I have some questions about kate:

1) How do i use the open headers plugin?
2) How do i use ctags with kate?

I am using kde 4.6 with kate 3.6

After activating the Open Headers plugin, you are able open for editing .h, .cpp, and .c files. Nothing more than that.

"ctags with kate?" See How to use ctags in kate

What do u mean? I can edit header files even i have this plugin disabled...
what's the difference?

For the ctags, i will look into it.

Let me ask my own question about Kate if you wouldn't mind...

I just set VI mode on, and yes I can use most of the VI commands with Kate now. However, I cannot seem to search the next instances of a word. I _am_ able to hit '/' and a keyword to begin search, but hitting 'n' does not go find the next instance(s). I'd imagine it's supposed to work? Any idea?

As I recall, once you enable that plugin you go to "Configure Shortcuts..." and you can assign a shortcut of your choice that will open the relevant .h or {.c,.cpp} file. There might be a shortcut already assigned.
