Kate lets you to edit and view many files at the same time, both in tabs and split views, and comes with a wide variety of plugins, including an embedded terminal that lets you launch console commands directly from Kate, powerful search and replace plugins, and a preview plugin that can show you what your MD, HTML and even SVG will look like.
Make Your Code Pretty With Syntax Highlighting

KDE Framework 5.84 - Expandable Tooltips
Starting with the KDE Frameworks 5.84 release, KXMLGUI based applications will feature expandable tooltips per default.
The matching merge request by Felix Ernst got merged today after 3 months ;=)
What are expandable tooltips at all? Good question ;=)
In short: for stuff like menu & toolbar actions, it provides an easy way to access the “What’s This?” help.
Unlike before, where you need to manually trigger that via the “Shift-F1” shortcut and click around to try out which GUI elements provide at all this additional help, you will now first get a small tooltip with the normal tooltip content (if any) and a hint that with “Shift” you are able to get more help displayed.

Let's welcome Kate the Cyber Woodpecker
A lot of good things happen at the moment in Kate’s development.
We didn’t only implement plenty of new features for 21.04 and fix a lot of bugs in the last months and year, we did improve our overall product branding, too.
Early in 2020, we introduced a new Kate icon designed by Tyson Tan to get some icon that is instantly recognizable compared to the generic ones we used in the past.

So what does it do for real? Ever wonder why a code line is as it is? Git helps with that. There is the git blame command that provides information about when and who committed a line in a file.
