Kate has all the bells and whistles you could ever want and it will blow notepad++ away. As a matter of fact, I even corresponded with the npp developer and talked about the features from kate I would like to see in npp. It's that good. enjoy :p
Thanks. But I tried to find out how to move line up and down in Kate (like it's possible in notepad++, not via ctrl+x - ctrl+v). In notepad it's ctrl+up/ctrl+down. I didn't find. Can you tell me where it is? Maybe a plugin need to be installed, but I didn't manage to find it.
Hmm, I don't understand? Are you talking about a 'vertical' selection where you just select the first 15 or so characters of each row? If that is what you are talking about, you may have me there. When I think of 'line up', I think of 'indentation' and kate rocks as far as indentation goes. The only thing I had difficulty doing in kate was learning the search/replace tricks to be able to replace newline characters, etc. Other than that, I have had kate do just about everything you could think of making a text editor do. -- David C.

Ary (or whatever) I seems you're really concerned with having a key combo that moves one line of code up, and another key combo the moves a line down. (not left right, but up down). Right? I've done a lot of coding/editing and I can't say its a big deal for me, but editing is a very personal thing. In vi while that is not doable with the default keys, it can easily be setup as a macro to do the sequence: YkP (Yank line, move cursor up one, Put line) YjP (Yank line, move cursor down one, Put line) as an example. Assume I mapped YkP to cntrl-up Then if I wanted to move a line of text up 10 lines, I could just put the cursor at the start of the line and hit cntrl-up 10 times and the line of code I was sitting on would move up 10 lines. Is that the magic feature you want? If so, I'm not an editor expert, but I would have thought most semi-complex editors would allow custom mappings like that. Have you been looking for custom mapping capability to implement cntrl-up and cntrl-down?
