If you need to work file based and not project or directory based then you should probably be using Kwrite, which literary is a stripped down version of Kate specifically for this purpose.
- binkHN 3y agoI absolutely love KWrite to do something in a pinch!
- calvinmorrison 3y agoWhich shows how far ahead KDE was even in 3.5 times with reusable embeddable components that were highly engineered. For example Konqueror has a long list of plugins including calling kwrite to render inside of it. The early kio tooling that predates fuse in having universal access through a single file viewer.
- doubled112 3y agoWas that what they called KParts? Terminal, file browser, text editor, more, all easy to embed and build an application around?
- jraph 3y agoYep. Still current I think.
- calvinmorrison 3y agoYes exactly! I forgot to mention dcop a message passing forerunner to dbus as well as arts the forerunner to pulsaudioe
- ecef9-8c0f-4374 3y agodcop was better. easy to use and accessible for non developer. I scripted so many dcop bash scripts. I never connected with dbus.
- zilti 3y agoAnd it is so frustrating to see how unknown and neglected KParts is
- account42 3y agoIn what way is it neglected? It works, no need for pointless churn. Also while it might not be known to users (why would it need to be), it is used in various KDE programs where it makes sense.
- eMPee584 3y agoAnd it seems konqueror is the only browser today that can split a tab into multiple panes! I used this a lot in 3.5 times. It still works, just need to file another bug report for sane dnd behavior..
- signaru 3y agoKHTML also led to WebKit then Blink.
