This chapter describes how you can set your individual preferences about how KDevelop works. All settings addressed below can be found by the according entry in the Options-menu.
As KDevelop supports the use of third-party programs within it's user interface, you are able to configure any program that suits your needs towards application development. This can be done by adding programs to the already pre-defined ones in the "Tools"-menu . To change the tools-menu, select "Tools " from the "Options" menu. This dialog allows to specify the entry name, program and additional command line options you want to pass to the execution. To remove a program from the menu, select the entry name and choose "Delete". To add a program, specify the menuentry, where a & is used as a menu-accelerator; you may compare the already configured entries with the entry list. Select the binary and pass your commandline options. Then hit "Add" and the entry is added to the list. After leaving the configuration dialog , the tools-menu updates itself, so the new configuration is already usable without restarting KDevelop.
