Kate drives me nuts. Its a good editor but every time you right click to edit a file in konqueror using kate it starts a new window. If I use a command window and specify --use it will "reuse" an existing window if one is started for the session I specify. However because kdeinit starts it I cannot pass a parm through konqueror. So I get 30 kate windows on my desktop when all I want is one. Ideally I'd like kate to open the file I've chosen in the instance of kate which is already open ON THAT DESKTOP.
Has anyone figured this out? Sorry if this is an inappropriate forum... well not all that sorry.... wcn
Forwarded from Anders Lund kate development: You can have Kate reuse an instance by adding "-u" (or "--use" to the command line. For usage from within KDE, for example konqueror, edit the properties for the Kate application. You can read more in the online help (help:/kate) and at Kates website at www.kate-editor.org ---- Added by me ----- In kde, just open menu editor, select kate and add --use to the command line after "kate %U". The command line will read: "kate %U --use" Works like a charm! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
