@koakuma@uwu.social Yes, but Kate lacks any sort of project management or allows you to do any sort of project wide action like search, replace, etc.
Or maybe it does and it I haven't found it yet because I really feel like it is not made for anything other than making small edits to single files.

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @koakuma@uwu.social If you show the "Filesystem browser" left panel (instead of the "Documents" one), Kate's behaviour is more similar-ish to a traditional IDE.
Although if you're looking for a traditional IDE, maybe KDevelop is more suitable for that, I don't know (and don't use it myself; also I only use Kate for editing scattered and disconnected text files, organized in sessions).

@cinnamon @SuperDicq If you use the "Open Folder" function (and turn on the LSP integration for the language of your choice) it behaves in a way very close to an IDE, where the folder is your project
Search for symbol? Ctrl-Alt-P
Whole-folder text search/replace? Ctrl-Shift-F
Markdown preview? There's a plugin for that
Ctrl-click to go to definition/shows type on hover/find usages/etc.? If your language's LSP can do it then Kate will let you do it
And so on
But then again my needs are quite basic here haha
