Excellent. Thank you.

their configuration.
The only options I can find in any browser would cause *all* links to open in new windows. As it is, if I follow a link from within the browser, I normally want it to open that link in a new tab. It's only links from outside the browser (eg from kmail) that I want to open in a new window because those links are normally not in the context of what I'm currently browsing.

given the state of things. :-( But you can fix Kate and your browser
everywhere, and can probably fix the few other programs that exhibit
this behavior similarly.
I am a little surprised -- I was under the impression that one of KDE's defining features is that everything under the sun had a checkbox or adjustment in some settings dialog, but I'm finding a great number of annoying misfeatures that simply can't be changed.
In this case, the fix for opening editor files from Dolphin is an 80% solution for me, so I'm going to take that and be happy. Thanks again.
