Leaving Neovim for Zed

A lot of editors are being discussed here but I see nobody has mentioned Kate (KDE’s Advanced Text Editor) [1] in the conversation yet, so I’m doing it. Kate is a very mature and capable editor. It natively supports LSP and has much, much more to offer in terms of project management, support for build system, SQL database integration, and of course, advanced editing features. I started using it a few years back…

Multiple Notepad++ Flaws Let Attackers Execute Arbitrary Code

Maybe there are power features or something which makes Notepad++ better, but for my usage Kate (https://kate-editor.org/) fits the same niche. Fast startup / UI, but it has enough features to technically be an IDE (including an LSP apparently).

In you opinion is it better to code the arduino in the arduino language or c++, and do you prefer the arduino IDE or vs code IDE

The Arduino IDE is quite primitive though, and poorly suited for larger or complex projects – if it starts getting in my way I’ll feed my project to kate and a makefile.

“Why people pirate Microsoft Word” and the problems with everyday software like Microsoft Office being ridiculously expensive.

Kate – a very powerful, very fearure-rich (including language server support for IDE-quality code completion and analysis and error checking for most mainstream languages) alternative to VS Code (has a very similar layout, git integration, and command pallette) that’s much faster and lighter and isn’t from Microsoft (it’s FLOSS).

Making a text editor with Godot. (And learning some stuff about it.)

I’m sure that creating a basic text editor won’t be too hard using Godot considering that all the features you would want are already part of the engine and on display in the Godot editor itself. However if all you’re looking for is an open source text editor that supports Russian, why not something like Gedit, Kate, OpenOffice Writer? Taking a second to search online, it seems like this open source program named…

The pros and cons of building packages from source as SOP.

Note that USE flags only control optional dependencies and do not affect hard requirements – you can set -qt -kde all you like, but if you install kate then it’s gonna pull in Qt and KDE despite your flags.

If you absolutely don’t want something on your system, use package.mask – and if something depends on it, portage will throw an error about it, and occasionally suggest disabling a USE flag to get a mergeable…

Kate on Windows doesn’t gain focus when a new file is opened

I am forced to use Windows but still wanted to use my favorite text editor, so I installed the latest build of Kate for Windows from https://kate-editor.org/.
The issue is, when I open a new document, Kate doesn’t gain focus, i.e. The window remains minimized or in the background. That makes opening files a bit tedious.

Feature request: make importing blueprints from string ignore newlines, and when exporting blueprints to string, add a newline every 500 characters so I don’t get text editor or OS crashes when I try to import a speedrun base

I use kate fwiw, and it might stutter a little with large files but I’ve never had it take down my system.

Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture

Even if you disregard all of the terminal based editors (micro, Kakoune, neovim, Helix) there’s Kate which is already awesome and constantly getting great updates. There are also many promising projects like Lapce and CudaText (but they are admittedly not great yet).

Good Bye ATOM

Another one is Kate. The text editor from the developers of KDE plasma. And since I’m using KDE, it works really great for me.(Its cross platform, supports Win, Mac, Linux) Its very customizable, offers many plugins, is very lightweight, has a lot of features. The only thing it lacks is support for third party plugins. But noticing the nature of KDE software, I think it will allow third party plugins soon as well.
