Yep, I edited and added the commit that first tried adding it. It’s been four years at least…so much about me noticing changes in programs I use ;)

Oh…you are right, I had no clue when that was added. Sorry, I really had no clue that kwrite can do that by now…I am sure it couldn’t do it in the past (But I doubt I really tired it in the last ten years after seeing that it initially didn’'t support it…so it could have been possible for some time already and I wouldn’t have noticed)

Edit: Okay I was curious…seems kwrite gained tab support around 2022: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/691 and https://kate-editor.org/post/2022/2022-03-31-kate-ate-kwrite/

Ugh…just tested agfain and you are right!

I wouldn’t use “=>”…they serve different purposes. But yes, they are all build with the same editor components (ktexteditor). Kwrite for example has no tab support…making it not really useful for editing more than one file at a time…but is simpler to use so rather useful for quick config file editing.

Kate is a full fledged text editor with plugin and LSP support. So it can serve as editor for programming but also as editor for other tasks that require some organizing and multiple files.

kdevelop is a IDE. It includes a lot more tools that aren’t strictly editor related (for example tools for easier looking through git patches before submitting them) but it is pretty much only geared towards programming (and there for specific languages like c, cpp, python or php)

Not mention…but kile is a editor specified on creating latex document which also uses the same editor component.
