Policies/Frameworks Coding Style

Note

This is a style guide for KDE Frameworks 5. If you write code that is not targeted at KF5, but only at KDE SC 4, refer to that style guide.

Indentation

• 4 spaces
• no tabs

Qt Includes

• For Qt #includes omit the module name and only use the class name. That way chances are good that future migrations of Qt classes between different modules do not need any adjustments in the code.

Example:

// wrong
#include <QtCore/QString>

// correct
#include <QString>

Note

This policy applies to KF5 and is the exact opposite of the preferred style for kdelibs in KDE SC 4.
