2006/09/29: I bought a Mac several months ago, and switched back to Emacs. I can’t, at this point, confirm that the externaltools works as originally advertised.

I’ve been using Kate as my main text editor for a fair amount of time now. It’s quick, handles multiple files great, and has excellent syntax highlighting and indentation features. But I just couldn’t get over the lack of built-in CVS support; I became extremely fond of it when I used XEmacs, and I look for it in every editor. Well, I stopped griping and implemented it myself, with Kate’s External Tools feature. Read on for the code.

Rather than dump the single entries, I’m just linking directly to my externaltools config file. This includes some of the default tools, as well as hotkeys to activate them. Enjoy.
