From kwrite-devel Mon May 26 09:44:26 2008 From: "Maki Jaderborg" Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 09:44:26 +0000 To: kwrite-devel Subject: Kate feedback Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kwrite-devel&m=121195097100467 MIME-Version: 1 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="--===============0539314151==" --===============0539314151== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_Part_14235_6712377.1211795066275" ------=_Part_14235_6712377.1211795066275 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline As a Kate user in KDE 3.x under Kubuntu since Kubuntu 6.10, I have always felt it weird that there are several highlight options but no option to actually highlight text and save the new highlight scheme. Even the option to highlight text outside the existing highlight rules (which I haven't found yet, so if it exists, please don't bludgeon me for being stupid. o.O) would be a nice addition to the program. Allowing such a new highlighting setup to be saved, which I'm sure would give some coders some headaches but would probably keep many new and existing users from getting headaches trying to weed through the dtd files trying to work out how to set up a proper highlighting file for their particular coding situation, would be a great improvement and would, for example, allow me to input highlighting rules for Second Life's LSL codebase and other such as-of-yet unsupported highlighting rules, which could then be exported to the Kate development team or some other place for distribution to other Kate users. It's just a thought. Overall I'm very very happy with Kate and prefer it over just about any other text editor, including windoze's notepad, write, office as well as OpenOffice and other such text editors. It doesn't add line after line of useless data concerning the formatting of text such as the (open)office programs do, and the indentation works perfect 99.9% of the time, allowing me to write database entries and other such in simple .txt formatting. Quite a nice thing for an 80's kid having grown up with Commodores and DOS. ;) I don't need all that fancy stuff the office programs throw at me with their .rtf and .doc and whatever files I get thrown in my face on the 'net lately. So yeah. Kate for the win! A thousand internets to its makers! And more totally unrelated related *chan speech. ;) Keep up the good work, guys/girls/*gendereds! Love, *Maki* ------=_Part_14235_6712377.1211795066275 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline As a Kate user in KDE 3.x under Kubuntu since Kubuntu 6.10, I have always felt it weird that there are several highlight options but no option to actually highlight text and save the new highlight scheme.
