However, it remembers other settings from the config dialog, along with the settings for the Tab Bar Extension itself. "Include window configuration" in Settings -> Sessions is enabled. 677915 1 dhaumann 2008-12-08 18:29:55 +0000 If you use sessions it should work out of the box. Try Sessions > Save as Default Session. Does that help? 677923 2 anderslund 2008-12-08 18:41:46 +0000 Is this a copy of something? This is because I never got to commit the changes of the default session concept at the Kate developer sprint. I'm planning to get this patch back in shape for trunk during christmas. 677947 3 illissius 2008-12-08 18:53:07 +0000 If I do Sessions -> Save As Default..., it remembers the settings I had changed up till then, but not anything I change afterwards. I guess this is Good Enough so that I don't have to keep reenabling the tab bar extension every time. Thanks. It would be nice if the filesystem browser were to remember its last location, though. I have "start new session" and "do not save session" set in the settings, assuming these control storing/restoring which documents are open, which I don't want. (It's not clear to me what certain combinations of these, such as "load last session" along with "do not save session", or "start new session" along with "save session" would do...) 739854 4 gatoatigrado 2009-04-06 22:22:34 +0000 For 4.2, - Keybindings (save, open, document quick switch) other than the katepart keybindings (katepart keybindings = move to end of line, etc.). I think I got a few things to work when I deleted the default scheme (click "details >>" on the bottom of the bar), but it was so unusable (no ctrl+s, etc.) that I switched back. 796992 5 bbi5291 2009-07-23 04:11:27 +0000 I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, and it seems to me that any changes made to Kate's configuration are written into ~/.kde/share/config/katerc, but Kate always loads its configuration on startup from /usr/share/kde4/apps/kate/default.katesession. The "set as default session" fixed the problem for me, but the default behavior of writing settings to one file and reading them from another seems counterintuitive to me. 856164 6 linuxfever 2009-11-05 11:05:18 +0000 I confirm the same behaviour in Kubuntu Karmic with KDE 4.3.3. 921517 7 dhaumann 2010-02-21 00:55:10 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 156330 ***
