Is Kate capable of this? Update: It appears incapable of live-editing docs. VSCodium wins again, unfortunately.

Edit: All telemetry and AI features were disabled by default in my installation. Was that not the case for you? However, Zed still does not have side-by-side file comparison that involves live editing of one to instantly reflect changes on the other; I have to open the diff, and then find the contradictory spots separately in a third window. Why is it so hard to find an editor with live comparison-editing? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago (1 child) Notepad ++ does that. It's syntax highlighting and does great comparison of two nearly identical files. I've never used it to code though. I just use it for comparing text. But it is syntax highlighting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago Hmm, it doesn't seem to be natively available for Linux, and I'd like to not have to go through WINE every time for a heavily used program. Thanks, though!
