Kate Editor is Getting Four New Awesome Features
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
KDE's feature-packed text editor is getting better and more useful!
|
|
|
|
![Kate Editor is Getting Four New Awesome Features][1]
|
|
|
|
[Kate Editor][2] is a constantly evolving and powerful open-source text editor that acts as a viable alternative to Microsoft's proprietary Visual Studio Code application.
|
|
|
|
It is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
|
|
|
|
The code editor received a significant upgrade in 2021 potentially making it KDE's answer to Microsoft's offering.
|
|
|
|
With the upcoming Kate and KWrite 22.12 release, they aim to add a number of much-needed features.
|
|
|
|
Let's take a brief look at what we can expect from Kate.
|
|
|
|
### 🆕 Kate Editor: New Feature Additions
|
|
|
|
If you have been reading [Nate's blog][3] for KDE improvements, you probably know all about the upgrades coming to KDE Plasma and the applications.
|
|
|
|
However, some exciting additions are coming to Kate 22.12 that I wanted to highlight:
|
|
|
|
- **Support for Qt Widgets**
|
|
- **Updated Welcome Page**
|
|
- **Git Diff Viewer**
|
|
- **Configuration Tab**
|
|
- **Clipboard History**
|
|
|
|
#### Welcome Page
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
Like many other [KDE apps][5], Kate will now show a welcome page that will greet users with a welcome screen and include options like creating or opening a file, starting a new session, viewing recent documents, and more.
|
|
|
|
For users who might not like this, an option will be provided on the welcome page to disable this behavior for a new window.
|
|
|
|
#### Git Diff Viewer
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Kate will finally get support for viewing git-diff; users will be able to compare their code to check for differences and find those pesky bugs that are causing their application not to run correctly.
|
|
|
|
Users will also be able to choose from a variety of views, such as unified, side-by-side, and raw.
|
|
|
|
#### New Clipboard History Paste Dialog
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
A new dialog has been added to Kate, showing users a list of previous clipboard content while pasting.
|
|
|
|
This can be helpful if you are juggling between multiple lines of code and don't want to lose track of the essential bits.
|
|
|
|
#### Configuration Tab
|
|
|
|

|
|
Kate will also feature a configuration tab that lets users change significant settings and a search bar to quickly find specific settings.
|
|
|
|
#### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
|
|
|
|
Some other notable improvements to be featured on Kate 22.12 are:
|
|
|
|
- **Optimized Status Bar**
|
|
- **Improvements to the Build Plugin**
|
|
- **Moveable Sidebar Buttons**
|
|
- **Improvements to Window Handling**
|
|
|
|
Kate is shaping to be a suitable alternative to Microsoft's [Visual Studio Code][9] and has come a long way since its major revamp in 2021.
|
|
|
|
In Kate's [official blog post][10], you can learn more about these changes and watch them in action.
