Because kate is integral to KDE, leds isn't (if you use KDE as your *nix
desktop.)

(probably you can download a theme for GTK that emulates your KDE theme) Is KDE so monopolistically blind that doesn't allow users to fire an external application as if it was a KDE application? (couldn't spell seamingsly) Or don't you use a GTK application for some ideoligical reason? (all distros I tryed had both KDE and Gnome - I don't use any, just GTK) leds is a much (,much, much) better tool for coding on D then kate, it's your lost if you impose yourself that artificial limitation. if you have GTK on you system there is no reason (that I find valid) not to use leds. I don't see a reason not to install GTK (unless you don't own the system). well, is my lost too as I need users with reports and suggestions... Ant |

Posted in reply to Ant | I have never tried leds. Anyhow: I use many different programming languages and other text file formats. Kate certainly is not perfect for any individual one, but it is far more comfortable to stick with one editor that does everything reasonably well than having to adjust to different editors all the time.

Posted in reply to Norbert Nemec | That is also my reason for sticking with D and Java development in Eclipse. One tool for both languages. It also does C/C++ and I hear PHP is closing in on a plug-in. It's a really nice platform for IDE creation and use.

Posted in reply to Ant | Ant,
It seems to me if you provide keyboard mappings in leds for Kate and Eclipse? and any other editor you find people are using for D development you will get more converts.

They don't, there isn't even code to process those...
