Purebasic (Linux) highlighting supported in Kate Editor

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.

Zebuddi. :D

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.
