I wish for Kate to support a learning mode similar to that supported by the OpenVMS tpu editor.
Say you are editing a file for which you need to do the same editing sequence many times. For example, you may want to put all occurences of a particular word on a line by itself and append some text already in the cut/paste buffer. Such repetive editing can be tedious asis. With the OpenVMS tpu editor you do the following
- enter learning mode (in TPU by pressing F12 and typing learn).
- do one instance of the editing (to allow the editor to record the sequence).
- exit learning mode (in TPU by pressing press ctrl-R followed by a key to be assigned to the execution of the sequence).
- now to repeat the editing sequence just activate the learned sequence (in TPU by pressing the chosen key).
