            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.
