Kate's a pretty good editor. I've made an attempt to replace vscode/vscodium with it once before.
The article is right about vscode turning into proprietary mush. I use vscodium and have run into issues with plugins that require cpptools, while cpptools complains whenever you, or an extension you're using, accesses it in an editor other than vscode.
- leo-notte 1y agohow was your experience with kate as a full vscode replacement? anything major you missed or had to work around?
- bobajeff 1y agoIt's been awhile but I remember there were things I was used to, some really nice things, that I didn't want to give up. I love vscode's markdown editing features. (pasting a link over text to create a hyperlink or dragging and dropping image files to embed images etc.) I think some of the keyboard shortcuts I was used to were different (duplicating lines, selecting all occurrences of a selected text). Behavior of word/token traversing(Ctrl + Left|Right Arrow) was different. There were some things kate couldn't do at all that I don't remember.
