[QScintilla] qscintilla QT designer plugin

[Rubi Mazaki]

Just to forward to the mailing list:

1. by opening QT4 I ment just that :) I re-opened the IDE
2. After not finding the QT4 designer plugin in the creator toolbox, I
checked around and found that in QT4 every item in the toolbox has a
corresponding .pluginspec file (for example the "text edit" item..)

>From what I understood from the help, QScintilla can be set up on a form
just be drag and dropping the QScintilla icon (which I didn't find ..) to
the form and setting up the parameters just like any other widget. If I was
wrong with that it may be nice to correct the help files. Is it possible
that QScintilla is only for use as a stub for edit box? I do not understand.
