You launch it from your applications menu and you start typing. KWrite is available from /kwrite, and Kate from /kate/.īoth can be installed through KDE Discover, and KWrite can be installed as a flatpak. If you have KDE Plasma Desktop installed, you probably already have KWrite installed, but you may need to install Kate separately. However, they’re distributed as separate applications and have different use cases. KWrite and Kate are maintained in the same development repository. Using the same component for text editing across text editors means that once you grow accustomed to one text editing interface in KDE, you're essentially familiar with them all: KWrite, Kate, KDevelop, and more. They share between them a library called KTextEditor from the KDE Framework, which provides robust text editing options, so no matter which one you choose you have more features than you're probably used to from a "basic" text editor that just happens to be included with your desktop. On the KDE Plasma Desktop, there are two text editors to choose from: the humble KWrite and the powerful Kate. They're useful to the user and easy for the developer. I think that's also the reason that most operating systems provide a simple desktop text editor. The reason they're seen as easy apps to create is because the frameworks provide so much of the code that's hardest to write. I myself have written at least three example text editors in articles about wxPython and PyQt, and Java. Refer the command below.A text editor is often a good example application to demonstrate what a programming framework is capable of producing. Now to open the application just type the command kate on shell prompt.
