Kate is a powerful text editor that can open multiple files simultaneously.

With a built-in terminal, syntax highlighting, and tabbed sidebar, it performs as a lightweight but capable development environment. Kate's many tools, plugins, and scripts make it highly customizable.

Kate's features include:

* Multiple saved sessions, each with numerous files * Scriptable syntax highlighting, indentation, and code-folding * Configurable templates and text snippets * Symbol viewers for C, C++, and Python * XML completion and validation

This looks incredibly messy with a dark theme as parts of the UI are dark with black text (illegible) and other parts are completely in a white theme. A lot of the text is near-impossible to read and the UI looks incoherent and feels painful to the eyes.

The best test editor for programers is still Multi-Edit. There are DOS and Windows versions of ME only. Among Linux text editors Kate is the nearest to Multi-Edit but is far from being comparable to it. I wish the Kate people to lower the difference.

Приводит к некорректной работе системы, из за открытия больших докуметнов. В некоторых случаях при открытии SH-файлов может и вовсе убить систему!

Leafpad & Nano can be thrown in the trash; Kate works great on Mint 18. It should suit most needs from editing code to note taking and whatever.

Was using Text Editor before, not touching it. The fact that I can SAVE the session and do more specific editing with this program and manage files easier, just perfect. I am a writer, I use Libre for writing, a text editor for the couple note files. So yeah, great application!!!

Great editor. For those having problems trying to save, write this command in terminal : sudo-apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
