Screenshot of the checksum toolview.

The 'Calculate' button is always greyed-out, regardless of whether a file is open or selected in the file tree. I can't find any relevant entry in context-menus or the main window ones.

Have I missed something? If so, this seems extremely unintuitive, otherwise it just doesn't work.

Using latest 5.2-git compiled locally on Arch.

This is provided by the Okteta plugin. I haven't found any way to use it even on binary files, though.

As explained by frinring:

It applies to the file currently active in the editor.

This only works when some bytes are selected in the Okteta KPart. It doesn't default to the entire file; nor does it work for files opened with ktexteditor or any other viewer/editor KPart.

It would be nice if it could work in other contexts; otherwise it should be much clearer when and how it can be used.
