This is for Kate 5 (KTextEditor from KF 5). If you need a version for Kate 4, use the v0.6 release.

  2. Get your API key.

  3. Clone this project and compile:

    git clone git@github.com:Tatsh/kate-wakatime.git
cd kate-wakatime
mkdir build
cd build

    Linux:

    cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

    MacPorts:

    cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local/

    Finish the task:

  6. Restart Kate to be sure the plugin initialises properly.

  7. Go to Settings, Configure WakaTime.... In the dialog, fill in your API key. Click OK to save.

To be certain this will work, check the file at ~/.wakatime.cfg.

Is this a keylogger?

Short answer is no.

See the WakaTimeView::sendAction() method if you want to be certain.
