Hello KDE Developers,

I am writing to request the inclusion of Kate Quick Run into the KDE 
Applications ecosystem.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
================

Name:       Kate Quick Run
Repository: https://invent.kde.org/wyllian/kate-quickrun
License:    GPL-2.0-or-later
Maintainer: Prof. Wyllian Bezerra da Silva (wyllianbs at gmail.com)


WHAT IT DOES
============

Kate Quick Run is a native plugin for Kate (KDE Frameworks 6) that 
compiles and runs the current file with a single keyboard shortcut 
(Ctrl+F5) — no project, no Makefile, no configuration needed.

FEATURES:

• One-shortcut compilation and execution (Ctrl+F5)
• Multi-language support: C, C++, Python, Rust, Go, Java, JavaScript 
(Node),
   and user-defined
• Three execution modes:
   - Quick Run Terminal (dedicated dock widget)
   - Kate Terminal (embedded, via KParts)
   - External Terminal (any emulator)
• Smart focus handling
• Security-first design (no D-Bus for terminal control)
• Fully documented and translated (English + Brazilian Portuguese)


PROJECT STATUS
==============

✓ Complete and production-ready
✓ Tested on KDE Plasma 6, Kate 25.04, Qt6, KF6
✓ CI/CD configured (.kde-ci.yml)
✓ AppStream metadata included (metainfo.xml)
✓ Professional documentation (README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, 
CODE_OF_CONDUCT)
✓ 17 comprehensive screenshots
✓ Debian packaging ready
✓ AUR support (PKGBUILD)


GITHUB RELEASE
==============

v1.0 released: https://github.com/wyllianbs/kate-quickrun/releases/tag/v1.0


I am ready to address any questions or make any requested changes to 
meet KDE standards.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Prof. Wyllian Bezerra da Silva
