Kate Text Editor Cannot Handle Lines Longer Than 1024

Kate text editor cannot handle lines longer than 1024?

This is a well know "security option", it is configurable:

Go to:

Settings / configure editor / open and save
set line length limit [ 1024 ]

and change 1024

Fix Kate text editor line limit via bash script

With permission of Ansgar Wiechers, I post a sed solution that seems to work for me:

sed -i.bak -e 's/^Line Length Limit=.*$/##&\nLine Length Limit=0/' ~/.kde4/share/config/katerc

It comments current value adding ## at the beginning of the line and appending after that the same with 0 as value. I use the -i switch that appends a .bak suffix as backup to the original file. Use sed -i -e ... (note the space between both switches) to modify the file in place. Be careful with this last option.

In my case, I prefer to modify files in-place with vim, so as extra I will post a one-liner that does the same than the previous sed command, only that its backup file is suffixed with ~:

vim \
    +'/^\v\cline\s+length\s+limit' \
    -u NONE \
    -N \
    -c 'set backup | yank | s/\v^/##/ | put | s/\v(\=\s*)\d+/\10/ | x' \
~/.kde4/share/config/katerc

Kate (text editor) indentation, c++

Ok, I tried for half an hour, I don't know why I found out how to do it right AFTER posting the question :). So in case anybody has the same issue, here is the "solution": I missed that kate seems to have a global setting for the indentation mode as well as a local one for every file. In my case - for some reason - my file had special indentation options set. You can alter them via the menu bar by chosing "Tools -> Indentation". This local option overrides the global one! Or the global one is just the default for the local options, I don't know exactly...

Kate Text Editor regexp for CNC code alteration on PC

First, go to View -> Tool Views -> Show Search and Replace. You will see

Make sure you:

• Enable {} regex option on the right as you are using a regex
• Enable "A^B" option on the right that enables case sensitive matching
• Select In Folder value from the dropdown on the right
• Fill out the regex, replacement, Folder and the Filter fields with the appropriate values
• Click Search button.

You will see the results in a separate pane and Replace / Replace Checked buttons will become enabled.

Review the replacements and click Replace Checked:

Then you may check the updated file contents, and if you are satisifed with the results, use Save All, also by pressing CTRL+L.

Concatenating Column Values into a Comma-Separated List

You can do a shortcut using coalesce to concatenate a series of strings from a record in a table, for example.

declare @aa varchar (200)
set @aa = ''

select @aa = 
    case when @aa = ''
    then CarName
    else @aa + coalesce(',' + CarName, '')
    end
  from Cars

print @aa
