ktexteditor - emacsextensions
Text Editors
A KTextEditor plugin that provides Emacs compatible features such as:
* kill-ring (yank (Ctrl-Y), yank-pop (Alt-Y), kill-ring-save (Alt-W), kill-region (Ctrl-W)
* mark-ring (Ctrl-Space, Ctrl-X,X, Ctrl-U,Space)
* kill-line (Ctrl-K)
* next-line (Ctrl-N), previous-line (Ctrl-P)
* forward-char (Ctrl-F), backward-char (Ctrl-B) for Kate pre 3.4.
Some of these actions are only activated in older KTextEditor versions that don't support them by themselves yet.
Since it is a pure KTextEditor plugin, it is available for a all KDE applications that use the libkatepart for editing, among these are KDevelop, Kile, Kate, Quanta Plus and many more.
It's a great plugin to enhance your KDE texteditors as long as there is no Kemacs.
Comments and suggestions for more features are welcome.

I installed the emacsextensions plugin, selected it under "Configure Editor"->"Plugins", and got all the entries in KScope's "Edit" menu.

repeated calls to emacs kill-line seem to clear the cut buffer, rather than append to it, so that a paste will only paste the last cut line. This is very different from emacs' behavior - does that happen on your end too?

But now that someone caught me ;-), I'll have a look how difficult it would be to mimic Emacs' behavior with respect to this.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to do it. I tried using the undo count, but this is too fine grained and seems to also change when you move the cursor between two kill-region commands.

The action will only be available in libkatepart versions < 3.4 since the katepart supports it in 3.4 itself.

Thanks for interest.
If you could point me to some exact specification of these features and I find them useful I might add them.
Please keep in mind, that the plugin should only depend on the KTextEditor::... interfaces documented at:
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/interfaces/html/namespaceKTextEditor.html
This confines most features to non-GUI functionality.

to put an emacs-editor submenu on the right-mouse-button?
this might be useful so you don't have to go all the way up to the menu bar Edit.
of course I have the key shortcuts memorized so it doesn't really matter much to me.

I don't use it myself, but if it advertises the actions and their shortcuts better, it won't harm.

To make Ctrl-K kill from the point to the end of the line I needed to change the default Delete Line shortcut which is also Ctrl-K. Was that the correct solution?
Report

Yes, that was the correct solution. I was going to write some documentation about that, but haven't come around to doing it yet.
The Emacs kill-line deletes from the current point to the end of the line and also puts the deleted content into the clipboard and kill-ring as opposed to Kate's implementation.
I haven't used the plugin in long editing sessions yet, so more subtle discrepancies from Emacs' implementation might have gone unnoticed. If you notice minor annoyances like the the wrong text being yanked, or yank-popped, let me know.

I was wondering though - the ctrl-Y should yank whatever was cut with ctrl-k, but it appears to be an alias for ctrl-V (paste) and pastes whatever was in the cut buffer.
Which would be fine if ctrl-K put its "cut content" into the paste buffer.

Turns out my ctrl-k was simultaneously bound to "delete line" in the other shortcut menu, which I didn't notice. I removed that binding and now your cut works great.

Ctrl-K is not fully compatible to Emacs's kill-line yet when you call it at the end of a line. The new line character should be removed then. This will be fixed in the next release.
