+<title>About &kapp;</title>
+
+<para>
+&kapp; is a KDE-based source-editing environment for C and C-style languages. Primarily, it is a front-end to the veteran <ulink url="http://cscope.sourceforge.net">Cscope</ulink>, a source-code browser originally developed at Bell Labs. <application>Cscope</application> works by parsing a set of source files, creating a cross-reference database, and allowing the user to query this database. &kapp; extends the feature-set of <application>Cscope</application> with a contemporary user interface, editor integration, project management capabilities, multiple query result windows, call trees and graphs, and more.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+&kapp; implements (almost) all of <application>Cscope</application>'s query types. Among these are:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Browse for all references to a symbol;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Get the global definition of a symbol;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find all functions calling to or called by a function;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find a text string or an EGrep pattern;</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>and more.</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The main purpose of &kapp; is to provide developers with a rich environment for code editing and analysis. It is specifically geared towards large projects, with thousands of source files and millions of lines of code. Many traditional C/C++ IDEs do not scale well to handle projects of this magnitude, either because they do not provide adequate tools for understanding the code base, or because they are unable to efficiently digest that much information. By using <application>Cscope</application> as its underlying engine, &kapp; can easily handle projects such as the <ulink url="http://www.kernel.org">Linux kernel</ulink>, <ulink url="http://www.winehq.org">WINE</ulink>, <ulink url="http://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</ulink>, etc.
+</para>
+
+<note><para>
+It has been reported by some users that &kapp; can be successfully used for C++ development. Nonetheless, &kapp; is mainly a tool for developing in pure C (either ANSI or K&amp;R style). Most C++ features will not be recognised by the cross-reference generator.
+</para></note>
+
+<para>
+&kapp; is a part of an ongoing effort to expand the range of open source applications. It could not have been created without the previous work of many devoted developers. &kapp; is therefore freely distributed, along with its source code, for the benefit of the open source community. I hope it can be of use to others, and I would appreciate any help in the form of bug reports or improvement suggestions.

+<title>Bookmarks</title>
+
+<para>
+Bookmarks provide an easy way to navigate through a defined set of positions in the source code. Most editors support the concept of bookmarks as tags attached to lines in a source file. &kapp; can enhance the usablity of per-file markers by enabling users to access the bookmarks currently defined in all open files. &kapp; also saves and restores these bookmarks as part of its session-management services.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The <guilabel>Bookmarks</guilabel> dialogue is invoked by the <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Global Bookmarks</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command. Once open, it displays the set bookmarks among all currently-open files. This includes the file path, the source line and the line's text (similar to other source views available in &kapp;).

+<title>The Configuration Dialogue</title>
+
+<para>
+The configuration dialogue is the main tool for setting parameters required by &kapp;, or adjusting the user's preferences. The dialogue is displayed the first time &kapp; is run, and can be invoked later by using the <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure KScope...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The dialogue is composed of several pages, each of which handles a different set of parameters.

+<title>The Programmes Page</title>
+
+<para>
+&kapp; serves as a front-end to several console-based programmes: <application>Cscope</application>, <application>Ctags</application> and <application>Dot</application> (which is part of the <application>Graphviz</application> suite). Since &kapp; invokes these programmes directly, without using a shell, it cannot determine their paths. Therefore, it is required to inform &kapp; of the paths where the relevant executable files reside. Note that &kapp; needs the full path to each programme, along with the name of the executable.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Another parameter required by &kapp; is whether <application>Cscope</application> supports the <option>-v</option> command line option. This is a relatively new feature, added to <application>Cscope</application> in version 15.5. It allows &kapp; to display accurate progress information during time-consuming operations, such as building the cross-reference database, or running a long query. It is highly recommended that you upgrade <application>Cscope</application> to a version that supports the <option>-v</option> option, as the user experience of &kapp; is much improved with it. However, if you choose to use an older version of <application>Cscope</application>, make sure the check-box for using the <option>-v</option> option is cleared.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can determine whether your version of <application>Cscope</application> supports this option by running <userinput><option>cscope</option> <option>-h</option></userinput>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The easiest way to configure programme paths is by using the automated script provided with &kapp;. This script can be activated by clicking the <guibutton>Guess...</guibutton> button. Once invoked, the script looks for the required programmes (using the shell's <filename>which</filename> utility). The script also makes sure that the found executables adhere to the standards required by &kapp; (e.g., that <application>Ctags</application> is the one provided by <application>Exuberant-Ctags</application> and that <application>Dot</application> supports the <option>-Tplain</option> command-line option). &kapp; uses the results of the script to adjust the values in the dialogue's controls.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>The script will not override paths already set by the user. Instead, it will only verify the validity of these paths. For the script to determine paths automatically, the relevant text fields in the dialogue need to be cleared.</para>

+<title>Opening Files for Editing</title>
+
+<para>
+Files are usually opened for editing as part of a project. However, &kapp; enables the user to edit an occasional file that is not related to the project, through the <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Open...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command. Note, however, that query results on files outside a project are meaningless.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once a project has been opened, the list of all project files appears in the file list, to the right of the editing area. Each file entry in the list shows the file's type, its name, and its full path. Files are opened by either double-clicking their entry in the list, or by selecting the entry, and hitting the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. The edit-box above the list can be used to quickly search for a file. Typing in this box selects the first list entry whose file name begins with the entered text.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Files can also be opened through the file tree, which shares its location with the project's file list (using a tabbed-window.) The file tree displays all files in the system, starting with a specific root directory. A root directory for the file tree is set on a per-project basis by using the <guibutton>Set Root...</guibutton> button. The file tree also sports a <guibutton>Find File...</guibutton> button for launching the file search <application>Cscope</application> query.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+To decrease the loading time of projects, files and directories are only added to the tree when their parent directory is expanded. Therefore directories will not be marked as expandable by default, even if they are not empty.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+For each file opened, &kapp; creates a separate editor window, inside the editing area. Each editor is associated with a tab, displaying the name of the edited file. Thus &kapp; provides a convenient multi-editor environment. You can switch between open files by selecting their respective tabs, or by using the <guimenu>Window</guimenu> menu.

+<para>
+To work on a new file, the user first needs to create it using the <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command. This opens an empty editor, that is not associated with a file name or path. Upon saving the work in this new editor, &kapp; will prompt the user for a file name and directory. Note that this does not add the file to the project. The user still needs to invoke the <guilabel>Project Files</guilabel> dialogue and add the new file to an open project.

+In addition to being a front-end to <application>Cscope</application>, &kapp; also uses <application>Ctags</application> to display a list of symbols defined in the current file. Each editor window is added a list of these symbols to its left. This list displays the name of a symbol, its type (as a graphic shape), and the line where it is defined. Double-clicking a symbol, or selecting it and hitting the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key, sets the cursor to the beginning of this symbol's definition line. The list of symbols is refreshed whenever a file is saved.

+By default, tags are sorted by to their name in ascending order. Click on a column header to sort the tags according to that column. A triangle to the side of a column name indicates this is the sorting column, and shows the sorting order (ascending or descending.)

+<title>Symbol Completion</title>
+
+<para>
+Symbol completion is a convenient feature that enables the user to enter previously declared symbols with fewer key strokes. Since the cross-reference database keeps record of all globally declared symbols, it can be queried for a complete symbol name based on a given prefix.
+
+There are two types of symbol completion: manual and automatic. Manual symbol completion is always available, and can be invoked by the <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Complete Symbol</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command (or, more conveniently, by pressing <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Space</keycap></keycombo>). Once a completion request has been issued, &kapp; uses the characters immediately preceding the current cursor position as a prefix, and queries the database for possible completions. These completions are displayed in a list box, which can be browsed using the arrow keys. Pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> replaces the prefix with the selected symbol. The <keycap>Esc</keycap> key hides the list without completing the symbol.
+</para>
+
+<sect3 id="auto-symbol-completion">
+<title>Automatic Symbol Completion</title>
+
+<para>
+In addition to manual symbol completion, &kapp; can also provide automatic completion based on changes made by the user to the edited source code. Specifically, &kapp; tracks changes to the edited file, and if certain criteria are met, initiates a symbol completion query to the cross-reference database. Once a completion list is displayed, symbol completion behaves in the same way as in the manual case.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Automatic symbol completion is configured on a per-project basis. This feature is enabled or disabled via the <guilabel>Use Symbol Auto-Completion</guilabel> check-box in the <guilabel>New Project</guilabel> dialogue (this option can also be changed after a project has been created by invoking the <guilabel>Project Properties</guilabel> dialogue).
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+For performance reasons, it is highly recommended that automatic symbol completion will be used in conjunction with the inverted-index option.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+As mentioned above, &kapp; uses several parameters to decide whether automatic symbol completion should be initiated. These parameters can be configured by clicking on the <guibutton>Options...</guibutton> button in the <guilabel>New Project</guilabel> dialogue (or, later, in the <guilabel>Project Properties</guilabel> dialogue). Clicking this button invokes the <guilabel>Auto-Completion Properties</guilabel> dialogue.

+&kapp;'s main window is divided into three. The central area is dedicated to source editing, and holds a set of editor windows, one for each source file being viewed or edited. This area is greyed-out if no files are open for editing. The window to the right is the file browser, comprised of a list of project files, and a tree-like view of the file system. The project file list will only display files after a project has been created and source files have been added to it. The bottom area contains the query windows, which hold the results of <application>Cscope</application> queries, and the history pages that display locations in the source code visited by the user.

+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>
+In its capacity as a source code browser, &kapp; allows the user to quickly browse through different lines in the code base. We refer to a combination of a source file and a line number as a "position" in the project. While browsing the code, it is often required to go back to a position visited in the past, e.g., to return to the caller after visiting the callee. To achieve this task, &kapp; provides a sophisticated position history mechanism, which not only allows the user to go back and forth between visited locations, but also to save and restore snapshots of "tours" through the code, as well as other manipulations of the position history. For the sake of both consistency and ease of use, recorded position history is viewed and handled in a way similar to the query results system.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+In the context of this section, a "jump" is defined as the action taken by &kapp; after a query result record is selected for viewing (either by the user from a query page or a call-tree window, or automatically).
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+Position history records appear in pages incorporated into the Query Results window. These pages can be immediately distinguished from query results by their tab labels, which always read "History X" (where X is a unique number that identifies the page). Other than that the two types of pages look very much the same: a history page is composed of a list of records, each comprised of the following fields:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>File</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Line</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Text</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that the "Function" field is not provided for position history records.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A history page behaves like a stack: entries are always added at the top of the list, and represent the most recently visited positions. The user can then go backwards in time, by moving the lower records, or forward, by moving to upper records. If the current record in the list is not the top one, all records above it are removed before new records are added at the top (the future history is thus "forgotten").
+</para>
+
+<para>
+At any given moment, at most one history page is considered as "active". This is the page to which history position records are added as the user browses through the code, and to which position navigation commands apply. See <link linkend="pos-hist-multi">Using Multiple Histories</link> for a detailed description of the active page concept.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A newly created project contains no position history pages. An initial page is created and set as active automatically when the first jump is made to a location in the code.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Each jump may add up to two entries to the active history list:
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>The current position of the cursor (before the cursor jumps to the requested position), and</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>The new position of the cursor.</para></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+Duplicates never occur in the list. If the location of the cursor is the same as the location that appears at the top of the history list, only the new position of the cursor will be added.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2 id="pos-hist-nav">
+<title>Navigation</title>
+
+<para>
+The key feature of the position history mechanism is the ability to navigate through the recorded locations in the source code. There are two ways to navigate through a history list: moving back and forth through the list, and jumping directly to a specific position.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To go back to the last position visited, select the <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Previous Position</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item. This command selects the item immediately below the current one in the active history list (and moves the cursor to that position). Similarly, the menu command <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Next Position</guimenuitem></menuchoice> selects the position record immediately above the current one in the active history page, and moves the editing cursor to the appropriate location.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In addition to these commands, any position recorded in a history list can be accessed directly, by selecting the relevant item in the list (either by double-clicking the item, or by highlighting it and pressing the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. This action can be applied to any history list, and not just to the active one.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Selecting a history record from a non-active list will add the selected item to the top of the active list, similar to a jump from a query result page.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+</sect2>
+
+<sect2 id="pos-hist-multi">
+<title>Using Multiple Histories</title>
+
+<para>
+The position history is a dynamic object, which changes as the user navigates through the code. In some cases, however, it is convenient to create a snapshot of a tour through the code, and keep it for later reference. &kapp; provides this feature through the availability of multiple history pages.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As mentioned earlier, a history page is created automatically for a project when the first jump through the code is made. This page is considered as the active history page, which means that locations are added to this page, and that all navigational commands apply to the list contained in it.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The user can decide to freeze the contents of the history recorded by the current page. This is done by locking the page, in a way similar to locking query results (see <link linkend="query-window">The Query Window</link>). Once the page is locked, its contents remain the same, even if jumps are made to other locations in the code. To record any successive jumps, &kapp; creates a new history page, which becomes the active one. A locked history page can also be activated by unlocking it. However, there can only be one unlocked history page at any given time (the active one), which means that unlocking one history page locks the previously unlocked one.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Navigational commands (<menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Next Position</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu><guimenuitem>Previous Position</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) always apply to the active history page. This is usually the unlocked history page, but may also be a locked one. This happens after the active page is locked, and before a new page is created due to a jump in the code. Other locked pages can still be used by manually selecting location records from these pages. Such a selection will move the editing cursor to the appropriate location, and hence add an entry in the active history page.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As with query pages, locked history pages are saved when a project is closed, and restored when it is opened.

+<title>Working with Projects</title>
+
+<para>
+Before any significant work can be done with &kapp;, the user needs to define a project. A &kapp; project is a set of source files, which <application>Cscope</application> uses to create its cross-reference database. Unlike many other project-based environments, &kapp; is not intrusive: it only uses three files to define the project (with additional two files if the inverted index option is used). These files reside on a user-specified folder that does not have to be related to the location of the source files. Thus, &kapp; does not require any source files to be moved, and does not affect the structure of the source tree.
+</para>
+<para>
+The files used by a &kapp; project are:
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><filename>cscope.proj</filename></term>
+<listitem><para>The project's configuration file</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry>
+<term><filename>cscope.files</filename></term>

+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The only limitation imposed by &kapp; is that these files have to reside in the same directory, referred to as the project's directory. The project's directory has the same name as the project (which means that project names should conform to the file-system conventions), and can be placed by the user under any directory. Normally, a user will create a <filename>projects</filename> sub-directory under his or her home directory, and create all projects there. However, this is only a convention, and, as explained above, the user can choose any other method he or she prefers. Furthermore, the project's directory can later be moved to another parent directory, without any risk of data loss.

+<title>The Query System</title>
+
+<para>
+The most important task of &kapp; is to execute <application>Cscope</application> queries and display their results. Queries are always performed on the cross-reference database of the active project.
+</para>
+<para>
+&kapp; currently supports the following query types:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>Find all references to a symbol</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find a symbol's global definition</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find all functions called by a given function</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find all functions calling a given function</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find a text string</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find an EGrep pattern (regular expression)</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find a file's path by its name</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Find all files including a given file</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>Display a call-tree for a given function</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+A symbol, as referred to in the above list, may be a function, a global variable, a structure, a union or a type definition.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The cross-reference database may become obsolete when source files are modified, resulting in inaccurate (or simply wrong) query results. &kapp; has two ways for refreshing the database, manual and automatic. Manual database rebuilds are available through the <menuchoice><guimenu>Cscope</guimenu><guimenuitem>Rebuild Database</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu command. Selecting this command will instruct Cscope to immediately rebuild the cross-reference database.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Automatic database rebuilds are enabled per-project, an option controlled by the <guilabel>Project Properties</guilabel> dialogue. Since a database rebuild may be a time and resource-consuming operation, &kapp; does not invoke this procedure after every change to the source code. Instead, changes to the code initiate a timer (whose value is determined by the user in the <guilabel>Project Properties</guilabel> dialogue). Once this timer elapses, &kapp; instructs Cscope to rebuild the database. Code modifications that occur while the timer is running reset its value.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A project's database is also updated whenever that project is opened.
+</para>
+
+<sect2 id="query-run">
+<title>Running a Query</title>

+To start a query from the main menu, select the desired query type from the <guimenu>Cscope</guimenu> menu. This will display a dialogue box prompting you for the query's text. The text to enter depends upon the query's type.

+
+<para>
+Each menu item is associated with a keyboard shortcut. These shortcuts follow the convention of using the <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> key, together with the numeric query index used by <application>Cscope</application> (this should allow experienced <application>Cscope</application> users to get quickly acquainted with &kapp;). For example, use <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>1</keycap></keycombo> to look-up a symbol's definition. The call-tree is an exception to this convention (as it is not a native <application>Cscope</application> query). See the <link linkend="commands">Command Reference</link> for a complete listing of all menu and shortcut options.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+The EGrep query is invoked using <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>5</keycap></keycombo>, as <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>6</keycap></keycombo> is already used by &kate;.
+</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>
+The third way of starting a query is by right-clicking inside an editor window. This invokes the context-menu, that displays the same options as in the <guimenu>Cscope</guimenu> section of the main menu. Using a context-menu is easy when combined with a symbol selection in the editor: position the text cursor inside a symbol, and then right click to display the context-menu.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A query may take some time to complete, depending on its type and the size of the project. &kapp; displays a progress indicator during long queries. If <application>Cscope</application>'s <option>-v</option> command line option is used, this progress indication is accurate, and displays the percentage of files already searched in. In case this option was omitted (e.g., if working with a version of <application>Cscope</application> prior to 15.5), &kapp; will present a dummy progress bar, used simply to indicate that a query is running, and that &kapp; has not frozen. Please refer to the section <link linkend="configuration">Configuring &kapp;</link> for more information.

+<sect2 id="query-window">
+<title>The Query Results Window</title>
+
+<para>
+When a query has terminated, its output is displayed in the query window, at the bottom of &kapp;'s main window. This window can manage several result pages simultaneously, with each page holding the results of a different query. Each page is associated with a tab that displays a summary of the query that generated these results. This tab is used to bring the results page forward, and is also associated with several page operations through a close button and a context menu.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By default, query results are displayed in the currently active page, overriding any prior contents. To keep a results page unchanged, the page needs to be "locked". Locked query pages are never overridden. The contents of these pages are also saved when the project is closed, and are restored when the project is reopened. To lock a project, either click the <guibutton>Lock/Unlock Query</guibutton> toggle button to the right of the query window, or use the context menu (available by right-clicking the page's tab.) The same methods can also be used to unlock a query.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New query pages can also be created explicitly, by using either the <guibutton>New Query</guibutton> button to the right of the query window, or the context menu available by right-clicking the tab area of the query window.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Each entry in a query results page represents a symbol or text string that complies to the search criteria. The entry is composed of four sections:
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>The path of the file in which the symbol or string were found</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>The name of the function containing the symbol or text string</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>The line number in this file</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>The text of this line</para></listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By default, results are sorted according to the file name. This can be changed by clicking the column headers of the results list.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The entries in a query results page can be used as shortcuts to editing the line in which the symbol or text string were found (or lines in that vicinity.) This is done by either double-clicking a result entry, or by selecting this entry and hitting the <keycap>Enter</keycap> key. As a result, &kapp; will open an editor window displaying the file referred to in the selected entry, and set the cursor to the beginning of the appropriate line.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If a query results in a single entry, this entry is automatically selected for display.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The results of a query can be refreshed by clicking the <guibutton>Refresh Query</guibutton> button to the right of the query window, or by using the context menu. This command is useful to rerun queries after the database has changed (such as after a <guimenuitem>Rebuild Database</guimenuitem> command had been issued).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Query results pages can be closed by either clicking the icon on their tab, by clicking on the <guibutton>Close Query</guibutton> button to the right of the query window, by using the context menu (available by right-clicking the page's tab), or by selecting the <menuchoice><guimenu>Cscope</guimenu><guimenuitem>Close Query</guimenuitem></menuchoice> main-menu command.

+If the query window is not visible when a query is executed, it is temporarily displayed, and then re-hidden when the user selects an entry for viewing.

+
+<para>
+Tracing a sequence of calls in the code base is a common task in code analysis. To facilitate this task, &kapp; offers two mechanisms for visualising the relationships between different functions in a project: the Call-Tree and the Call-Graph. Both of these mechanisms are provided through the <guilabel>Call Graph Dialogue</guilabel> which can be invoked on a function name in a similar way to a regular <application>Cscope</application> query.
+</para>
+
+<sect3 id="call-tree">
+<title>Call Trees</title>
+
+<para>
+The Call-Tree has two modes, "Called Functions" and "Calling Functions". In the first case, the call chain starts with a root function, and goes on to display all the functions it references. The second mode shows all functions calling the root function. In both modes each function in the second level can be further expanded to show functions calling it (or functions it calls). This process can be further applied to functions in the third level, an so on.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Both modes use a standard tree widget to display the call chain. Expanding a function to the next level is performed by clicking the plus sign to the left of the function's name. Double-clicking a function (or selecting it and then hitting <keycap>Enter</keycap>) points the editor to the call's actual text. Right-clicking an entry provides a popup-menu with further options, similar to the query results menu (see <link linkend="result-options">Query Result Options</link>).

+<para>
+A Call-Tree often misses the true nature of a call sequence, since many such sequences contain loops, that is, functions calling back functions that precede them in the sequence. (Recursive calls provide a natural example for such a state of affairs.) A Call-Graph provides a more accurate description of the relationships between functions by depicting calls using a directed graph. Each node in the graph represents a function and each edge a function call. An edge is directed from the caller to the callee.

+When a Call-Graph is created, it only displays a single function. Right-clicking on this function opens a popup menu that allows the user to display or hide either the functions called by or calling to this one. This menu consists of the following entries:

+<title>Quick Start</title>
+
+<para>
+This section provides information for the impatient user who would like to start using &kapp; right away. While using &kapp; should be straight-forward for anyone who has ever used similar tools in the past, and is familiar with KDE applications, there are, nonetheless, some points that require attention. Even if you do not have the time or patience to browse through this entire manual, please make sure to read at least this section.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Configure Paths</title>
+
+<para>
+&kapp; needs to be informed of the absolute paths to several executables, including <application>Cscope</application>, <application>Ctags</application> and (optionally) <application>Dot</application>. These can be configured in the <guilabel>Programmes</guilabel> page of the main configuration dialogue. See <link linkend="config-dlg">The Configuration Dialogue</link> section for more information.
+<warning><para>&kapp; will not work properly if these paths are not configured correctly!</para></warning>

+<title>Create a Project</title>
+
+<para>
+While &kapp; can be used to edit individual files, most of its browsing, analysis and editing features will not be available outside of a project. A project is a set of source files for which &kapp; creates a cross-reference database, the key to most of &kapp;'s capabilities. See <link linkend="project-create">Creating a New Project</link> for detailed instructions.

+<sect2>
+<title>Populate the Project</title>
+
+<para>
+As mentioned above, a project is associated with a set of source files. These need to be added to the project, before any useful work can be done. Files can be added (or removed) using the <link linkend="project-files">Project Files</link> dialogue.

+<title>Browse and Edit Files</title>
+
+<para>
+Once a project has been defined, &kapp; is ready for use. You can now open files for viewing and editing, and use the query system for browsing and analysing the project's code base. See the rest of this manual for more information.
