You need to select the "Main Toolbar <KatePartView>" in the toolbar configuration dialog before you can add the tool items of the editor. The other toolbar is only used for the Kate application icons.
Comment 2 Mykola Krachkovsky 2010-12-26 06:48:33 UTC 
Confirm that bug is present.
e.g. I have "Tools" -> "External tools" -> "Google selection" item in the menu. But I have no ability to add this item to any toolbar. I open "Main Toolbar <KatePartView>" but there is no such item in the list.
Comment 3 Mykola Krachkovsky 2010-12-26 06:50:22 UTC 
By the way I'm using KDE SC 4.6 RC1.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2010-12-26 14:19:07 UTC 
Okey, so it is only for External Tools (I was checking Scripts)
Comment 5 Christoph Cullmann 2011-08-09 16:21:29 UTC 
External Tools is removed for 4.8, lack of maintainer, closing bugs, asking for somebody to step up, all bugs to look at listed there for archiving.

External Tools: Support adding actions to toolbar

The user workflow is a bit inconvenient, though:
1. Edit tools in Kate config dialog, close dialog
2. Menu 'Settings' > 'Configure Toolbars'
3. Select tool bar "External Tools"
4. Add actions

Still, it works.
