The KDE Advanced Text Editor, or Kate, is a source code editor developed by the KDE free software community. It has been a part of KDE Software Compilation since version 2.2, which was first released in 2001. Intended for software developers, it features syntax highlighting, code folding, customizable layouts, multiple cursors and selections, regular expression support, and extensibility via plugins. The text editor's mascot is Kate the Cyber Woodpecker.

History

[edit]
"Kate the Cyber Woodpecker" is the current mascot of Kate editor, designed by Tyson Tan in 2021[7] and replacing the earlier version designed in 2014.[8]

Kate has been part of the KDE Software Compilation since release 2.2 in 2001.[9] Because of KParts technology, it is possible to embed Kate as an editing component in other KDE applications. Major KDE applications which use Kate as an editing component include the integrated development environment KDevelop, the web development environment Quanta Plus, and the LaTeX front-end Kile.[citation needed]

Kate has won the advanced text editor comparison in Linux Voice magazine.[10]

As of July 2014, development had started to port Kate, along with Dolphin, Konsole, KDE Telepathy, and Yakuake, to KDE Frameworks 5.[11]

In 2022, the KDE text-editor KWrite was modified to use the same code base as Kate with deactivated features.[12]

Features

[edit]

Kate is a source code editor that features syntax highlighting for over 300 file formats with code folding rules.[13][14] The syntax highlighting is extensible via XML files.[15] It supports UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1 and ASCII encoding schemes and can detect a file's character encoding automatically.[citation needed] Kate offers code completion and reference finding for various programming languages through its Language Server Protocol Client plugin. The default configuration supports C, C++, D, Fortran, Go, Latex, Python, Rust, and OCaml.[16]

Kate's main text editor widget is called KatePart, which is reusable under the terms of the LGPL version 2 license.[17] It must not be confused with the KParts, a KDE plugin framework for user interface components that Kate also uses.[18]

Kate can be used as a modal text editor through its vi input mode.[19]

Kate features multiple document interface, window splitting, project editing[20] and sessions to facilitate editing multiple documents. Using sessions, one can customize Kate for different projects by saving the list of open files, the list of enabled plug-ins and the window configuration.[21]

Kate includes the KDE terminal emulator Konsole through its Terminal Tool View plugin.[22] Since version 23.04, the terminal is also available on windows.[23]

The "quick open" feature allows searching opened files by name for quick recalling.[24] Line modification indicators highlight lines with unsaved changes and lines added in the current session.[25][26]

Being a KDE application, Kate transparently opens and saves files over all protocols supported by KIO libraries. This includes HTTP, FTP, SSH, SMB and WebDAV, among others.[citation needed]

As of September 2021, unlike Xed, Kate is equipped with a session manager which allows naming, saving, and restoring sessions, meaning a list of momentarily open file tabs. Saved sessions are stored as key-value-formatted *.katesession files into ~/.local/share/kate/sessions/.

Other features are a clipboard history with up to ten items, the ability to jump to a line number,[27] and source control integration using Git[28][29]

History

Origins and Early Development

The development of Kate originated in late 2000 when Christoph Cullmann proposed an advanced multi-document interface (MDI) version of the existing KWrite editor to its author, Jochen Wilhelmy, via email, aiming to overcome KWrite's single-document limitations while building on its text widget for syntax highlighting. With no initial response, Cullmann announced the project on the kde-devel mailing list in January 2001, seeking collaborators for an MDI text editor. This effort formalized in February 2001 with the creation of the [email protected] mailing list, where early discussions focused on design, coding styles, and enhancements, led by figures like Scott Manson and Waldo Bastian. The project began as a fork named KCEdit on SourceForge, later renamed Kant and then Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor), emphasizing MDI support and enhanced syntax highlighting to better serve developers within the KDE ecosystem. Kate's first release integrated into the 2.2 on August 15, 2001, marking its official debut as a core KDE application. During the 3.x era from 2002 to 2008, the editor underwent rapid iterations by KDE volunteers, incorporating features like for collapsing code blocks and session management for saving and restoring document sets, which improved usability for complex editing tasks. These updates moved the project to KDE's CVS repository in 2001, enabling collaborative development and alignment with KDE's evolving framework. Early development was driven by KDE community volunteers, including Anders Lund, Michael Bartl, and Joseph Wenninger, with Waldo Bastian facilitating integration into KDE's infrastructure. Christoph Cullmann, who initiated the project, emerged as the long-term maintainer around 2003, overseeing its growth amid KDE's expansion in the early . Kate arose during this period to offer users a graphical, feature-rich alternative to command-line editors like Vim and , tailored for the .

Key Milestones and Releases

UI scaling is adjustable via KDE Plasma's display settings, applying fractional scaling to Kate's interface for better usability on high-DPI screens. Session management ensures persistence across restarts by saving open files, window layouts, split views, and tool configurations under named sessions, accessible via the Sessions menu for quick restoration or switching between projects. This feature maintains user-defined arrangements, such as sidebar positions and document splits, automatically upon closing if configured, facilitating seamless resumption of work.

Development and Community

Technical Architecture

Kate is constructed primarily using the Qt framework for its graphical user interface, ensuring a responsive and native-looking experience across supported platforms. The core editing functionality relies on the library from Frameworks, which provides a robust text buffer, , and advanced editing primitives written predominantly in C++. This separation allows Kate to leverage KDE's ecosystem while maintaining a lightweight standalone application. The architecture emphasizes modularity through the KPart component system, enabling the editor to be embedded as a reusable part in other applications, such as the web browser, without duplicating code. At its foundation, Kate distinguishes between the user interface layer, the editor engine powered by KTextEditor, and extensible plugin components, promoting maintainability and flexibility. The KTextEditor handles text rendering and manipulation efficiently, supporting operations on files up to several gigabytes in size through optimized buffer management, though performance can degrade with extremely long single lines due to syntax highlighting overhead. Asynchronous processing is integrated for resource-intensive tasks, including multi-threaded searches across multiple files and communication with (LSP) servers for features like and diagnostics, preventing UI freezes during heavy computations. Cross-platform compatibility is facilitated by Qt's , which abstracts platform-specific details for rendering and input handling. On Windows, builds utilize as the compiler toolchain to produce native executables, with official installers available for seamless deployment. For extensibility, an internal JavaScript engine based on enables scripting for automation, such as defining custom commands or macros, integrated directly into the editor's action system. The KTextEditor component itself is licensed under LGPL, allowing its reuse in both open and proprietary software.

Plugins and Extensibility

Kate's plugin system enables users to extend its functionality dynamically, allowing plugins to be loaded and unloaded at runtime without restarting the application. Built on Frameworks and Qt, the system integrates plugins through a dedicated configuration interface accessible via Settings → Configure Kate... → Plugins, where users can enable, disable, or install new ones. Plugins are categorized broadly into areas such as editor enhancements (e.g., syntax and completion tools), user interface modifications (e.g., session ), and utility tools (e.g., build and aids), ensuring modular additions that do not alter the core editor. This framework supports over 20 bundled plugins in official releases, emphasizing lightweight extensions to maintain performance. A key component is the built-in Language Server Protocol (LSP) Client plugin, which provides advanced language-specific features like diagnostics, refactoring, code navigation, and autocompletion by interfacing with external LSP servers. It supports languages including C/C++, Python, , Go, , , and out of the box, with extensibility to others such as , , and through user configuration of server paths. The plugin integrates seamlessly for features like inlay hints and reference finding, enhancing Kate's suitability for programming without requiring separate IDEs. Notable bundled plugins include the SQL execution tool, which allows creating databases, connecting to existing ones, and running queries directly within the editor; the Snippets manager, enabling reusable code or text templates for rapid insertion via triggers; the Build plugin for compiling projects; and the GDB integration for sessions. Community-contributed plugins, such as a previewer that displays rendered views in the sidebar for .md files, extend these capabilities further and are available through the store. While Kate includes robust built-in regex support for search and replace, advanced regex tools can be augmented via custom plugins. Plugins are primarily bundled with Kate releases and installed via system packages, but additional ones can be obtained directly in the application using the "Get New Plugins" option, which leverages KNewStuff for downloading from the KDE store. For custom development, the API primarily uses C++ with Qt and KDE Frameworks, as detailed in official tutorials for creating plugins like sidebars or actions; Python support is available through a dedicated plugin framework for scripting and simpler extensions, though it requires enabling the Python Plugin manager. This approach keeps the core lightweight while allowing targeted enhancements.
