to specify bold text and ''italic text'' to specify italic text.

    In order to ensure we get easy and accurate translations, please adhere to the typographical guidelines.

    Add a Code Snippet

    We have templates to assist in correctly displaying code snippets. Examples of use in various situations are available on the typographical guideline page

    If you have problems displaying pipe characters in your code snippet, please see the explanation and markup detailed on Typographical Guidelines

    Add Indents

    ":" is used for an indent, and was used in multiples in some old pages. This is deprecated, and causes some problems, so the multiples will be removed as they are found. A single ":" indents by four characters.

    Format Dates

    Dates in a purely numerical format cause confusion, due to differences in expectations of geographical zones. Please format dates as

    18 Mar 2011

    with the month either spelled out completely or in abbreviated form, and the year in 4-digit format. The day may be single or double-digit.

    </translate><translate>

    Bulleted Lists

    * is the symbol to use for bulletted lists. ** gives a second level:

    * Almonds
    
    <!--T:22-->
    * Nuts
    ** Cashews
    
    <!--T:23-->
    * Raisins
    

    produces

    • Almonds
    • Nuts
      • Cashews
    • Raisins

    Enumerations

    Enumerations are produced in the same way, using '#'.

    # Sift
    # Mix
    ## Stir thoroughly
    # Bake
    

    produces

    1. Sift
    2. Mix
      1. Stir thoroughly
    3. Bake

    For more details see wikimedia on lists.

    Combining Bulleted Lists and Enumerations

    You can have an enumerated sublist in a bulleted list and vice versa, like this:

    * Nuts
    *# Cashew
    *# Crazy

    Note

    Enumerations should never have blank lines in them: it breaks the sequence and numbering starts at one again. Similarly, there should never be blank lines before a sublist item whether enumerated or bulleted: it creates two levels of item markings (bullets or numbers)


    Note

    Please remember, that long lists are a problem for translators. With single level bulleted lists, place each bullet in a section of its own, i.e. make a blank line between bullets. With two levels of bullets the subitems must be kept in the same section as their top level bullet; if you have to use subbullets, please keep the sublists short! With enumerations involved, you must keep everything in one unit. Please try to avoid enumerations, and if you find that you must use them try to keep them short.


    Workaround

    Though it is important to avoid blank lines in enumerations and nested lists it is still possible to split such lists in several translations units. This is highly recommended!


    To get each bullet and each sub bullet in its own translation unit you can enter something like this:

    * First bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** First sub bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** Another sub bullet<br /><br />This one consists of two paragraphs </translate >
    <translate >
    * The next main bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    ** And so on

    This displays like this:

    • First bullet</translate>

    <translate>

      • First sub bullet</translate>

    <translate>

      • Another sub bullet

        This one consists of two paragraphs</translate>

    <translate>

    • The next main bullet</translate>

    <translate>

      • And so on

    The same method should apply to the other kinds of lists.

    If on the other hand you need to have more sections in the same item, you can do something like this to have each section in a translation unit of its own:

    * First bullet </translate >
    <translate >
    * Second bullet, first section. </translate><br /><br /> <translate > Second section of the
    second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own </translate >
    <translate >
    * And so on

    This displays like this:

    • First bullet</translate>

    <translate>

    • Second bullet, first section.</translate>

      <translate>

    Second section of the second bullet. This section has a translation unit of its own</translate> <translate>

    • And so on

    Itemizations

    Itemizations are produced using ; and : alternatively. They are best for giving short descriptions for a group of related objects.

    ;Animals
    : They move around and devour other creatures.
    
    <!--T:46-->
    ;Plants
    : They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.
    

    produces

    Animals
    They move around and devour other creatures.
    Plants
    They have roots and feed upon ground water and sun.

    Note

    As always, please keep each item in a section of its own; it helps translators a lot.


    Add a Link

    There are three kinds of links to learn, internal ones, to another userbase page, internal links to a section of a userbase page, and external URL links.

    For an internal link the format [[PageLayout]], where you want to display the name of the page, does work, but it is not ideal, particularly for translation to docbook and for localisation. It is better to use the form [[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|Page Layout]], because that allows translators to link correctly even though the page name is localised. The result is that it directs to the correctly translated page, if one exists. You often need to include the link in a sentence, so in that case you would use

    [[Special:myLanguage/PageLayout|this page]]

    which displays

    this page

    Internal links to subsections of a page use character '#' (hash) and should look like this

    [[Special:myLanguage/Tasks_and_Tools#Working_with_Languages|...]]

    With this kind of link it is very important, that the page you link to declares the reference anchor. If the anchor contains space characters, replace them by character '_' (underscore) when calling the reference. If the reference is found, the section will be automatically displayed by your browser (if it manages anchors). If it is not the case, you will have to go down through the page to find the referenced section. External links are given as the URL and a text separated by a space and delimited by single square brackets as in

    [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE KDE's Wikipedia page]

    which gives KDE's Wikipedia page.

    Anchor declaration

    Anchor declaration must be done immediatly BEFORE the referenced section, and followed by a blank line separating the anchor and its headline. In the following example just copy in the ID value, the title of associated section. It should look like this:

    </translate><span id="Working with Languages"></span> <translate>

    If the page containing the section that you link to is not yet marked up for translation, you should omit the </translate > and <translate > tags.

    External links are slightly different so

    [http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules our road map]

    displays

    our road map, which would take you straight to the techbase page.

    One last thing to note - when you preview your page, all links are live. This gives you two benefits. You can check (by hovering) that your links are set up as you expected, and you can use a red link to create a new page.

    Make an application list

    If you want to make a list of applications like the ones in the subpages of Applications, you should use the AppItem template. Simply enter

    {|
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Locale|Preferences-desktop-locale.png|
    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc}}A short text.
    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.
    |-
    {{AppItem|System Settings/Shortcuts and Gestures|Preferences-desktop-keyboard.png|
    Shortcuts and Gestures}}Another short text. If you do not type <keycap>Enter</keycap> between the texts
    you get one section no matter how long the text is.
    |}

    This gives the following display:

    Settings for localized handling of numbers, dates, etc

    A short text.

    A few more short lines about the app. This is optional.

    Shortcuts and Gestures

    Another short text. If you do not type Enter between the texts you get one section no matter how long the text is.

    Note, that you should not prepend "Special:myLanguage" to the page name - the template takes care of that. Also note, that you must give a title, even if the title is the same as the page name.

    Footnotes

    Footnotes are rarely used in our pages, but if you need them you can place a <ref>text</ref> in the source where the footnote mark should appear. There has to be one <references /> somewhere in the source as well, usually towards the end of the page. This is where the text added by the <ref> tags will appear. For more info see the Wikipedia help page.

    Illustrate Your Text

    Add a single image, centered

    [[File:KMail-kde4.png|250px|center]]

    Note that you can change the position of the image, but the default is left. The size of the image depends on the circumstances, but for screenshots I recommend no less than 250px and no more than 500px.

    Also note that Image: and File: are synonyms. So that [[Image:KMail-kde4.png]] is the same as [[File:KMail-kde4.png]]. However Image: is deprecated, so prefer File: in new content.

    see mediawiki for more info.

    Make the Image Clickable and Add a Caption

    Where you need to show more detail, create a moderately sized image, clickable, so that the full-size can be seen. Simply add the parameter '|thumb' within the image parentheses.

    A caption can also be added as a parameter, but will only show if '|thumb' is present.

    Example:

    [[File:file_name.png|thumb|this will be the caption]]

    Add a caption without a thumbnail

    Captions also appear on images marked up with the frame syntax.

    Example:

    [[File:image.png|frame|left|this will be the caption]]
    

    Prevent text from flowing around image

    Sometimes you might not want the text to flow down the sides of your image. You can prevent this by adding a <br clear=all> tag between the file tag and the text in question.

    Example:

    [[File:image.png]]
    <br clear=all>
    This text would normally flow down the sides of the image but now it will be found under the image
    

    Use Tables to Precisely Place Multiple Images

    {|class="tablecenter" style="border: 1px solid grey;"
    |[[Image:Desktop-config-customized.png|230px|center]]||[[Image:Desktop-settings-rightclick.png|230px|center]]
    |-
    |[[Image:Desktop-theme-details-dialog.png|230px|center]]||[[Image:Plasma-multiple-themes.png|230px|center]]
    |}

    displays


    Note that all the parameters for one image are contained within [[...]], and cells are separated by '||'. To start a new line, insert '|-' on an otherwise-empty line, then '|' at the start of the next one.

    Embed a Video

    As of July 2012 the MediaWiki EmbedVideo extension has been installed on userbase.kde. This means you can embed videos from various video hosting sites into the page content and have them display in line.

    EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

    {{#ev:service|id}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
    {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
    {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}

    Where:

    service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
    id is the id of the video to include
    width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
    align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
    desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
    

    For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:

    {{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}

    And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, on the right with a short description, you could use:

    {{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}


    As of version 1.0, EmbedVideo supports embedding video content from the following services:

    Site Service Name
    Dailymotion dailymotion
    Div Share divshare
    Edutopia edutopia
    FunnyOrDie funnyordie
    Google Video googlevideo
    Interia interia or interiavideo
    Revver revver
    sevenload sevenload
    TeacherTube teachertube
    YouTube youtube and youtubehd
    Vimeo vimeo

    Add Notes and Warnings

    Important

    Indented boxes do not display correctly! Never put a colon in front of a box; it will make the box look very odd.


    Where a note or warning is relevant within your text, use these templates:

    {{Info|This is general information}} displays

    Information

    This is general information


    {{Note|Some important information at this point}} displays

    Note

    Some important information at this point


    {{Tip|A helpful piece of advice, something to remember}}displays

    Tip

    A helpful piece of advice, something to remember


    {{Warning|Take care - this is a dangerous thing to do}} displays

    Warning

    Take care - this is a dangerous thing to do


    Where the strongest possible warning is needed, the Remember box can be used, but please use sparingly. {{Remember|1=This is for things that definitely must not be forgotten}}

    Remember

    This is for things that definitely must not be forgotten


    You can also change the heading:

    Don't Forget This!

    You can use parameter number 2 to set an individual box heading:
    {{Remember|2=Don't Forget This!|1=You can use...}}


    Page Redirection

    You can make a page to redirect to another page automatically by using:

    #REDIRECT [[Pagename]]

    KDE3 and KDE SC 4 Versions of Applications

    By default, KDE SC 4 is assumed. If the KDE SC 4 version is not yet ready for release, or where only a KDE 3 version exists, it may be necessary to document the KDE3 version. In this case you should add the template {{KDE3}} which displays Should you be writing about a KDE3 version and KDE SC 4 version on the same page, use icons for both — {{KDE4}} which displays

    Other Useful Templates

    </translate><translate>

    Inserting GUI Icons

    The best way to refer to icons in the GUI is to display it in the text. This can be done with a template like this: {{Icon|list-add}}. This will display the icon.

    For this to work, the icon image must have been uploaded to the wiki. See Update an Image for an explanation on how to upload images. The .png files can usually be found here: usr/share/icons/oxygen. If possible use the 16x16 icon. The file name should have an Icon- prefix as in Icon-list-add.png — apart from the prefix the filename should exactly match the usual name. Note, that when using the template you should neither write the Icon- prefix nor the .png file type extension.

    The icon can also be written as {{Plus}}, and the icon as {{Minus}}. You can also use {{Configure}} to get the icon, and {{Exit}} gets you the icon.

    Community Applications

    The final consideration concerns those applications which are not distributed as core KDE applications. These need to be indicated by an icon, placing {{Community-app}}


     See footnote


    at the end of your sentence or line, just as you would to denote a footnote in general writing. You then need to add {{Community-app-footnote}} which will create a footnote, like this:



    Support for this application can be found from the project's home page


    Making Major Edits to Existing Pages

    If a page is likely to be open for editing for some time there is a danger of conflicts - someone else may edit at the same time, and saving your edit will cancel out theirs, or vice versa. The way to avoid that is to make a temporary entry, directly under the language bar, using {{Being_Edited}} which will display

    Currently Being Edited

    This page is currently being edited.
    If this notice persists for an unreasonable time, please either notify irc.freenode.org #kde-www or report on Claus chr's Talk page

    Note: Pages should not normally be marked for translation while they are being actively worked on


    Don't forget to remove it when you have finished!

    Adding a New Complex Page

    If you need to be able to work on a page for quite some time, over several days, for instance, you may like to use the Construction template - {{Construction}}, which displays

    Under Construction

    This is a new page, currently under construction!


    Links to Pages in the Neighbourhood

    You can add links to a preceding or a following page using the following templates as described here:

    {{Prevnext2|prevpage=Previous Pagename|nextpage=Following Pagename|prevtext=The page before this page|nexttext=This page you should read later|index=Index page|indextext=Back to Menu}}

    All six arguments are optional. For first pages with no preceeding page or last pages with no following page use this:

    {{Prevnext2|nextpage=Following Pagename|nexttext=This page you should read later}}
    {{Prevnext2|prevpage=Previous Pagename|prevtext=The page before this page}}

    If you don't specify an indexname the name of the current page will be displayed.

    Note

    You should always specify a text for the pages you link to, and you should always use Special:myLanguage with your links; otherwise you create problems for the translators.


    Links to bugs

    You can link directly to a bug in Bugzilla by using this template:

    {{Bug|123456}}

    Please do not forget to add the <s> and </s> to strike through a bug that is closed.

    Adding a List of Sub-Pages

    == Subpages of {{FULLPAGENAME}} ==
    {{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}

    is very useful when you want to list subpages with active links, such as

    Subpages of User:Claus chr/DPL/Test

    It does, however, also list all "other-language" pages, so use with discretion.




    </translate>

    This only finds new style links, and conversely find links to subpages as well. Better use the LinksTo template

    {{LinksTo|Applications}}
