Description Alexander Nestorov 2014-04-15 12:30:33 UTC

Most editors have their one and only, single, config file which contains all the user's options (shortkeys, editor configs, tweaks, colors, etc...). In vim, that file is .vimrc, for example.

It would be nice if Kate could stick with something like that so config can be easily shared between different environmnets/machines.

Reproducible: Always

It's a great idea.

EditorConfig is currently being implemented. I don't think that share other configuration would be possible since each editor uses its own format and features.

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it.

The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs.

Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users.
If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it.

If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind,
if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it,
it will expire in a year again.

We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it.

Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
