Just wondering if you could advise on how to install "External Tools" into Kate on Ubuntu 18.04?

Sincerely,

Dan

Hi Chenxiong

Thank you for the email and please excuse late reply.

I see this plugin in kate/addons github repository [1], but I am not sure where to look for build instructions. Also - it doesn't seem as Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has anything like kdeaddons or similar package.

Could you please advise on how to install "External Tools" into Kate on Ubuntu 18.04?

Sincerely,

Dan

Hi Bohdan,

External Tools plugin has a predefined "JSON Format Full File". Maybe
you can have a try.
