My previous article titled "Hallelujah! In-line spell checking added to Kate" brought a lot of traffic to my site through google. This is one of the features that is non-existent in Kate and in Kile, which depends on Kate. I use Kile all the time and an inline spell checking feature would definitely make my life lot easier. On 2007-12-11 user FiNeX reported that "Spell check added on KDE4 version of kate." Unfortunately there have been a lot of issues (or confusion) with it since not may distro's ship the complete KDE4 platform and not all applications that depend on Kate have been ported completely to the KDE4 platform.
