## Member Type Documentation

### typedef EditorManager::EditorFactoryList

### typedef EditorManager::ExternalEditorList

### enum EditorManager::OpenEditorFlag
flags EditorManager::OpenEditorFlags

The OpenEditorFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<OpenEditorFlag>. It stores an OR combination of OpenEditorFlag values.

### typedef EditorManager::WindowTitleHandler

Moves focus to "other" split, possibly creating a split if necessary. If there's no split and no other window, a side-by-side split is created. If the current window is split, focus is moved to the next split within this window, cycling. If the current window is not split, focus is moved to the next window.
