For Darrell, if this could help:
kwrite is the éditor I use when I
simply just want a texte in an editor, even if I prefere
kate. There is
someone in the users's list that could use kwrite (with
firefox), too...
I use kwrite as well for quick and dirty editing of simple text files. :) I have the *.txt
mimetype associated with kwrite. I have all programming language mimetypes associated with
kate.
Firefox is unique in that the user has to specify the external editor to use. There is no
mimetype association per se like the files opened through konqueror. Changing that
external editor in Firefox to kwrite will open the web page in kwrite rather than kate.
For me that would result in the result in the same behavior: two editors open in two
different windows. :)
