I guess I'm at least partly to blame for this discussion. I happen to 
like Kate, as I'm familiar with it, and not with Notepad++, but in my 
original post, I mentioned
specifically something you can't get on Windows, AFAIK, even if you pay 
for it: KSnapshot. A single app that lets you save a piece of the screen 
and print it
all from the same app, without having to open another app and paste and 
then print. But it doesn't work. It would be nice if you folks would fix 
it.  There's something
fundamentally dumb about the snipping Tool!
