Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-199-default Virtually all editors under Unix support the "$EDITOR +line file" syntax to open the given file and jump to the given line number. KATE doesn't do this. Expected: Kate does so.
kate --help tells me: Options: -n Start a new Kate process (off by default) -w Open a new Kate window --initplugin <argument> Allow Kate to be initialized by a plugin. You most probably have to specify a file too. --line <argument> Navigate to this line --column <argument> Navigate to this column Arguments: file(s) Files to load so the functionality is allready there

Auch, the value slipped me. We should support that for kwrite as well as kate -- i guess kwrite would be a more likely candicate for $EDITOR than Kate :)
Okay, we have a decennial here ;) The following solution/hack works nicely for me, though: http://pla.nette.org/en/how-open-files-in-ide-from-debugger#toc-linux
Kate now also understads this: kate someFile.txt:5 will open someFile.txt and cursor is in line 5 kate someFile.txt5:3 will open someFile.txt and cursor is in line5, and colum 3
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
