Kate comes with a nice set of plugins, providing simple +and advanced features of all sorts.

+

You can enable/disable plugins to suit your needs in the configuration dialog, +choose Settings ->configure to launch that.

+ + + + +

You can swap the characters on each side of the cursor just by pressing +Ctrl+T

+ + + + +

You can export the current document as a HTML file, including +syntax highlighting.

+

Just choose File -> Export -> HTML...

+ + + + +

You can split the Kate editor as many times as you like and +in either direction. Each frame has its own status bar and +can display any open document.

+

Just choose
View -> Split [ Horizontal | Vertical ]

+ + + + +

You can drag the Tool views (File List and File Selector) +to any side that you want them in Kate, or stack them, or even tear them off the +main window.

+ + + + +

Kate has a built-in terminal emulator, just click on "Terminal" at +the bottom to show or hide it as you desire.

+ + + + +

Kate can highlight the current line with a +
different +background color.|

+

You can set the color in the Colors page of the configuration +dialog.

+ + + + +

You can open the currently edited file in any other application from within +Kate.

+

Choose File -> Open With for the list of programs +configured +for the document type. There is also an option Other... to +choose any application on your system.

+ + + + +

You can configure the editor to always display the line numbers and/or +bookmark panes when started from the View Defaults page of the +configuration dialog.

+ + + + +

You can download new or updated Syntax highlight definitions from +the Highlighting page in the configuration dialog.

+

Just click the Download... button on the Highlight Modes +tab (You have to be online, of course...).

+ + + + +

You can cycle through all open documents by pressing Alt+Left +or Alt+Right. The next/previous document will immediately be displayed +in the active frame.

+ + + + +

You can do cool sed-like regular expression replacements using Command Line.

+

For example, press F7 and enter s /oldtext/newtext/g +to replace "oldtext" with "newtext" throughout the current +line.

+ + + + +

You can repeat your last search by just pressing F3, or +Shift+F3 if you want to search backwards.

+ + + + +

You can filter the files displayed in the File Selector tool view. +

+

Simply enter your filter in the filter entry at the bottom, for example: +*.html *.php if you only want to see HTML and PHP files in the +current folder.

+

The File Selector will even remember your filters for you.

+ + + + +

You can have two views - or even more - of the same document in Kate. Editing +in either will be reflected in both.

+

So if you find yourself scrolling up and down to look at text at the other +end of a document, just press Ctrl+Shift+T to split +horizontally.

+ + + + +

Press F8 or Shift+F8 to switch to the +next/previous frame.
