Question about Kate
(programming.dev)
KDE is an international technology team creating user-friendly free and open source software for desktop and portable computing. KDE’s software runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and other operating systems, including Windows.
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
Kate (and now Kdevelop) support LSPs, so you should get the same autocomplete experience as VS code.
Note that some LSPs are not what I would call lightweight. You might have a lighter experience using Kdevelop's python support, rather than an LSP for example (I've not tested though). Or research to see if alternate LSPs are available for a language.
From what I can tell, raylib is just a library? In which case it should work with any autocomplete (Kdevelop or LSP) for whichever language you use.
Kate includes many default LSP configurations, and links to their download pages in it's LSP settings. LSPs may also be available in your system's package manager.
Thanks for the response, you’re right that raylib autocomplete just works, so no issues there.
Both Kdevelop and Kate actually worked pretty well but I think I am going to end up using Geany for everything lol. I got autocomplete and call tips working with tags and since I’m already familiar with it, it feels comfy.
Not to mention it’s extremely lightweight. I’m leaving Kate setup on my machine as well for cases where I need those more robust options though. So thank you!
