No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It does have some quirks. I feel like there's one workflow that works really well, which is the workflow of the single core maintainer, and whenever you deviate from that, then yeah, features may be missing that you'd expect or things just don't work as smoothly.
But it has gotten some cool upgrades in recent years, like LSP support has basically transformed it into a mini-IDE and when you press Ctrl+Alt+i, you get a text search across all menu entries.
There's probably more things that I'm forgetting, but the quirkiness also got reduced quite a bit. Like, I would always use the File System Browser plugin, because it was the only one that worked well enough for what I wanted, and I just dealt with manually navigating into each project directory. Nowadays, I prefer the Project plugin, because that now works smoothly enough for that same purpose.
It's still a bit weird that I can't drag-and-drop files from Project plugin's file tree, but I just click "Open Containing Folder" in the context menu and then do it in my file manager, so it isn't a huge deal...
I’ve installed Kate and it seems pretty good. It’s quite customisable in terms of the layout and such(similar to VSCodium), and it seems to have most of the things I need. I’ll have to try both of them out and decide on which I like better.
Two things about Kate I don’t like though: there’s no everforest theme (fortunately I found Tokyo Night to be pretty good), and the file picket window doesn’t follow my GNOME theme and is a bright white box. I guess that’s because Kate doesn’t support GTK themes?
Also, what’s the difference between what looks like three different folder tree buttons (Document seems to only show one file, and then Project and File Browser plugin both show the full tree of the folder you have opened)? And is there an equivalent for the “Code Runner” plugin? If not, I guess I could always just run “python filename.py”, but a play/run button would be nice.
Oh, good question, how to make Kate work well under GNOME. I have to admit, I use it under KDE, so never really dealt with the theming. But I believe, "Tokyo Night" is only the editor theme. Can you select a different Window Color scheme in the menubar under Settings?
There is a plugin called "Build & Run", which you can enable and which might do what you're looking for. I typically prefer running from the terminal, so I can't say too much about it...
If I ever get a new computer, I might have to try a distro based on KDE…I’m not bothered to switch DE on my current computer
Yes, I am able to change the window colour scheme from light to dark. Just the file open dialogue is a bright white which is weird…
Also, thanks for answering my questions, that was really helpful :D
Oh, I thought you meant one of those file tree sidebars was white.
Does the file picker look somewhat like this?
Then it's using the KDE file picker. I believe, it should be possible to make it use the GTK file picker, by configuring the "desktop portal" correctly.
Here is a guide for doing the reverse of what you need (GTK application in KDE Plasma): https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uniform_look_for_Qt_and_GTK_applications#Consistent_file_dialog_under_KDE_Plasma
Maybe you can do the steps the other way around or it helps you find a better guide...
And no problem. 🙂
Yep, that’s it. I’ll look at that soon, thanks!
