SUMMARY After the welcome screen update for KWrite my first question was how to get rid of it since I only use it as notepad for quick edits and the welcome screen is more interaction than I need and actually want. It took some time and this reddit post to know how to change it: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/zy2alp/i_dislike_the_new_way_kate_opens_a_welcome_screen/ I have no idea how this setting is labled in english, but at the bottom of the welcome screen you can turn it off with a simple toggle. The setting is labled as "In neuem Fenster anzeigen" (en: Show in new Window). I had no idea what that setting would change so I left it. I wouldn't expect this to toggle the welcome screen since the text doesn't directly link the toggle with the welcome screen in my opinion. There could be a small explanation below the toggle that tells you what this toggle does and maybe it should be renamed to something like "Show Welcome Screen". (Again: No idea how this is labled in english) The explanation could be: Start with this Welcome Screen instead of a new document. There could also be a note that it can be changed in the settings of KWrite later on. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KWrite with "Show welcome view for new window=true"
