Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2009-08-20 11:19:18 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I want to open a file in kate over the network, I can't write part of the file name and get a suggestion for autocompletion like I get in the local filesystem.
Must be an error, because the file is listed right above in the file-list.

I'm running into this bug, too. Very annoying - I used to use sshfs, but Kate does not work well with it, and people suggested using sftp. I did - but now I lost autocomplete, even for files already listed on the screen!

Is this still an issue with KDE Frameworks 5.44 or greater?

Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2018-05-05 21:45:34 UTC

open file dialog of kate 18.04 shows suggestions of files from a samba share on my system while I type in file name field below files list.

Arch Linux
plasma 5.12.5
frameworks 5.45
