SUMMARY Kate doesn't load remote .kateconfig files. For local projects there seems to be no problem, a .kateconfig file is found several directories upwards of the edited file and the settings are applied. If I move that entire project including the .kateconfig file to a remote machine and access it via kio_sftp, the settings in the .kateconfig are not read or ignored. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Place a .kateconfig file in a remote location 2. Open a remote file under the location from step 1, for example via kio_sftp OBSERVED RESULT Settings in the .kateconfig file are ignored / not applied EXPECTED RESULT Settings in the .kateconfig file are applied.

Created attachment 117336 [details] Read .kateconfig on remote locations (kio) This patch does the trick for me.
Alex, thanks for the patch. Please add it to https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/diff/create/
Actually, I would only like to have this optional and per default off. Otherwise that is a nice thing to have.
Hi, if this is still wanted, please provide some patch with an option to trigger this. I think this should if we want it be default off, as extensive remote access isn't wanted per default. We use now GitLab, here some hints how to provide a contribution https://kate-editor.org/post/2020/2020-07-18-contributing-via-gitlab-merge-requests/
