KDE Releases KDevelop 4.6 93
New submitter KDE Community writes that the KDE project has released KDevelop 4.6.0 as the latest version of the free and open source integrated development environment.
"KDevelop 4.6.0 improves debugging support with GDB. The GDB integration improvements include some operations now going into effect immediately rather than needing to re-run the program, improved debugging from external terminals, and a CPU registers toolview. KDevelopers' CPU registers toolview also allows for showing and editing all user-mode registers and general purpose flags for x86/x86_64/ARMv7 platforms. Other KDevelop 4.6.0 changes include greater language support within the PHP plug-in, Python language support improvements, more C++11 language support, improved project management, and a clean-up to the IDE's user-interface."

KDevelop uses Kate as its editing component, which has a Vim [kate-editor.org] emulation mode. Using this Vim mode, you would just do
(N-1)j
e.g.
4j
to delete 5 lines downwards. Additionally, KDevelop has probably the best C++ navigation/ code completion I've ever seen in an open-source IDE - it's a huge productivity booster for me.
