Bug 284975

I should say I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome desktop.

I can't reproduce this with kile-2.1.0 and KDE-4.7.2.  

Right after I change some shortcut provided by kate kpart, it is written into ~/.kde4/share/apps/katepart/katepartui.rc . Close then reopen kile, the changed shortcut is persistent.

I don't yet have KDE-4.7.2; I'm waiting for it to be backported to Ubuntu 11.04, which apparently should happen any day now according to 

http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-platform-workspaces-and-applications-472

So once I'm able to update, I'll check again.

Just updated to KDE-4.7.2.  Still not fixed, but here's more precisely what I see:

1. Open the katepartui.rc file in an editor (other than Kile).  Note which shortcuts appear.
2. Start Kile.  Kile doesn't use any of the shortcuts listed in the file; it uses the defaults.
3. Change one of the Kate Part shortcuts as described in description above.
4. Quit Kile.  Now the editor asks to reload katepartui.rc; when it does, any existing shortcuts are removed, and the new shortcut from step 3 appears.
5. Start Kile again.  The shortcut in katepartui.rc is still ignored.

So it appears Kile does write the shortcuts to katepartui.rc, but it is not reading them on startup for some reason.

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this here. KatePart shortcuts are correctly restored even with KDE 4.6.5 (on Fedora).

How did you install Kile?

If I remember correctly, I first installed 2.1.0 Beta 5 from here:

https://launchpad.net/~yofel/+archive/backports

then updated to the release 2.1.0 from the Kubuntu backports PPA.
Do you think re-installing from scratch would help?

Okay, I tried un-installing and re-installing from the Kubuntu Backports PPA, but no change in behavior from the original post.

Here are all my specs, in case it helps:
- Ubuntu 11.04, dual-booting with Windows XP on a Dell laptop
- KDE 4.7.2 (not the full workspace; just packages required to run Kile and Kate) from the Kubuntu Backports PPA
- Kile 2.1.0
- directory ~/.kde/share is symlinked to a directory on a shared NTFS partition so I can use the same settings in Kile/KDE-for-Windows in Win XP

Ok, the last point looks most interesting as my setup is different.

Can you try it saving/restoring KatePart shortcuts works in Kwrite and Kate itself? And maybe even KDevelop?

OK, I think it was the symlinking.

I installed KWrite first, and the shortcuts *did* persist between sessions.  However, they still did not persist in Kate/Kile.

But when I removed the symlink to the NTFS partition and restored the ~/.kde/share folder to its original location, *the Kate/Kile shortcuts did persist*.

Moreover, when I started Kile just after restoring the folder, it picked up the shortcuts I had saved in the last session, but which had not been showing up after a restart.  Strange!

So it looks like there is some difference between the way KWrite and Kate/Kile read their respective katepart files, and something that doesn't jive between Kate/Kile and NTFS.

But I'm happy it's working now!  Thanks for your help!

Ok, I'm forwarding this to kdelibs so that the NTFS issue can be investigated.

It seems I have a similar problem, except I don't use NTFS, but ext4.

Here are all my specs: 
- An up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 (updated from 10.4, and with LXDE on top)
- KDE 4.8.4 (not the full workspace; just packages required to run Kile and Kate)
- Kile 2.1.0 
- directory ~/.kde/share is symlinked to a directory on a shared ext4 partition, which is in my Dropbox folder, so I can use it on different computers (all Ubuntu powered).

Using a symlink worked well on Ubuntu 10.4 (I don't remember the corresponding Kile version).$

Now, Kile shortcuts can be modified, but Kate shortcuts changes are ignored. Is there any workaround ?

Unfortunately I haven't used Kile for several years and don't have an NTFS partition on which to test it.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
