Kate Text Highlight Plugin

This plugin is designed to make reading logs easier.

Build

The KDE Framework (KF) is required. I have only tested this with KF6, as I do not have a KF5 environment.

Without Kate

cd kate-text-highlight-plugin
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
cmake --build .

With Kate

Put this plugin to your_kate_source_path/addons/, and build kate.

How to use

Installation

Build it by yourself or download the release version from the release page. and put text-highlight-plugin.so to /usr/lib/qt6/plugins/kf6/ktexteditor/.

Activation

Open Kate, find Settings on the menu bar, choose Configure Kate..., click Plugin on the left side, find Text Highlight on the right side and check it. back to the editor and enjoy it.
