Is there a way to have an autocompletion based on the included files?
I explain: I use Kate to edit python files, and I would be happy to have in Kate an autocompletion showing all the methods of a class and their arguments, like Eric does.
thanks

I use Kate for editing websites, not as a Kedit replacement.

I know there's a menu item to show and hide the console, but often I need to see output in the console while editing.
Thanks!

You can also set your shortcut to the Kate commandline, but that's not very useful until the next release when it can be scripted. Still, it's neat to have an emacs style command system in place, even if it is currently limited to a couple dozen commands.

What I am really looking for is a shortcut to actually "switch between" the panes while leaving the konsole pane open similar to the behavior of F8 for switching between the split editor panes.
It would be incredibly useful to have a shortcut like "alt+uparrow" and "alt+downarrow" to switch between the vertical panes of kate. The behavior of each shortcut could cycle (editor -> konsole -> find -> editor) and at the same time leave up/down to switch immediately between 2 adjacent panes.
Taking your hands from the keyboard to pick up the mouse and click in the window and then reorienting your hands on the keyboard is a bit of a slowdown.
Is there something hidden in the code that would allow this?

There is one problem I've had with several versions of Kate. Right now I'm using version 3.3.2, but I saw this problem in earlier versions before I recently installed SimpleMEPIS 3.3 on my workstation.
Once I add or change any icons on the tool bar, from then on the changed toolbars, and most other tool bars disappear. Sometimes I'll have a full toolbar show up while editing one file, but it does not show up when I switch files. If the toolbars have disappeared, I only have a minimal set of tool icons (new, open, last doc, next doc, and the reload icon I added). If I go to Settings->Configure Toolbars, then make any change at all, then save the settings, I get all the toolbars back for that one document I'm editing, but not for the others.
At this point, I'd rather not upgrade, due to dependencies and, basically, other than this (and one other problem I'll post separately), everything works, and I don't like over-fixing things.
So what do I need to do to get my toolbars to show up all the time?
Thanks!

If you can come up with a more exact description (examples, please) of your folding problems, please do so and lets see if we can do something about it.
Kindly direct a further description to kwrite-devel@kde.org or file a bug report at http://bugs.kde.org

I'd like to use Kate, becouse it doesn't use mutch resource, but I really want to see an automatic spell checker in it, just like in KMail.
Is it possible?

For example, in code we could spellcheck only strings and documentation comments. Or for HTML only element text and certain element attributes such as title, summary, alt and similar.
Additionally, it might be possible in the future to use aspell filters directly.

I do really like Kate though. I just started using it about a week ago. The Highlighting is always nice... but I really love the "embedded terminal" window and the ability to switch between many files with just 2 clicks.
Kate is sleek and lean... but it is built for KDE. I just hope they don't bloat it up like many of the other KDE applications. I like its clean interface and the fact that it doesn't try to be the jack of all trades and offer a million and one different options. I've just been noticing lately that a lot of application developers out there think they have to constantly add new features to their programs. I just hope kate doesn't try to become a KDevelop or a KWord.
just my thoughts,
Brandon
