Kate Review: The Powerful KDE Text Editor

189
Kate is really the most complete GUI (Graphical User Interface) text editor I’ve ever tried. Some of the basic features it has (and practically any good text editor intended for programmers should have) are: good highlighting for various programming languages (it offers default highlighting definitions for an amazing number of source files, like Bash, Perl, C, Lisp, Python, and even Quake scripts are supported), the block selection mode, which allows you to select text based on columns instead of selecting whole lines, indentation which works good enough, export to HTML and even spell checker.
