(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kwrite Version: KDE 2.1.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified There used to be a freeware(?) editor in DOS called Edwin which had one feature I've not seen in other editors - a hot-key to move up and down to equally indented lines (I used to bind this to Ctrl Up/Down). This was a really neat feature for working with indented code - may I suggest this as a future feature for Kwrite please. - Alan (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog. Fields Application KDE Version OS Compiler manually changed)
Confirming this is missing from KDE4 trunk at the moment. Unsure about the future of this feature, though.
You can implement this now in upcoming KDE 4.6 very easy as script yourself, see: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdesdk/kate/advanced-editing-tools-scripting.html (it's possible to bind actions already, the documentation in the link simply was not yet updated to reflect this). In fact, I do not think this action belongs hard coded in C++ into KatePart.
Provide a script like Dominik says, otherwise this won't get in ever, sorry.
Created attachment 74884 [details] A kate script to do it Since I've just seen a kate script to do nearly what I want following a posting on Planet KDE I took the plunge and modified it to do what I wanted - here's the result. Please excuse any poor quality javascript code - it's not a programming language I've used much before.
Reopen, until we commit this to the new scripting API.
