Bug ID: 397563
Summary: Menu of "most recently/frequently used" modes
Product: kate
Version: 18.04.3
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: syntax
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I frequently open files where Kate chooses "Normal" mode because it fails to
guess. I generally want to set the mode so that I get some sort of syntax
highlighting, even if it isn't perfect.
The desired syntaxes are often in the middle of the _huge_ list of choices, and
if I'm hasty with the mouse it can take several tries to get the right one. I'd
like to have a menu that shows things that have been used recently, or that
I've used most frequently, or a user-defined list where I can add things like
Bash, Python, INI, Groovy, Jinja2/YAML, etc.
If the user-defined list is the option that's implemented, adding to it could
be achieved by allowing the user to right-click and pin/favorite syntaxes, or
with something like "Configure toolbars..." where spacers can be inserted and
ordering can be controlled.
