First, thanks Friedrich for pushing the preview plugin forward. (https://frinring.wordpress.com/2017/10/09/ktexteditorpreviewplugin-0-2-0/)

I am especially interested in the markdown capability and there in working with multiple documents which can link to each other and documents structured with headings and subheadings.

WISH 1
------
When the cursor jumps to a certain position in the markdown document (e.g. a heading), it would be nice if the view also (optionally) scrolls to this position.

WISH 2
------
I known the following is not possible for each preview plugin implementation but it would be nice to have an API for this: the preview plugin should report the first and the last source line of the current preview view. This can be used to scroll the Kate document according to the scroll position of the preview window.

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
