Kate als Linux-Alternative zu Sublime Text

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Kate is a solid replacement for Sublime Text, especially for users who want a free, open‑source editor with built‑in terminal, Git integration, and LSP support. It covers most of the core features you expect from Sublime: syntax highlighting, regex search/replace, multiple cursors, and a customizable interface. It is ideal for developers who prefer KDE’s ecosystem or need advanced project management. If you rely heavily on Sublime’s proprietary package ecosystem or prefer a minimal footprint, you may need to adjust expectations.

Editing code with Kate

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Syntax highlighting for a wide range of languages
  • Regex‑based search and replace
  • Multiple cursors and selections
  • Customizable themes and keybindings
  • Extensible plugin architecture

Was anders ist

  • Kate uses a JavaScript API for plugins, not Python
  • Built‑in terminal replaces the need for an external console
  • LSP/DAP integration provides code intelligence, while Sublime relies on third‑party plugins
  • Kate offers a file‑system browser and Git integration out of the box
  • Sublime’s lightweight, cross‑platform packaging is more streamlined than Kate’s KDE‑centric distribution

Ihre Sublime Text-Dateien öffnen

Kate can open Sublime Text project files (.sublime‑project) and build files (.sublime‑build) as plain text. It does not natively import Sublime’s settings or keybindings; you would need to manually copy the relevant snippets from the .sublime‑* files into Kate’s configuration files.

Von Sublime Text zu Kate wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Export your Sublime settings, keybindings, and snippets to a backup folder.
  2. Install Kate from your distribution or Flathub.
  3. Open the backup folder in Kate’s built‑in file browser to keep your files organized.
  4. Copy any custom snippets into Kate’s snippet manager (Tools → Settings → Editor → Snippets).
  5. Install desired LSP servers via your package manager or via Kate’s plugin system.
  6. Configure keybindings in Kate’s Settings → Shortcuts to match your Sublime shortcuts.
