           Summary: "Editing Command" feature is clueless
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: tnagy at eleve.emn.fr


Version:           gideon cvs kdevelop20030727 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 
OS:          Linux

I do not understand what the "editing command" dialog is supposed to do. There is no help button, the dialog caption is just "gideon", there is no tooltip or any indication of what this dialog is supposed to do.
 
I tried to type "hello", "ls", "*" ... Not even a simple error message ! All the command I have typed have disappeared in /dev/null - From a user point of view, I have felt it very frustrating. I just can't understand what this dialog wants to mean.

What's more, the "Clear button" on it looks completely useless, since after having typed the command the dialog dissappears, and the last command does not reappear after. It should have used at least the "cross" button like in the konqueror url line (KDE consistency).

I suggest to either redesign this dialog, or to remove it.
