The terminal window has the same issues as the one in https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/3447 but at least it works for basic commands.

I was able to install the flatpak by copy/pasting the command above. Hit Enter/y when asked so then run:

flatpak run org.kde.kate

LSP seems to work fine !

A few remarks:

• Existing regular Kate's system sessions are not listed
• The terminal integration miss my custom bash prompt (liquidprompt), for some reason. It is sourced from .bashrc. Run source ~/liquidprompt/liquidprompt doesn't change anything.
• I don't see any desktop shortcut created

@travier

I also tested it, most of the stuff works great.

• My kate scripts that live in ~/.local/share/katepart are not loaded
• ~$TERM variable is set to dumb which is a bit annoying~
• ~Konsole doesn't repaint e.g., when you exit vi~
• Konsole colorschemes that are on my system don't get loaded (expected?)

Overall it is really good, much better than I expected. Is there someway I can build flatpaks locally to fix/debug these issues? I recall gnome builder had something like this, but not sure if it will work Kate/KDE development.

[Waqar144]

I found a few more issues, some of which are fixed. Also, I had to change finish-args to

        "--filesystem=host",
        "--filesystem=/tmp",

Kate creates temporary files a lot. E.g., the new formatting plugin creates a temporary file and then diffs it with the original file and then applies a patch. That doesn't work unless I have set the above two variables

We should probably add host. We already have that for Kwrite.

It would be great if Kate could use something like xdg-run/kate instead of /tmp for temporary files.

[travier]

I don't really understand why we need to have /tmp shared? Is this for getting the output of applications that are run outside the Flatpak?
