Bug ID: 487095
Summary: Make text highlighting characters based not ‘whole
word’ only
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, text highlighting in kate is ‘whole word’ only. For usability, I
suggest to make it based on characters instead (this is how it is currently
done in gedit and in VS Code).
For example, highlighting the word ‘mode’ in: `mode.function`
Highlights also mode in: mode.script() but not: modeNew.script()
I think it would be useful to alter it so that not words are highlighted, but
any sequence of characters.
