The DocumentMenu

The Document menu has two purposes:

A menu entry for each open document will be available below the entries documented here. Clicking one of these will bring the requested document to focus. If you have multiple frames, an editor for that document will be displayed in the currently active frame.

Menu items

Document->Back (Alt+Left)

This will bring the previous document in the stack in focus. If you have multiple frames, an editor for the document will be displayed in the currently active frame.

The order is the order in which documents were opened, rather than a logical history. This behavior may change in future versions of Kate.

Document->Forward (Alt+Right)

This will bring the previous document in the stack in focus. If you have multiple frames, an editor for the document will be displayed in the currently active frame.

The order is the order in which the documents were opened, rather than a logical history. This behavior may change in future versions of Kate.

Document->Highlight Mode

The Highlight Mode menu allows you to manually decide which syntax rules to use for highlighting and comment'ing the active document. The menu groups the available syntax rule sets into logical groups.

Document->End of Line

This menu allows you to manually set the End of Line mode for the active document. Changing the mode will replace all line separators in the document with the character sequence for the new mode.

The available modes are:

Unix

On UNIX® systems, end of line is a single newline character.

DOS

On DOS (and Windows®) systems, end of line is represented by a carriage return followed by a newline.

Mac

On Mac® systems, end of line is represented by a by a carriage return.
