Description H.H. 2014-01-26 10:09:41 UTC
When I search a document, the document is searched from the current position to the end and not wraps. I remember, that I once clicked a dialog like "do not wrap and do not ask again" because the question-dialog everytime was so annoying. but I would like to revert this setting, but do not find a setting where to do that.

Reproducible: Always

Search for DoNotShowAgainContinueSearchDialog in $KDEHOME/share/config - for KDevelop e.g. kdeveloprc, or katerc for kate etc. pp. Remove that line or change it from "false" to "true".

Note: these "don't show again" flags are generally a usability nightmare when you ever selected the wrong thing there. We should think about whether to provide a configuration option in katepart for this.

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it.

The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs.

Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users.
If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it.

If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind,
if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it,
it will expire in a year again.

We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it.

Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
