Version: 2.5.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I'd like very much to have a keystroke that would move the cursor to the beginning or end of a sentence, similarly to what meta+a/meta-e does in Emacs. I understand that navigating to beginning/end of words and lines is flexible enough in most cases, but inside long paragraphs moving by sentences could be very useful as well.
Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right?
This moves the cursor to the beginning/end of a word. I'd like it to move to the beginning/end of a sentence.

HOME and END move the cursor to the beginning/end of a line, not a sentence.:)
What's a sentence? :-) int foo; for (foo = 0; foo < 5; foo++) printf("%i\n", foo); I guess a "sentence" is marked by a ';'... Yeah, that would be a nice feature.
Not really a good idea: printf("some cool sentence;or not?"); Or what about python (would need 2 sentence delimiters - at least): if foo is None: boo() Kate would need a new file-type for this: Human Text.
Well, it is true that there are different modes for source code and for human text in Emacs, but I don't think it would be necessary in Kate. A sentence delimiter (I guess) is either a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark, followed by a space and a capital letter. Therefore, none of the above examples would count as a sentence delimiter. (Also, the feature could be disabled for file-types that are known to be source code.) But when I think about it now, it wouldn't work for Spanish, and it certainly wouldn't work for such languages as Thai or Hindi, which don't have full stops etc. at all. (I admit I really have no idea how Emacs handles this, if at all.)
This, again, is a perfect use case for scripts. If we already could bind a script to a shortcut, the answer/solution would be: Write yourself a script. It can be done already with a plugin. I don't think such a feature should be hard coded in C++ into the Kate Part.
Dominik: It can already be done with a script, and you can already bind scripts to shortcuts if you're using Pâté. (n.b I suggest you get the repository version if you want to use it)
Can be implemented with javascript in KDE 4.6: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdesdk/kate/advanced-editing-tools-scripting.html http://kate-editor.org/2010/07/09/kate-scripted-actions/
If no script is provided, this is a wontfix. People can contribute that now easily.
