I like Kwrite because of the syntax highlighting and I use it for programming and latex. However for the latex application I miss an in-line spell check. The current word-for-word spelling check feels like something from the stone-age.

I wonder whether it would be possible to move to the beginning or end of a sentence while editing a text, similarly to what Meta-A/Meta-E does in Emacs.

I love KWrite. I just can't express myself enough. It has a simple interface, its lite and its just cool.

RND

this is my text editor of choice.

doxygen highlighting is too much! is there any way I can disable it? (short of editing the kpart xml files?).

I don't know if the word "genial" exists in english but i hope everybody will understand it. if ($genial == "") { $genial = "great"; } ?? sorry, i'm just a 13 years old austrian people and my english teacher doesn't speak english! :(

Hi, is it possible to select a COLUMN anywhere in the text ? If yes how to do this. If no,this kind of feature would be very usefull.

try ctr+shift+b to swith to block selection mode ctr+shift+b again will leave the block selection mode (and therefore the block selections)

jpcohen

GREAT ! Thanks you.

With this column selection, is it possible to do a block fill? Say you have a block selected and instead of just deleting the contents of this block, you can replace the data in the block or even create a new block and add data to that block? as in: $test array('one', 'two', 'three'); change to: $test array('1' => 'one', '2' => 'two', '3' => 'three'); it would be nice to add the '1' => line as a block fill. wondering if this functionality exists in any editor for kde.. kate, kedit, kwrite, quanta don't care which just would love the functionality. tia

I have a feature request: Would it be possible to add GnuPG encryption (perhaps as a plugin)? It would be great if I could open an encrypted text file, edit it, then save it with encryption so that I don't have the unencrypted version just sitting there the whole time.

hey, this sounds cool, maybe you could fill a bugreport (or make a plugin yourself...)

Hi, can anyone explain me the difference between KWrite and KEdit? I have both but find hardly a difference...

rgfree

KEdit is deprecated. It's only included because it still supports BiDi for all those strange languages. Anyone else shouldn't use it anymore. As soon as KWrite has full support for writing text from right to left or upside down or whatever it will be kicked from KDE.

Lenz

Thanks for that information :).
