Features
Kate is a full-featured programmer's editor with syntax highlighting for over 200 filetypes. The syntax highlighting is extendable via XML files and can also specify code folding rules. It has support for search and replace using regular expressions and supports auto-detection of file encodings. Supported encodings include UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1 and ASCII.
Kate can be used as a modal text editor by using its vi input mode which emulates the vi editor.
By using sessions, one can customize Kate for different projects. When using sessions, the list of open files, the list of enabled plug-ins and the window configuration are saved, allowing Kate to be customized for a given project.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
