Been thinking about switching to Kate for development, and didn’t realize how much I was dependent on this feature until it was gone:
In [other editor], git diff info is rendered in the editor, colorized differently for staged vs unstaged, modified line vs new line, and indicators for removed lines. Also very helpful to be able to click on some of those indicators to see the more complete diff in the case of modified/removed lines.
In Kate, however, this is absent:
Although notably, changes made “during this session” are highlighted.
Of course there’s the Git tab on the side, but that’s inherently removed from LSP diagnostics + surrounding context + etc.
I never realized how much I relied on this (esp. in reviewing patches) until it was missing; is there any way to achieve this in Kate?
