1. That should be on by default.
2. It has no features that Zed doesn’t have that I use and takes up more system resources (it’s noticeably slower).
3. It’s far more confusing in its design with the project-pane thing which keeps constantly closing between reboots, and it has no recent-files menu section, which I rely on a lot (and if there is a plugin for this, I shouldn’t need a plugin for such a common feature).

I’ve made my decision for the time being. I am aware of Zed and can always change in the future should the need arise, but Kate frankly looked better, anyway.

Some people tried to get me into Zed as well, and that was sure not a fun experience seeing how heavily pro-AI it was. I literally ended up just returning to the built-in Zed.
