yes, kate UI has some similar situation, beside work on the part, the app \
gets not that much polish, beside by anders, who does a great job here ;)

Kate does support splitting and so on, not thought interface, but hey, we \
could agree on some "app proxy" interface for this, like the \
browserextension or whatever

our lua stuff is in child age ;) guess many changes will happen there, and \
yes, some common subset of methods would be nice to agree on.

If trunk is kde4 branch once again, I will start on working that Kate \
supports KTextEditor parts native, and add the missing interfaces needed to \
get this first running, which we can adjust later to be more generic if \
needed.

Our both teams would benefit from this merge, Kate would get an additional \
editor style, which vim users like, and yzis would have a ui which ships \
per standard with any kde out there and which is already used by lots of \
people ;)
