Can't save Kate settings.

[KhipuX]

Evening all.

Been all over KDE's website with no luck on this one. When I use Kate I like to use line numbers, get rid of the terminal line and hide the Documents column. Every time I set these preferences and restart Kate my preferences have been changed back to the default setup.

How do I make Kate remember these settings?

Many thanks.

I thought this bug had been fixed in KDE 3.5.9. Are you using Ubuntu 7.10 by any chance?

In any case, the workaround was to edit ~/.kde/share/config/katerc directly. For some reason, it wasn't saving changes to that file, but changing it manually (of course) would save them.

I'm definately on 8.04.1 with KDE 3.5.9. I've been through option after option and still can't get it to save any settings. Katerc has helped me out though so thank you. Looks like another bug report. Having said that, I can't get Konsole to save my settings either and that was supposed to be fixed in 3.5.9 too. Maybe there is a problem with my permissions.....

Hi there. I'm tryin to edit katerc myself, as I have a problem with my shortcuts. The thing is I don't know how to edit specific entries. I tried the most intuitive ways, but it doesn't work.

Do anyone know how to edit the Shortcuts section in katerc?

Better, is there any handout to do the editing of katerc?

Thanks.

I'm just trying to drag out the guide that I used. Can't find it on the net now though and the page I got the link from has disappeared.

If you can wait I'm sure I'll find it again.

I'm on Kubuntu 8.10, and Kate still doesn't persist the "Window...Tool Views..." settings.

I can't find any changes to the "katerc" file that fix this either.
