Use terminal directly from Kate

Kate, along with Geany is one of my favorite text editor. One of the good features of Kate is that it open a file in terminal in the files own loacation. For Example, if you have a file in D drive, with following path : Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/File1 then Kate will open it in terminal in the same location say Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/File1 for my given example.

Ubuntu users might find that terminal in disable in Kate. Personally I also face the problem. The reason for the problem is Kate actually build on KDE distribution. Hence if you use the terminal of Kate, you need to install the package konsole in Ubuntu. So, go to your Ubuntu desktop terminal (Application > Accesories > Terminal) and type the following command :

sudo apt-get install konsole
