Bug Description

The documentation for kmenuedit has some typos with regards to arguments that a shortcut can have. They have the % sign following the variable (which is a single character) as opposed to preceding it (checking entries in the editor shows that it's incorrect).

-----------SNIPPET-FROM-CHAPTER-2-------
Following the command, you can have several place holders which will be replaced with actual values when the program is run:
f% - a single file name
  F% - a list of files; use for applications that can open several local files at once
  u% - a single URL
  U% - a list of URLs
  d% - the folder of a file to open
  D% - a list of folders
  i% - the icon
  m% - the mini icon
  c% - the caption

For example: if you want to firefox to start your web browsing at www.kde.org - instead of firefox you would type firefox %u www.kde.org.
--------END-SNIPPET--------

Amusingly, the "single URL" argument is shown as u% in the table and %u in the example.

I've added this to my work in progress 3.5.2 packages, and to KDE SVN.

Since it's a KDE problem you may indeed get a more reliable response if you report it to the kde-docs team directly.
