Are you sure Kate is the right tool for this job? If you want a tiny note-like window to use as a notebad, how about a Sticky Note widget? You can put it on your panel and activate it with a keyboard shortcut. i mean, i understand that the notepad concept is to have a fast, simple and flexible tool. i am the kind of user that uses notepad all the day. to take fast notes, annotate big things, to fast count things and of course codding. i am sure i'm not the only user that miss that "resize versatility". just fast drag to any corner and take notes from a bigger window. thanks I note that on my 4k screen at 200%, I can make my Kate window exactly half as tall as you can in your screenshot. And the window is small, but still usable. Seems like the minimum window height in Kate is: 1. too tall 2. not scaling itself according to the scale factor Created attachment 133283 [details]
Screenshot
I got mine down to 127x184 (no menubar, no tab bar, no status bar and no sidebar). The most minimal text editor you'll ever see.
On my 1366*768 laptop screen i was able to reduce the height to 0 rows in the view and about 15 columns in width. For higher resoloution screens this is a bit different I guess. Created attachment 137328 [details]

See the attached screenshot, that is on a 150% scaled HiDPI screen. I don't see how we can reduce this even more. (used Plasma Desktop with standard KWin) @nate: can you really not resize it to that size? Have you some non-default loaded plugins enabled? I have Konsole/LSP/Project/Search/Documents plugin on.

Kate x KWrite
When i need a very small window i open the kWrite. See the comparison of KWrite and Kate attached. Both width are limited by tab name. I opened the bug but i think it is not too important. For me it can be closed. Its up to you. Thanks! Ok, then I would rather close this then try to figure out how to avoid these minimum sizes, given they are really very small already. Thanks! |
