Bug ID: 474060
Summary: idea: "highlighter-pen" mode to mark "pending" edits
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.03.80
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@richardneill.org
Target Milestone: ---
When editing (and refactoring) a large chunk of code, sometimes it could be
really helpful to have the equivalent of a red-pen, or yellow-highlighter, to
temporarily mark up bits of the code that need looking at.
This is very easy to do when printing it, but awkward when working with the
electronic file (it's rather ugly to embed lots of "FIXMEs" and then remove
them later).
My suggestion:
1. A highlighting mode, which makes the cursor-select give the text a
(configurable) luminous-yellow background.
2. These highlights are ephemeral - they don't change the file, and go away
when the editor is closed.
(they may need to persist if the editor should crash).
3. On close, the editor should warn if any highlights are still present.
4. Right-click menu on a highlighted-section allows you to quickly remove the
highlight.
Thanks for your time and consideration - I hope this is a useful idea.
