Hi, I just noticed the inline configuration dialog was removed recently[1], I really liked this feature and wanted to know if having this behavior back as an option would be possible? It made it much easier to switch between configuration and editing as the inline dialog could stay open while editing since it didn't grab focus, which saved me a lot of time for things like working on an LSP server config or changing formatting options. I'm really sad that feature was removed without keeping it as an option, and would love to see it back into my favorite editor. Also can't say that enough: thanks a lot for working on Kate, it's an amazing program, with or without that feature. Cheers! [1]: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/merge_requests/1119
I don't think it really makes sense to have that configurable, but perhaps other devs have a different opinion.
If it was as simple as just adding a checkbox which would change the behaviour, I'd do it in a sec, but its more complex as one needs to fix layouting issues etc when the dialog is not a dialog anymore
It is more work then a simple checkbox and I think one can live with the current state.
