are two of the crown jewels of tde. It

things as this project goes along. One simple idea is to
provide the
kate->tools->sort feature to kwrite. Is this the type
of thing that warrants a
feature request on the bug tracker to make sure it doesn't
get lost or is there
some other etherpad or tool that would be better. My .02 is
it should go in the
tracker as pads seem to come and go.
Fair suggestion but then the next question is when does KWrite basically become Kate?
Here kwrite isn't attempting to become kate -- no multi-doc-interface issues
surrounding adding 'sort' at all. Just giving kwrite the same sort tool kate
has. Depending on what I'm doing, I may have one 20 doc kate window open and
then another 5-6 instances of kwrite. There a many times when I'm cleaning up
build dependencies, I like to put them in an array by alphabetical order so it
makes it easier to parse the list. In kate, it is a simple matter of doing:
Tools -> Sort -> Sort-Dialog (set ascending/descending and click go) the data
immediately sorts:
here is the data:

Here is the menu item 'Sort':

Here is the result (all sorted)

I don't see any such menu item in Kate Tools menu. Picture?
I would like to see a sort option in both Kate and KWrite.

Seems like something that should be simple...
