TrisWHEN DID KATE GET SO GOOD!?
git integration, minimap, symbols, plugins, LSP!?!?
It's like a vscode had a baby with sublimetext - it's SO responsive, no electron here!
KDE/Plasma contributors, bravo! 🎉
Marie@0atman do you know if there are vim bindings?
@marie of course! Everything has vim bindings! Lol

alexanderadam@0atman do you have any recommendation on plugins and config? 👀
@alexanderadam it all worked out of the box! LSP and everything!
Probably it's not got the extension possibility of vscode, but it's very batteries included.
All graphically configured, jutst have a play!

lasizoillo@0atman I'm going to end zed editor configuration and then I'll give it a try.
@lasizoillo zed's good, no doubt. I didn't feel compelled to keep using it (probably because my standard ide isn't vscode, so "like vscode but faster" isn't a selling point for me?)
@0atman it's not a good selling point for me neither https://zed.dev/docs/vim
Anyway I sacrificed vim key bindings for jetbrains powerful years ago. I want to recover the vim fast and light experience without waste many time with lua or vimscript configurations. LSP maturity is my bigger concern, because don't matter how fast and light is your editor if it should wait to a slow memory hungry LSP (I suffered that many times trying to escape from jetbrains claws).
@lasizoillo oh absolutely, I can't be fussing with config, I use https://www.lazyvim.org with a one-line install 👌
Vincent Batts@0atman oh nice. And they have an AppImage download, so I can have the latest fancy even on debian/stable 😸

Joshua Barretto@0atman How's the file switcher? The lack of a good file switcher is the #1 thing preventing me from switching away from my current editor. If I have to move the mouse to quickly switch between the last ~5 buffers, that's a problem for me.
@jsbarretto looks like ctrl alt o is the default quick switcher hotkey? Works great!
I kinda trust the kate team to have built all these features tbh, very comprehensive editor!

Gabriel Adrian Samfira* me looking up if kate supports remote development over ssh. *
Julian Groß@0atman I noticed yesterday that if a log file has the ".log" file extension, Kate will color the lines depending on keywords such as "warning" and "error".
Never had so much fun reading log files.
