DESCRIPTION
kwrite is a simple text editor from the KDE project. It provides syntax highlighting for many programming languages, code folding, and integration with KDE services.
KWrite shares the same editor component (KTextEditor) as Kate, making it a lightweight single-document alternative when full IDE features aren't needed.

HISTORY
KWrite has been part of KDE since the early versions, providing a simple but capable text editor for the KDE desktop environment.
