KateListFiles enables users to generate two lists on the Kate text editor, serving as a convenient plugin for organizing file data.
With a multi-view editor like Kate, you have the advantage of viewing several instances of the same document, all synced, or viewing more files simultaneously for easy reference and editing. The terminal emulation and sidebar are docked windows that can be plugged out of the main window or replaced therein, according to your preference.
The key features of Kate are noteworthy, such as the powerful syntax highlighting engine, dynamic word wrap, and multiple views for viewing more instances of the same document and/or more documents simultaneously. Additionally, Kate allows you to reopen files if you want it to, choose the encoding you want for each file at the save/open dialog, and comes equipped with a dockable terminal emulation.
Another great feature is the sidebars displaying a list of open documents, a directory viewer with a directory chooser, a filter chooser, and more. Furthermore, Kate's plugin interface allows third-party plugins, and it also comes with default project handling, which can be overridden by project handling plugins.
The "Filter" command in Kate allows you to run selected text through a shell command, and there is even a global grep dialog available. To use KateListFiles, you will need KDE 4. x, Kate, and Cmake to compile the code.
Overall, KateListFiles plugin is a valuable addition to the already extensive list of features within Kate text editor that will undoubtedly enhance your software development experience.
