Public bug reported: The Text Filter plugin for Kate was previously present in Kubuntu 14.10 (and earlier), but isn't there in 15.10.
This was reported in KDE and patched in July: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347243 Here's the commit: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git&a=commit&h=07f60d0afa789e23421da7b8c44908dd01dd6df0 In looking at Kate's git repository, those files appear to be present under their tags for 15.08: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git Following the links for the tag 15.08.0, you can see the files in the tree here: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kate.git&a=tree&h=dad9965fb5ebcd7f27c7225bdc1b2544fdc96b04&hb=f7e8905912c130399b0195158941f544d565ed62&f=addons%2Ftextfilter So, it looks like that plugin should have made it into KDE Applications 15.08, and therefore made it into Kubuntu 15.10. You can open Kate -> Settings -> Configure Kate -> Plugins to see it's not there. So can that get added back?
