Bug ID: 451431
Summary: Provide basic Text Editing Options via GUI/Plugins
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: rbharathkuma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a text document with Kate
2. Try performing below text editing options via GUI.
2.1. Sorting (Asc and Desc - As a number or text or decimal or time)
2.2. Removing duplicates
2.3. Removing Blank Lines
2.4. Removing Leading and Trailing Spaces (Combined or each one separately)
2.5. Count number of occurrences of a character.
2.6. Replace characters just by supplying the escape sequences e.g. \n, \t, \r
instead of their regex equivalents.
OBSERVED RESULT
Currently no GUI options available.
EXPECTED RESULT
It is possible to do all of them them via an option that allows use of commands
on the file (filter ?) or through regex, but it would be much easier for less
technical users to do the same if a easily available GUI option were available.
It would be ok even if these functionalities are all available as a single Text
editing tools plugin so that users who don't need them or can get around using
other options need not use them.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch KDE (I use Kate both on my Windows and Arch Machines)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Was stunned when introduced to such features in Notepad++, but it is disrupting
my workflow of using Kate on both environments.
