Hi,

I think it is a good idea, if it were possible to insert readonly/locked text segments into the katepart. This is i.e. useful for template editing. Imagine a template for a Java file named MyClass.java. It could look like this:

public class MyClass { // locked
  public static void main (String[] args) { // locked
     // user edits his code
  } // locked
} // locked

In this example in the first line only "public class MyClass" and "{" should be locked, so you can write extends ...

I think this technology is used in Netbeans, but Netbeans uses comments which depends on the programming language, in this case Java.

I could need this technique for a textbox, in which a user should enter a LaTeX math formula. Because of syntax highlighting there should be an $$ at the beginning and at the end, but it should not be deleted.
