It seems like those headers might be important. And please disregard my lines of ###s, I just use that to set off quoted text in an email when it is a very long passage. Every so often, I find that those snips taken from older config files still work in the newer TDE releases. (I probably shouldn't say that; those tricks might go away!) In any case, it *seems* like something like this ought to work, if only you can find the right config file. There are also some with a different extension, .kcfg, that I find in the newer releases, no longer plaintext files but rather something like xml, maybe? In any case, I looked there: /opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg and on my machine (running Devuan Daedalus) there is no .kcfg file for kate. Whether or not these can be modified by the ordinary user, I don't know. But if so, it may be possible to write your own. There are .kcfg files for other similar Trinity apps, such as kedit. I haven't yet tried to modify these, don't know if it's possible, but I believe maybe there, or by changing lines in another such -rc file, your hopes can at last be fulfilled, all your dreams come true.
