/**
 * @short A KDE'ified QTextEdit
 *
 * This is just a little subclass of QTextEdit, implementing
 * some standard KDE features, like cursor auto-hiding, configurable
 * wheelscrolling (fast-scroll or zoom), spell checking and deleting of entire
 * words with Ctrl-Backspace or Ctrl-Delete.
 *
 * This text edit provides two ways of spell checking: background checking,
 * which will mark incorrectly spelled words red, and a spell check dialog,
 * which lets the user check and correct all incorrectly spelled words.
 *
 * Basic rule: whenever you want to use QTextEdit, use KTextEdit!
