Thanks for providing such a great tool!</div><div><br></div><div>I have a few requests/questions about Kate:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1) Would it be possible to put out a pre-built Linux version of Kate that's more recent than <span>Kate 16.08.0-KF5.27? I've asked our sysadmin to build a later version than 16.08.0, but he said that:</span></div><div><br></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">"The latest version of Kate requires a KDE 5 subsystem that doesn’t come by default from the RHEL 6 distro that we currently have."</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">I ask for this because I've seen several segmentation faults occur when running Kate 16.08.0. One of these events occurs (I think) when I have several sessions and I'm switching between Kate sessions. I'm hoping that a later version of Kate resolves this issue. Since Kate 16.08.0 is from 2016, there are probably many improvements and bug fixes that have been added since then to rev 19.x.</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">2) It looks like awareness of Verilog filetypes isn't working for .vh files in later versions of Kate. (I'm attaching some screen snapshots to show this)</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">When I look at .vh files in Kate 3.10.2 (from 2005), I see highlighting of various Verilog keywords and constructs.</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">When I look at the same file in Kate 16.8.0, this highlighting doesn't appear. In this version, .vh files are classified as Hardware-Verilog files.</span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="color: rgb(32, 31, 30); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"><br></span></span></div><div>3) The display of file tabs in Kate is a bit unwieldy. I don't see any way to remove a file from a single view without removing the file from the Kate session (every view). I don't see a way to move a file tab from one view to another view.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><font size="2">4) I'd like to see support for the e programming language (IEEE 1647-2016) added to the list of parsed files for Kate. I think this would be a MIME type, like text/x-verilog-src, as shown in the Configure Kate menu. I can't find a file called "x-verilog-src" in the Kate installed files, but maybe this is a protocol callout for MIME that's internally resolved somewhere else. If you could point me to a syntax file that's used for Verilog (or C or Perl or SV) I could give a go at trying to come up with something.</font></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Gavin Bowlby</div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
