Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux The idea is simple: to have a way so that kosole can use "kwrite's highlight patterns", in order for the text in konsole to appear highlighted, accordingly. comparison of the same type of text: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/180093/temppic/terminal-kwrite.jpg Picture situation: Before uploading a translation file (.po) to the svn, I have to use "svn diff" command, in order to make a check up. It would make my work easier and faster, if the text was highlighted, like in kwrite. I assume that other programmers and users would benefit from this, and not just translators.

This might be better implemented as a terminal application which the output of other commands can be piped through. In fact - I think there are several applications like this in existence though I don't know of any which use Kate/KWrite's syntax highlighting descriptions.
I think this is really beyond the responsibility of konsole or any terminal emulators. Konsole is supposed to display the contents as it is.
