When searching in Kate/KWrite/KEdit/etc., the dialog window opens by default in the
middle of the text window, hiding potential matches. If, in the 'Find' dialog
window,
one clicks on the left icon in the application's menu bar and go to Advanced =>
'Special
window settings' and enables 'Placement', 'Force', 'Under
Mouse' in the Geometry tab,
then goes to the Window tab and changes 'Window class' to 'Unimportant'
(and makes sure
that 'Window role' is 'searchdialog'), the Find window will then open
centered on
wherever the cursor is placed, instead of the middle of the text window.
