Version: 2.5.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1 dapper) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-k7 When "static word wrap" is enabled and the currently typed line needs to be wrapped, kate doesn't keep the identation. The expected behavior would be that kate keeps the indentation after the static word wrap
I can confirm this bug in kate 2.5.5. It is quite annoying and there seems to be no way to enable this behaviour. Also, as side note, I have some problems with the kate command line, i.e. it doesn't recognize the "set-auto-indent" command, but it is displayed in the hints list when typing (F7 - type set-auto-indent true, press enter)
Confirmed in Kate 2.5.8. It's driving me nuts.

Confirmed in Kile 2.0.83
This is a feature wish. I can understand that you want that, thought.
The problem still exists and is still annoying. I wonder why no KDE developer cares, since this is the main drawback of kdevelop... Is there a way to fix this behaviour? It looks like instead of inserting a plain newline, kate just would have to trigger a return key event. kate: 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1 katepart: 4:4.13.3-0ubuntu0.1 kdevelop: 4:4.6.0-0ubuntu3
I don't seem to have the problem. If you guys still see it, please attach a screenshot illustrating how it looks like. Arch Linux 64-bit Kate 16.04.2 KDE Frameworks 5.22.0 Qt 5.6.1 xcb wm
Created attachment 105502 [details] Static or Apply Word Wrap Indentation I used the same example line (A) for each test. ### (A) Join: Tools -> Join Lines (ctrl-j) 3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative, they are relative to the extlinux directory. ### (B) Static Word Wrap: Settings -> Configure Kate -> Editing -> Enable static word wrap 3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative, they are relative to the extlinux directory. ### (C) Apply Word Wrap: Tools -> Apply word wrap (reconfigured key: ctrl-w) (No Static or Dynamic Word Wrap enabled) 3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative, they are relative to the extlinux directory. ### (D) Dynamic Word Wrap: Settings -> Configure Kate -> Appearance -> Dynamic Word Wrap or (F10) 3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative, they are relative to the extlinux directory. ### (E) Expected for (B) & (C) 3. Pathnames can be absolute or relative; if absolute (with a leading slash), they are relative to the root of the filesystem on which extlinux is installed (/boot in the example above), if relative, they are relative to the extlinux directory. "Dynamic Word Wrap", F10, or Settings -> Configure Editor -> Appearance does align (D), but the length is not "Word Wrap Marker", like "Static Word Wrap", but rather some percentage of the "View Width". The documentation does say "Align dynamically wrapped lines to indentation depth". The file is not saved this way. Doc: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/katepart/config-dialog.html The "Static Word Wrap" says nothing about alignment. Doc: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/katepart/config-dialog.html#pref-edit I tested with Kate and Kwrite, thus the Configure Kate and the Configure Editor. I agree with #1. Regarding #7, does that mean "Apply Word Wrap" and "Static Word Wrap" keep the alignment of the previous line. I tried it on a recent version of OpenSuse Tumbleweed and it worked like #1, not #7.

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last two years 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. e.g. see the information at https://kate-editor.org/join-us/ for details Greetings Christoph Cullmann
