KEDIT(1)

NAME
kedit - TDE text editor

SYNOPSIS
kedit [Qt-options] [TDE-options] [options] file

DESCRIPTION
KEdit is a text editor for the Trinity 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.
