I am using Firefox 2.5.24 with Trinity 3.5.12 and Kate will not work
at all if I set the editor in the Web Extensions addon using it's
options.
I either got an error message saying it will not start or nothing
happened if I only used the full path: /opt/kde3/bin/kate.
So, I typed about:config in the address bar and when it's window came
up I typed editor in the search bar.
This brought up several options and I changed these options to this
configuration:
View_source.editor.args user set string -u
View_source.editor.external user set boolean true
View_source.editor.path user set string /opt/kde3/bin/kate
After doing that Firefox and Kate worked exactly like you want.
I personally don't want to have the web page appear in a kate instance
that I am already working in, so after testing I removed the -u
I was like you orginally, in that I did not like sessions either.
Mostly what I did not like was that you had to start out using a
session--even if it was only a blank default session--and it always
asked you what session you wanted on startup. I didn't want a
session, I didn't want to be asked about one, I wanted a blank kate
window. Then later, if I wanted to make it a session--I would save it
as such.
After a lot of hammering, screaming and kicking I got it to work the
way I wanted. Now that sessions work "my way" I use sessions heavily
and like them a lot. So please don't make them go away...

> Any ideas
how to fix this?
Seconded.
In general, Can I force kate to ONLY use one window?
we need a way to always to it :-)
I presume you can duplicate the problem?
There also is the problem of Kate not correctly grabbing focus (bug report 692).
To me Kate has been broken since moving away from a multiple document interface (MDI) to
a single document interface (SDI). I don't know how much work is needed to revert to
the older code or whether there is sufficient interest among users to motivate us to
investigate.
The MDI to SDI change occurred after 3.4.3. That means 3.5.0 introduced the confounded
Kate sessions and the SDI.
I have all of the 3.4.3 code. Reverting back also would mean restoring the simpler and
more effective Projects rather than sessions.
Is anybody interested?
