SUMMARY This is a far-reaching wishlist. Will it be possible where the core of Kate can be triggered by something like "kate-cli" in Terminal. The syntext can be either vim or nano like(maybe both can be toggled!). What problem does it solve? Editing system config file while terminal applications are preferred or in system emergency mode when GUI is not available. Again, this is an extreme wish, but it will be a cool edition nonetheless.
What would the benefit over using something like vim or nano directly be?
I am sorry, but this is out of scope. This would require to more or less "redo" everything related to input and output. I think, for such tasks, the existing command line editors are good enough, I myself use mcedit for such stuff, for the nice blue DOS feeling.
I just wanted to know it was possible or not. A complete rewrite is unnecessary though. Thanks for your time!
No problem ;) Thanks that you are interested in Kate ;=)
