there is one feature that I truly miss from notepad++ and couldn't find it in kate.

the feature is the option to bookmark all matching lines in the find dialog, then from the bookmarks submenu you can delete bookmarked lines or delete unbookmarked lines.

super useful, yet couldn't find it in any other editor.



You have this in vim. It’s called “the quickfix list.”

Granted, it’s not as obvious to use as NP++ I’m sure. And it’s actually a generalized feature that works for more than just searches. But it does automatically get populated whenever you :grep in vim.
