kwrite: Open a text file and navigate to a specific line and column.
$ kwrite --line ${line_number} --column ${column_number} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "kwrite --line ${line_number} --column ${column_number} ${filename}" is used to open a text file named ${filename} in the kwrite text editor application and position the cursor at a specific line and column within the file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "kwrite": This is the name of the text editor application that is being invoked.
  • "--line ${line_number}": This option tells kwrite to position the cursor at line number ${line_number} within the file.
  • "--column ${column_number}": This option tells kwrite to position the cursor at column number ${column_number} within the line.
  • "${filename}": This is the name of the file that is being opened in kwrite.

To use this command, you need to replace the placeholder variables (${line_number}, ${column_number}, ${filename}) with the actual values you want to use. For example, if you want to open a file named "example.txt" and position the cursor at line 5, column 10, you would run the following command:

kwrite --line 5 --column 10 example.txt
