Purebasic (Linux) highlighting supported in Kate Editor

[Zebuddi123]

Hi to all For those interested I`ve just stumbled upon that Kate Editor for Linux has highlighting/indentation etc support built-in version 3.14.2 from the repo`s.
Highlighting colors can be changed with menu setting - configure-kate - fonts&colors option highlighting text styles - highlight combo option - select purebasic

sudo apt-get install kate
If you have Kate crash when trying to open files, then
sudo apt install kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins
should resolve the issue

Just exploring things now, As the auto complete in the PBIde is virtually useless in pb 5.31 looking for an alternative editor to use.

The version katepart distributes is rather old. I use KDevelop with PureBasic however so here's is the updated version I created a while ago for 5.31 with all the updated procedures. I keep meaning to send it to the katepart mailing list I just keep forgetting.

Thanks, this is my first post in this name and my first post in many years but I have been around for a while. It can take a little tweaking to get KDevelop to play nice with PureBasic but I've been meaning to throw together a PB project template for it. Perhaps I will do this tonight and post it.
