# Command Reference

The shortcut key combinations shown in this chapter are the default ones. They can be changed.

## The Menubar

Note that some menu entries only appear when they are applicable. Especially, some entries are linked to plugin functionality which is only available when the plugin is enabled.

### The File Menu

&Ctrl;N File New

  Create a new file. The user is prompted to select the directory (default: the current project's source directory) and enter a file name. The file type can be selected from a list. Also, the user can choose whether the file is to be added to the project. Then the Automake Manager asks which target to add the new file to.

&Ctrl;O File Open

  Open an existing file in a simple dialog box.

&Ctrl;O File Open Recent

  Displays a submenu showing the files recently opened. Selecting one of these will make KDevelop open that file.

&Alt;&Ctrl;O File Quick Open

  Presents a list of files in the current project's source directory. The user can select from this list or type a filename. That file is then opened.

&Ctrl;S File Save

  Saves the current file.

&Ctrl;S File Save As...

  Uses the Save As... dialog box to let you save a copy under a new name.

File Save All

  Saves all open files.

F5 File Reload

  Reloads current file to show changes made by different programs. (Note that such changes are normally detected automatically and the user is prompted whether the file is to be reloaded.) .

File Revert all

  Reverts all changes in opened files. Prompts to save changes so the reversion can be canceled for each modified file.

&Ctrl;P File Print...

  Print.

File Export

  Export

&Ctrl;F4 File Close

  Closes current file.

File Close All

  Closes all open files.

File Close All Others

  Closes all files except the current one. Very useful if you opened a lot of files and you want to concentrate on the current one. Without this, you would have to close them all and re-open the current one.

  Note there is a similar command in the Window menu.

&Ctrl;Q File Quit

  Close KDevelop.
