how was your experience with kate as a full vscode replacement? anything major you missed or had to work around?


It's been awhile but I remember there were things I was used to, some really nice things, that I didn't want to give up.

I love vscode's markdown editing features. (pasting a link over text to create a hyperlink or dragging and dropping image files to embed images etc.) I think some of the keyboard shortcuts I was used to were different (duplicating lines, selecting all occurrences of a selected text). Behavior of word/token traversing(Ctrl + Left|Right Arrow) was different. There were some things kate couldn't do at all that I don't remember.
