Hello,

Kate is a great software, highly configurable and light enough to be used as a general purpose editor. But sometimes I miss some tools that I'm used to employ with Nedit.

For example :
- columns select/copy/paste. If you highlight some text with CTRL key down, highlighting is made by column instead of by line. Very useful to copy/paste some parts of column aligned code for example.
- open highlighted. If some text is highlighted a menu item allow opening of corresponding file. Works only if highlighted text is a filename of course. Very useful when dealing with config files referring each other for example.
- integrated shell commands like wc, sort, and so on. This avoids going through the console to perform these actions.

Thanks.

Thanks for taking your time to share your ideas. However, we only allow one idea per thread, so I'll mark this one as invalid. Feel free to repost the ideas as separate threads.

OK, as these are related to same software, I thought I could post them together. Sorry for noise
