Repo is a bit sluggish, but here's a good place to start investigation:

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kd...CMakeLists.txt

Qt modules:

• core
• dbus
• widgets
• script
• sql

Plasma frameworks components required:

• config
• crash
• Il8n
• JobWidgets
• KIO
• Parts
• TextEditor
• WindowSystem
• XmlGui
• IconThemes

So...quite a lot. How much modification would be required make it touch friendly for a tablet is another matter.

Also, I brought it up more as an argument against IDEs being necessary than because I think you'd want those apps on a tablet.

However, a text editor similar to Kate would be great. One of the nicest things about it is that it's quite simple (doesn't try and close quotations for you like Notepad ++ and some other apps on Windows), and it has great syntax highlighting.

BTW Pichlo, I'm also a novice programmer (C++ and a little bit of Perl). I don't feel comfortable using an IDE until I understand what it's doing/don't need it! I'd rather learn how to do it manually before adding another layer of abstraction. Also, there's enough to learn about the language and Qt without learning how to use the gui for Qt Creator at the same time.
