Question about Kate (programming.dev)

Really hating all the crap being put into VS code and want a switch.

Im mostly working in C and some Python/Lua and just want to know if I can get parameter hints the same way I do in VS code. It’s a bummer to have to peek at the docs every time I forget what parameters something takes.

I like lightweight programs so Kate is my first thought but if it does t I’ll just go to Kdevelop. Currently using Geany for my really small projects or tests.

Bonus question, if I’m using raylib for game dev, how would those hints work (if at all) in Kate? If Kate is using an LSP for autocompletion, how would that work for a library like Raylib? Sorry I’ve never actually considered this all before now!

Thanks all

If you don't get the answer you are looking for here, get yourself to our Discuss forum. Devs hang out there often and they may be able to help you.

@Bro666 but at Discuss you won't receive answers as well 🥴🙃
At least my last questions wasn't answered.

Which question was not answered?

Also, not to be harsh, but your comment is borderline violating KDE's CoC. if the volunteers working for free helping out other people do not know the answer to your question, there is not much anybody can do about that 🤷. It does not mean other questions will not be answered.
