Kate really combines all the good KDE features, in particular its usage of Kparts is excellent. You get complete shell integration, tabs, snippets, loads of plugins, split-views, highlighting etc.
The most feature complete editor after emacs, probably.
- nfm 15y ago"The most feature complete editor after emacs, probably." That's a pretty bold claim, particularly given the subset of features you listed!
- alexis-d 15y agoAre you kidding? Vim has all the features you listed and many more...
- FlowerPower 15y agoIf you install and configure 2000 plugins. Might as well make your own editor.
- alecbenzer 15y agoyes, clearly installing plugins is only barely easier than writing them yourself. plugins let vim users pick and choose what they want from their editor. I'm not bashing kate; it's just a different way of doing it. (vim user myself, though I used to be a big fan of kate)
- rplnt 15y agoI love the variable coloring. Been using Kate for one C project (inside the KDevelop) and had no problems with it.
- kunley 15y agoDoes it have buffers (as opposite to files) abstraction, ie. can you open the same file in different windows and work on different parts of it?
- cpuddle 15y agoYes you can. I've done it myself many times.
- Steve_Baker 15y agoYes, you just split the current view (vertically or horizontally) or open a new window. Any change to a file will be immediately updated in the other views/windows.
