• Highlight Text Selection Plugin

    by Dominik • February 15, 2013 • Users • 9 Comments

    As a quick notice: The highlight selection plugin was not removed in KDE SC 4.10.0. Instead, a silly bug results in not loading the plugin. This is fixed for DKE 4.10.1. If you cannot wait, you can find a workaround here spacer

      Hello guys,
      What about the Quick Switch plugin? I’m using Kubuntu 12.10, KDE 4.10.0 from ppa, got hlselection working with the workaround above but really miss quickswitch.

        If you carefully read kate-editor.org/2013/01/06/kate-in-kde-4-10/ you will notice ctrl+alt+o.
        In other words, quick switch is now integrated into Kate

          Thanks Dominik, you saved me!
          I guess the keyword here is “carefully” as looked at it a few times spacer

      Speaking of bugs… Am I the only one seeing a problem in block selection? I can’t find a bug for it.
      Press Ctrl-Shift-B and try to select a block of text: if the last line is shorter than the ones preceding it, you won’t be able to select all the columns you need: the cursor won’t move past the end of the last (shorter) line.

        Christoph removed the “non-wrapping” cursor due to bugs (iirc). But I’m pretty much hit by this as well, it simply sucks…
        Can you open a bug report? Imo this should be even fixed in the 4.10 lifetime.

          I will, since you confirm it’s not only me having this problem… I thought it could be some package installation problem (recently I reported a bug on panels that turned out to be some packaging mistake by the Kubuntus)
