The Text Editors of KDE
One of the more overlooked, but very useful features of KDE is its text editors. In a full standard install of KDE there are 3 of them. Kate, Kedit, and Kwrite. Each has its advantages, disadvantages, and general uses. Let's look at each of these and what each one offers the end user in terms of features, usability, and functionality.
Kate is somewhat of the all in one "Swiss army knife" of basic text editors. It's got a little bit of everything for everyone that you'd need in a basic text editing interface. The next step up is to go directly to a full blown word processor. There really is a fascinating number of things you can do with Kate, not the least of which is to use it to do basic perl and php coding. A lot of people wouldn't ever consider using it for such a thing as that, mostly because they consider vi or some other editing interface to be superior to a graphical text editor. I used to think the same thing, but after a few days in Kedit, that all changed. But since we're focusing on Kate right now, we'll go over Kedit later in this overview. For now, let's look at what advantages Kate can offer you in a variety of areas, including coding.
