Kate has a command line (by default triggered by F7). It allows you to enter commands by typing them in. However, it doesn't show all possible things you can do with kate. One notable exception: menu items, and other kactions, are not listed. So you can't just type "open" to open the file picker dialog. I think it would make the command line much more powerful if it were to automatically support all kactions supported by kate. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (example) 1. Hit F7 2. Type "open" or "open..." (without quotes) 3. Hit enter/return Actual Results: It returns: No such command "open" Expected Results: It opens the file picker dialog.
Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last two years and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is very small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishs that show no activity for two 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 two years again. We have a nice website kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. For highlighting improvements our user manual shows how to write syntax definition files. Greetings Christoph
