A config file containing a subset of the Emacs keybindings for the KDE Kate text editor.
Open Kate and from the toolbar...
settings > Configure Shortcuts... > Manage Schemes >> Import Scheme
give it the .shortcuts file in this repo and you're off to the races!
This is incomplete. I am familiar enough with Emacs to feel stunted by a lack of cursor control and multi-buffered views, but am by no means a power user and so have certainly missed many of the commands. So please feel free to make a pull request with whatever contributions if any of your favorite commands were unfortunately missed.
It's super easy to make changes! Load your '.shortcuts' file into Kate, make your changes in the same GUI used for import and then export the shortcuts file and send me a pull request
Some commands Kate does not support, such as C-l to cycle the view orientation around the cursor. Larger packages like 'M-x replace-regexp' do not have support. Certain compensations have been made, C-s & M-% both open a find-and-replace dialog, as an example.
beginning_of_document = M-<
beginning_of_line = C-a
close_current_view = C-x, 0
close_inactive_views = C-x, 1
delete_next_character = C-d
delete_word_right = M-d
edit_cut = C-w
edit_paste = C-w
edit_select_all = C-x, C-p
edit_undo = C-x, U
end_of_document = M->
end_of_line = C-e
file_close = C-x, C-c
file_open = C-x, C-f
file_save = C-x, C-s
go_goto_line = M-g, g
go_next_split_view = C-x, o
kate_mdi_toolview_kate_plugin_katesearch (find-and-replace) = -%; C-s
move_cursor_right = C-f
move_cusor_left = C-b
move_line_down = C-n
move_line_up = C-p
scroll_page_down = C-v
to_matching_bracket = M-e
tools_cleanIndent = C-M-\\
view_split_horiz = C-X, 2
view_split_vert = C-X, 3
word_left = M-b
word_right = M-f
page up = M-v : ?
align view to cursor = C-l : no native kate equivalent
cursor to start of block = M-a : ?
undo = C-_ : ?
start-end mark = C-space : ? (this is the most frustrating)
kill = C-k : technically works, but has strange side-effects
