In fact it is very short, but right to the heart of it. There is a _lot_ more 
you can do. Notice there is a script tab on the left of Quanta. If you manage 
scripts in the defined file area you can then select them from dropdown lists 
for the Project Event Actions. This means you can perform an Action (script 
with optional Kommander dialog) with just about any file or project related 
event, even a CVS event.

You will also note that you have extensive control over how the default 
Actions interact with the editor. For even more fun run kdcop and look at the 
information you can access and set within Quanta via the DCOP IPC. Note 
WindowManagerIf which we made for custom functions.

Then take a look at Kommander. http://kommander.kdewebdev.org Using Kommander 
you can quickly visually build dialogs that speak DCOP and integrate them 
with Quanta.

This is still only scratching the surface because all the tag dialogs you see 
in HTML are created with tagxml, Quanta's internal definition language which 
it also speaks. In short, you could radically transform and extend Quanta so 
that it would be barely recognizable and vastly more feature rich, all 
without a single line of C++. ;-)
