> comment #0 I forgot to add the damned most important part - the cause. As [`discuss.kde.org/t/25134/15`][1] states: > Yea, that a `systemctl` optimization for Nano that prepends `+{line-numer}` to the file name to get the > editor to start at the specified line. The Kate-ism for this is to postfix the line number to the filename > with a colon (i.e. `{filename}:{line-number}`), but my favorite terminal text editor - `mcedit` supports > both the `+` syntax and the `:` syntax, so maybe Kate can be convinced to also support both. [1]: https://discuss.kde.org/t/disable-kde-monitor-brightness-control/25134/15?u=rokejulianlockhart The presented file name being some kind of auto-generated temporary file (e.g. `.../.#override.conf13545878` or some such) is fine - this is `systemctl` generating a temporary file where it can add all the extra comments. Other editors also show the same behavior, and it is not a bug.
The feature request here is for Kate/kwrite to support the CLI options "+{line-number} {filename}" to open {filename} at line {line-number}, in addition to the current support of "{filename}:{linenumber}", as it appears that some system tools use that syntax successfully with Nano and other command line editors.
(In reply to Oded Arbel from comment #2) > The feature request here is for Kate/kwrite to support the CLI options "+{line-number} {filename}" to open {filename} at line {line-number}, in addition to the current support of "{filename}:{linenumber}", as it appears that some system tools use that syntax successfully with Nano and other command line editors. I'll probably have to refile this due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501354#c4, so I'll combine that with it when I do. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/1753 Git commit 47ff616f309d392fcde7524eb5e70413f41f45d2 by Waqar Ahmed, on behalf of Christoph Cullmann.
