Hi,

during the last 10 years, close to zero usable plugins did show up for KTextEditor.
The few existing that are useful, would be better merged into the part, instead of \
having the whole code around to load plugins, manage them, ...

For KF5, I would remove the KTextEditor plugin interface completely.

It was brought up, that this kills the possibility to have plugins shared between \
Kate / KDevelop.

Thats true, but the only solution for that would be: Have some basic plugin interface \
for the application like Kate has ATM (allowing not much more than querying the open \
documents/views and creating some toolviews) and sharing that between Kate & \
KDevelop.

Could some KDevelop devs look at the current interfaces of Kate application and tell, \
if we could find some common grounds here?

We could agree of some even more shrinked interface and then implement that in both \
kate and kdevelop and be happy. The applications would be responsible to load the \
plugins, like Kate / KDevelop do anyway atm, they would just need to extend their \
support to more generic "KTextEditor Application Plugins" or how we shall call it.

Greetings
Christoph
