I have been using KDE via Kubuntu for about 2 years now, other distros with Gnome before that. Based upon the name (KDE Advanced Text Editor, K.A.T.E.) I always thought of Kate as an alternative to Notepad++ or something like that. Like a highend note-taking app.

I recently started using Kate for managing my Docker-Compose yaml files on my homelab, using the Git functionality to sync to my repos and doing some web development. It's basically an alternative to VSCode or Codium.

Thanks to the devs who work on Kate . If you don't hear it enough we appreciate you!

TIL about Block Select!

Also Alt+click to add multiple cursors.

Indeed. It lets you do so much with that little feature. Not just select but edit also. My mind was blown. Made adding prefixes to each new line a piece of cake.
