[Qt-creator] Git interactive rebase

[David Schulz]

Hi,

If you want to open a file in an already created editor take a look at 
IEditor::open().

When an editor will be closed the EditorManager emits 
editorAboutToClose(Core::IEditor *).

For the highlighting of keywords you should take a look at 
SyntaxHighlighter and the derived classes.

Br,

David
