If I was using KDE or XFCE I would but I tend to be very happy with gedit (or, more frequently, vim). *shrugs* But thanks for the feature…I’d forgotten a bit about Kate (and most other things in /usr/bin that start with k ;-).)

Try krusader, the dual-pane file manager, and it’s built-in mdi editor. Works well for me.

I’ve recently abandoned GUI-based web editing apps on Linux because they all fall down in some way, though there is at least hope for the future with KompoZer and Amaya. For the last few weeks I’ve begun using Kate extensively because it’s just so nice to use and so intuitive, even if it’s not specifically an HTML editing-oriented program.

A couple of additional things I find very convenient: go to Settings -> Configure Kate -> Plugins and tick the File System Browser, which will install in your left pane. You can then right-click its tab on the edge of the screen, and ‘Make Persistent’, so you can have both the file system browser and document list sharing the pane.

The other thing I find nifty is the Kate widget you can install on KDE4, which you can drag to the panel as well as the desktop, and when clicked provides a pop-up of all your sessions for instant launch.

Along with Dolphin, Okular and Gwenview, it’s one of the shining examples of KDE4 software that is so well thought through. Credit to the developers.

Quanta Plus is a very full-featured web editor based in Kate. It offers the many advantages of Kate, while adding numerous web-development specific features.

Additionally, Kdevelop offers multi-language programming with Kate at its core. Again, many features, such as language reference materials, are added to the basic Kate framework to provide a more capable and efficient development environment.

A little bit misinformed, because you can open remote files directly from inside Kate, using the same protocols you listed. Just go to open file, and use the correct protocol (sftp, fish, ftp, smb, etc).

There are obviously a lot of better (or more suit choices). But the author tried to enphasize (i think) a general text editor that gets the job done. Not comparing with KDE3 Quanta, or bluefish, or kompozer, or many others full-featured web IDEs.

You might want to check out Bluefish for web development work, especially the 1.3.8 release. It has all the features you described for Kate, and many more specific for web development work. Check http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/

[...] Using Kate As a Web Editor There are many applications out there that provide project-based web development tools and very feature-rich interfaces, but sometimes all you really need is a good text editor. For those times, there are few editors that can stand up to the KDE powerhouse called Kate. [...]

OK, I apologize for not being more specific, but here is a screenshot of my Kate installation on Windows:

I hereby testify that the image is not doctored in any way. :-) To install Kate, you must use the full KDE installer (although you can select which applications to install).

According to the FAQ, Kate does not run on Windows. They do make mention that it might – might! – run under CygWin. They hope to make v4.0 available for Windows, but no time frame is mentioned. Oh, yeah … there is no readily discernible download link for Kate.
