How To Install KKEdit on Ubuntu 17.04

To Install KKEdit on Ubuntu 17.04

KEdit is a free, open-source, text editor built by combining Mac’ s BBEdit, Gedit and Leafpad. While it has interesting features like: jump to function declaration, search and replace via regular expressions, options for saving and restoring sessions, support for multiple bookmarks and source code highlighting, it is not an IDE.
