I would like to try the dataengine that interfaces to KDEPIM contacts. So how do I:
Register the applet with it/for it? What datasource do I get? Obviously this is not a polled item and getDataSource should trigger the signal. What is in the hash--do I get the datasource for one contact and have this contact's data items in the hash or do I get datasource "contacts" and have all of them to search or can I do it both ways? ========== Is there or will/can there be a dataengine sitting on X-events such as keystrokes and mouse-events. This would obviously trigger quite often if one is using these devices. Keyboard and mouse event classes are altready defined in qt and would also carry the window handle that "owns" the event. For what would I use such an animal? LIve spell-checkers a la Kisa, instant translation, instant search to recoll/beagle, google, answers.com, etc.In an opensource rather than proprietary maner. There is a color-picker plasmoid and gimp and other apps take choose screen areas using the mouse. What I want to do is retrieve the word under/around the cursor with a key-shortcut and feed that to a search engine, translation engine etc. Plasmoid would bring up a windows with the results. A less convenient alternative UI is to drag text to the applet's icon which is trivial to implement. (Kisa simply sits on keystrokes, wherever they are as assembles words as typed.) _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
