There is just one feature that Kate has that I really use a lot, but it is not on a convenient key binding, and that is the ability to filter the active text selection through a shell utility, or to capture the output of running a shell command. When I use Emacs, I use these commands a countless number of times every day, and they are both on default key bindings that are very easy to type.

I wish Kate would take this feature more seriously.

I hate that I can’t copy things out of kate, it shows up blank on my clipbboard

uh this is unfortunate, I can copy paste flawlessly on Wayland and I remember i could also on xorg a few months ago

That’s interesting. I use wayland on my personal setup and xorg at work and I can copy paste flawlessly. Do you have klipper enabled?

idk what klipper is 🤷. if it is the fefault clipbosrd manager it is in my system tray yes

Yes, that’s exactly what it is. Most of my problems with clipboard on plasma were due to a misconfigured clipboard manager. Does this happen only on Kate or other applications, too?

Kate is really a hidden gem. It’s so light weight and just gets out of the way. I’m now installing it everywhere—Linux, Mac, or Windows.
