Setting up an IDE for KDE development.

There are many available choices for code editors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).

Some popular choices:

  • Kate - KDE's advanced text editor.
  • KDevelop - KDE's own IDE.
  • Visual Studio Code - Popular, customizable, has support for many programming languages.
  • CLion - C++ IDE from JetBrains.
  • Sublime Text - you can install the kdesrc-build plugin https://github.com/ratijas/kdesrc-build-sublime
