One could write a Kate plugin that allows simple debugging based on Xdebug.
This is basically the same as the GDB plugin [1], just for Xdebug.

If you plan to add such a plugin, you are welcome to develop it inside the
Kate repository. We'd also be happy to answer any questions, or course :-)

Starting point for Kate development is http://kate-editor.org/get-it/
Following this page, you quickly get a working development version of Kate
and you can start hacking on Kate or add plugins. You can look at how
the gdb plugin works in order to set the current execution position etc.

Greetings,
Dominik
