SUMMARY Please add a feature that opens the file of the current selection, or even better the file where the input cursor is located. This is an enhancement request to implement a simple feature to open a file quickly. The use model could be like described in the steps below: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a new text file 2. enter /etc/passwd in the text 3. Place the cursor where | points in this example: /etc/pass|wd 4. Ctrl+Shift+O 5. /etc/passwd should be opened in a new Tab, new Tab should become active Tab OBSERVED RESULT I checked the documentation and the web but couldn't find what I was looking for. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kate is such a versatile editor and I am surprised that such simple feature is not available. Many thanks for the great tool!
I think if this would be implemented it would have to go into the Open Link plugin. The workflow would be: 4. Ctrl + Click on the file link. Patches are welcome ;)
