Description Gregor B. Rosenauer 2017-08-03 14:35:04 UTC 
When the system (or Kate) crashes, all editor content is lost.
It would be great if Kate supported crash recovery, like most editors do, even console based ones, by continuously saving a hidden backup file on the fly in the background.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2017-08-23 11:34:43 UTC 
These automatic backups are called "Swap Files" in Kate. Please check options in Configure Kate > Open/Save > Advanced.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2017-09-17 15:18:00 UTC 
Did comment #1 help?
Comment 3 Gregor B. Rosenauer 2017-09-18 08:25:09 UTC 
thanks @Christoph_Feck didn't remember that one, seems I've overlooked the swap file then, the option is active.
