## Detailed Description

Character selection widget.

This widget allows the user to select a character of a specified font in a table

Character Selection Widget

You can specify the font whose characters should be displayed via setFont() or in the constructor. Using enableFontCombo() you can allow the user to choose the font from a combob-box. As only 256 characters are displayed at once in the table, using the spinbox on the top the user can choose starting from which character the table displays them. This spinbox also can be enabled or disabled using enableTableSpinBox().

KCharSelect supports keyboard and mouse navigation. Click+Move always selects the character below the mouse cursor. Using the arrow keys moves the focus mark around and pressing RETURN or SPACE selects the cell which contains the focus mark.

To get the current selected character, use the chr() method. You can set the character which should be displayed with setChar() and the table number which should be displayed with setTableNum().
