I really like Kate! Been my text editor for what 20 years now?

I feel kind of lame saying so, but I just use Kate for taking notes.

I only realised it was supposed to be for editing code when it gave me a debug error when I wrote something with parentheses (what do you mean there’s an error in line 43!? That sentence makes perfect sense!)

Why not directly use https://kdevelop.org/ instead? It’s basically Kate with all the dev plugins enabled by default.

Neat. I’ve been using kate as my standard text editor for years, mostly because of the session management and because you can give it a pretty minimalist interface with some configuration (something that similar editors like Geany tend to struggle with). I honestly didn’t know that there was a searchable tab list, I’ve been using alt+tab ctrl+tab (which already has a much better UI than many other editors) but that definitely gets unwieldy when you have a ton of tabs open (which is always … don’t even ask how many browser tabs I have).

This is great. This dude should write the Kate manual. I’ve always struggled to set it up the way I need.
