Bug 80453

I'd like to extend this one to a plea to support perl REs.  Although I understand kregexpeditor was built for qt's REs, the menu already offers emacs REs.  Building/testing perl REs too, with assertions and non-greedy matches, would be teriffic.

*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***

SVN commit 448854 by bram:

o GUI option created for greedy regexp matching (80453)
o Accellerator added to ASCII edit field.

FEATURE: 80453

Nick: You should have submitted a separate bug report for that. The original wish is fulfilled, but your wish isn't. If you submit a new bug report, we won't forget about it.

I'm running KDE 3.5.1 Level a, but this feature is still not implemented in kregexpeditor. When do we get the feature?

When I click on the help-button of kregexpeditor, the handbook opens and shows the following version:

Version 0.1 (2001-07-03)
