I don't actually use kate. I use kedit and other basic Linux text editor apps. Maybe it's because I don't do any real coding to speak of, only the occasional hack to my system. At present, this is how my kate looks. (See attachment for screenshot.) The only toolbar is the basic menu. If you want to get rid of that, too, I will have to poke around to see what happens. Otherwise, my kate is probably the same as way back in about 2006-2008, when I first got into Linux, then soon thereafter discovered the KDE3 desktop. Like I said, I never use kate, or don't remember using it. I probably tried it out, but it didn't suit me. If you like, I will make a few experiments; once I find out what config file has those settings, that is, and make a backup. But if you also want the menu bar to disappear, that may be impossible, as deloptes points out in separate response, if, or because, (quoting here): "corresponding code to read the value and use it in the code"; I don't know about that, as I am not a developer, don't mess around with code.
