Kate is the feature-packed text editor from KDE.

The official instructions web page for "Building Kate from Sources on Linux" is https://kate-editor.org/build-it/

The web page talks about how to build kate using kdesrc-build.

The web page also talks about how to configure the kate text editor in order to program/develop C++ source code projects:

  • Configure kdesrc-build to generate .kateproject project files.
  • Configure kdesrc-build to generate the file compile_commands.json used by the clangd C++ LSP server.
  • Enable the kate plugins: Project Plugin, LSP Client, Build Plugin.
