Version: 2.5.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux I often edit php files with the .html extension. Kate does not know that these are php files, and therefore does not highlight them. Digging into the menus to get to the correct highlight option is a pain. I'd appreciate a way to add _any_ menu item as a button on the toolbar, so that I can add PHP Highlighting. See Open Office's toolbar (and keyboard shortcut) configurations for the ideal way of doing this.
Such as Settings->Configure Toolbars?
I see where one can add the highlighting button to the toobar, thus enabling selection of any of the highlighting options. However, I'd like to add a _specific_ highlighting to the toolbar and/or keyboard shortcut as I need it very, very often.
I have just noticed that Open Office has this functionality: any menu item can be added as a toolbar button. Is there a Qt limitation that GTK does not have, therefore, Open Office (GTK based) can have this option but KDE cannot?

When a program generates menu items without adding itmes to the applications action collections, that is not possible. As far as Kate is concerned, the only thing we can do about your specific problem is to add add all those actions to the action collection, something I do not think we want to do. If you wish for kde to have this option, you should file a wish for kdelibs/kdeui.
Thanks. I changed the product to kdelibs. I have another good use case for this request: My native language has three popular encodings. I'd like to add buttons for these three encoding, and no others, to the toolbar. Fulfillment of this bug would allow that. Thanks!
