in your editor kicks butt IMO. Kate will still be more flexible in this
respect. Yes I know emacs can edit files via ftp. But what about SSH
[KIO_FISH] and others?
(Warning: I'm the author.) There is Tramp.
I don't know what's flexible about Kate, since I don't know Kate.
But I do know that the magic filename stuff in Emacs allows a hell of
a lot of flexibility. It's Emacs, after all.
Maybe someday I will write that KIO_CVS stuff [experimentally at
least] and then you can make little changes in CVS by "poking"
instead of updating and recommitting. [Slow net connection people
would like this???]
Hm.
Does KIO_* have a generic interface? Emacs also has a generic
interface to file operations. So if we could string these two
generic interfaces together somehow, we'd have something which
generically works for all KIO_* stuff, all in one generic^Wgo.
Thoughts?
