# CommandInterface Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.ktexteditor import *`

Namespace: KTextEditor

## Detailed Description

Command extension interface for the Editor.

Introduction

The CommandInterface extends the Editor to support command line commands. An application or a Plugin can register new commands by using registerCommand(). To unregister a command call unregisterCommand(). To check, whether a command with a given name exists use queryCommand().

Accessing the CommandInterface

The CommandInterface is supposed to be an extension interface for the Editor, i.e. the Editor inherits the interface provided that the used KTextEditor library implements the interface. Use qobject_cast to access the interface:

     // editor is of type KTextEditor.Editor*
     KTextEditor.CommandInterface *iface =
         qobject_cast<KTextEditor.CommandInterface*>( editor );

     if( iface ) {
         // the implementation supports the interface
         // do stuff
     }
