    \class QAction
    \brief The QAction class provides an abstract user interface
    action that can be inserted into widgets.

    \ingroup mainwindow-classes


    \omit
        * parent and widget are different
        * parent does not define context
    \endomit

    In applications many common commands can be invoked via menus,
    toolbar buttons, and keyboard shortcuts. Since the user expects
    each command to be performed in the same way, regardless of the
    user interface used, it is useful to represent each command as
    an \e action.

    Actions can be added to menus and toolbars, and will
    automatically keep them in sync. For example, in a word processor,
    if the user presses a Bold toolbar button, the Bold menu item
    will automatically be checked.

    Actions can be created as independent objects, but they may
    also be created during the construction of menus; the QMenu class
    contains convenience functions for creating actions suitable for
    use as menu items.

    A QAction may contain an icon, menu text, a shortcut, status text,
    "What's This?" text, and a tooltip. Most of these can be set in
    the constructor. They can also be set independently with
    setIcon(), setText(), setIconText(), setShortcut(),
    setStatusTip(), setWhatsThis(), and setToolTip(). For menu items,
    it is possible to set an individual font with setFont().

    Actions are added to widgets using QWidget::addAction() or
    QGraphicsWidget::addAction(). Note that an action must be added to a
    widget before it can be used; this is also true when the shortcut should
    be global (i.e., Qt::ApplicationShortcut as Qt::ShortcutContext).

    Once a QAction has been created it should be added to the relevant
    menu and toolbar, then connected to the slot which will perform
    the action. For example:

    \snippet examples/mainwindows/application/mainwindow.cpp 19
    \codeline
    \snippet examples/mainwindows/application/mainwindow.cpp 28
    \snippet examples/mainwindows/application/mainwindow.cpp 31

    We recommend that actions are created as children of the window
    they are used in. In most cases actions will be children of
    the application's main window.

    \sa QMenu, QToolBar, {Application Example}
*/

/*!
    \fn void QAction::trigger()

    This is a convenience slot that calls activate(Trigger).
*/

/*!
    \fn void QAction::hover()

    This is a convenience slot that calls activate(Hover).
*/

/*!
    \enum QAction::MenuRole

    This enum describes how an action should be moved into the application menu on Mac OS X.

    \value NoRole This action should not be put into the application menu
    \value TextHeuristicRole This action should be put in the application menu based on the action's text
           as described in the QMenuBar documentation.
    \value ApplicationSpecificRole This action should be put in the application menu with an application specific role
    \value AboutQtRole This action matches handles the "About Qt" menu item.
    \value AboutRole This action should be placed where the "About" menu item is in the application menu. The text of
           the menu item will be set to "About <application name>". The application name is fetched from the
           \c{Info.plist} file in the application's bundle (See \l{Deploying an Application on Mac OS X}).
    \value PreferencesRole This action should be placed where the  "Preferences..." menu item is in the application menu.
    \value QuitRole This action should be placed where the Quit menu item is in the application menu.

    Setting this value only has effect on items that are in the immediate menus
    of the menubar, not the submenus of those menus. For example, if you have
    File menu in your menubar and the File menu has a submenu, setting the
    MenuRole for the actions in that submenu have no effect. They will never be moved.
*/

/*! \since 4.6

    \enum QAction::SoftKeyRole

    This enum describes how an action should be placed in the softkey bar. Currently this enum only
    has an effect on the Symbian platform.

    \value NoSoftKey This action should not be used as a softkey
    \value PositiveSoftKey This action is used to describe a softkey with a positive or non-destructive
           role such as Ok, Select, or Options.
    \value NegativeSoftKey This action is used to describe a soft ey with a negative or destructive role
           role such as Cancel, Discard, or Close.
    \value SelectSoftKey This action is used to describe a role that selects a particular item or widget
           in the application.

    Actions with a softkey role defined are only visible in the softkey bar when the widget containing
    the action has focus. If no widget currently has focus, the softkey framework will traverse up the
    widget parent hierarchy looking for a widget containing softkey actions.
