Add actions from QTextEdit to Edit Menu

[ChajusSaib]

Hello lads, so I need a way to add the context menu actions from QTextEdit to the Edit menu. I could re-implement these but there would be no point as their behaviour is exactly what I would like. Here is the context menu I am talking about

Another question is how do I add text beside this tick that shows and hides the Toolbar menu.

Thank you

Hi,

if you want to extent the context menu you can follow the guideline provided here.

About the second question I think (sorry I'm on Mac and the menus are integrated in the system one) you should set the Menu objectName

Hi,

Nothing forbids you to have several actions calling the same slot.

How do you create that tick enabled menu ?

The first issue is solved just by adding more slots and connecting them to the QTextEdit ones except Delete as it seems there is no slot for that. How would I implement the Delete action?

I would like to correct my self, the menu with the tick hides and shows the Toolbar and not the Menu. I did not create this menu. Setting the objectName does not add text beside the tick.

Thank ye both for your help, appreciate it!

You have to set the Toolbar windowTitle

@mcosta I feel so stupid now (facepalm). Thank you

Anyone got an idea for implementing the Delete action? Thanks

[mcosta]

Delete --> clear() ??

You could use the QTextCursor API

@mcosta No delete only deletes/clears the selection, it does not remove everything. I will take a look at the QTextCursor API. Thank you once again mate!

[mcosta]

Hi,

I think QTextCursor::removeSelectedText() is what you're looking for

void MyEditor::slotDelete()
{
    m_textEdit->textCursor().removeSelectedText();
}

should do the job

@mcosta You legend, thank you!
