Description Hendrik Kueck 2003-09-11 06:02:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

It would be very nice to be able to have different sets of editor settings (for the integrated text editor) for different file types. 

For example, I want to use and visualize tabs when editing Makefiles. 
I want to use spaces instead and not see tabs when editing C++ files. 

The editor already has some form of filetype dependency with the syntax highlighting modes. It would be nice to extend this to other settings as well.

Quite obviously a katepart wish. Reassigning.
Comment 2 Jesse 2003-11-03 19:32:07 UTC 
This has already been done for Kate cvs.  You can now assign all editor variables and options on a per-filetype basis.
