kate: Create a new editor instance even if one is already open.
$ kate --new
try on your machine
The "kate" command with the "--new" flag is used to open a new instance of the Kate text editor in Linux or Unix systems.
"Kate" is a powerful and feature-rich text editor for the KDE desktop environment. It provides a user-friendly interface and supports syntax highlighting, code folding, session management, plugins, and other advanced features.
When you execute the "kate --new" command in the terminal, it launches a new instance of Kate, allowing you to start a new editing session with a blank document. If you already have an instance of Kate running, it will open a separate window, allowing you to work on multiple documents simultaneously.
