Present a list of possible execution speeds, consisting of: Full Speed, Slow, Slower, Slowest and Step-by-Step. When the execution speed is set to Full Speed (default) we can barely keep up with what is happening. Sometimes this behavior is wanted, but sometimes we want to keep track of the execution. In the latter case you want to set the execution speed to Slow, Slower or Slowest. When one of the slow modes is selected the current position of the executor will be shown in the editor. Step-by-Step will execute one command at a time.

This action opens the direction chooser dialog.

This displays the KDE version and other basic information.

This is a very useful function: it provides help on the code where the cursor in the editor is at. So, e.g., you have used the print command in your code, and you want to read and to know what the handbook says on this command. You just move your cursor so it is in the print command and you press F2. The handbook will then show all info on the print command.

This function can prove to be useful while learning TurtleScript.
