Kate feature request

[nohan van der merwe]

To whom it may concern,

I'm making the switch from VSCode to Kate, and would like to request a
feature to facilitate REPL based workflows (Python, Julia).

Specifically, the ability to execute External Tool-like scripted commands
in the embedded terminal. This would enable running the current file in
Julia REPL via custom shortcuts.

I understand that the Terminal and External Tools are separate plugins.

I imagine the feature could be implemented by either interfacing these
plugins (perhaps adding the terminal as an output option in the External
Tools plugin), or by modifying the terminal 'run' command, similar to the
'prefix' functionality it currently uses.

Other features that would be nice include running code sections, perhaps
using 'silent' piping to the terminal? I'm not sure how VSCode implements
the same.

Nevertheless, Kate is quite nice so far, and I'm enjoying the switch.

Regards
Johan
