Hi.
RMB on word and if word is in list in Kate configuration:
True / False
true / false
On / Off
Mark / Unmark
etc.
Should switch in place that word with the other one.
Another idea: goto in text:
goto:352345234
dobleclick on it (or RMB menu) and Kate jump to:
here:352345234
Probably can be done with scripts?

Your post is tough to understand, I assume you don’t know how markdown or formatting works…

Try to explain what this means in English, it makes no sense to me.
The context menu (from RMB) has many options.
Well you can simply copy the text 352345234 and then press Ctrl F and paste that text to find it in your document.
For Kate scripting, you can start with the Kate Handbook… you can extend Kate with JavaScript scripting and C++ plugins.
But hold on, maybe there’s a gap in documentation…

Ok. I did it with bash and External tools:
#!/bin/bash
# name: trueFalse.bsh
if [[ $1 == "True" ]] ; then
echo -n False
exit
fi
if [[ $1 == "False" ]] ; then
echo -n True
exit
fi
then in External tools:
Blue is (Output), I think from Polish will be: Replace selected text
And then I add to Toolbar:
Double click on True or False, is selected and then click button and is switching.
And there is on the left side: Jump2line
#!/bin/bash
# name: kateJump2line.bsh
myVAR=$(wl-paste)
if [[ $myVAR =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] ; then # checking if myVAR is number
kate -l $myVAR
fi
In terminal in Kate I have option click to mark and copy to clipboard then I click on number of line with error in terminal, number is copy to Clipboard and push button and Kate jumping to line with error. Very useful.
