Hi there!
Would you care to cleanup this file so it can be pushed upstream into KDE SVN?
What I would like to see:
- name file qt4.xml
- use IncludeRules (see Kate documentation on Syntax files or http://kate-editor.org/article/writing_a_kate_highlighting_xml_file) to include C++, so no duplication is taking place
- only add qt specific keywords on top of that
=> would make the file lot smaller and simpler
=> changes in cpp.xml won't have to be ported to qt4.xml
If you have questions, contact me e.g. in IRC (milian on freenode, like in #kate).
It would be perfect if you added the (few) missing Qt3 QObjects/QWidgets so that the highlighting works for both Qt3 and Qt4.
AFAIK, only a few very common widgets like QSpinWidget, QHeader, QPopupMenu, and propably some others, won't get highlighted.
I think that in these times of transition, a syntax highlighting scheme for both Qt's would make everybody happy.

Your request has been executed!
Thanks!
Does not work for me, kate don't highlight Qt code. May be i did something wrong, priority = 9 for sources/qt ?
Make sure you restart the Kate application.
I did, but QHeader for example doesn't highlight
QHeader doesn't exists, maybe QHeaderView??
I doesn't by .cpp file, in a .h file highlight works great. In .cpp file emit, slot and signal highlight but Qt:: etc doesn't
download cpp.xml version for this problem ;)
I fixed this problem (created new file)
You highlighter replaces standard c++ highlighter that is distributed with kate. You should not do that!
