I greped through the source code, but it looks like there is nothing there
any more. Interestingly I found an antient klabtechrc that has setting for

Did you put that header line, [General], before the lines for Show Menu Bar &
Show Status Bar? It seems like those headers might be important.
And please disregard my lines of ###s, I just use that to set off quoted text
in an email when it is a very long passage.
Every so often, I find that those snips taken from older config files still
work in the newer TDE releases. (I probably shouldn't say that; those tricks
might go away!)
In any case, it *seems* like something like this ought to work, if only you
can find the right config file. There are also some with a different
extension, .kcfg, that I find in the newer releases, no longer plaintext
files but rather something like xml, maybe? In any case, I looked there:
/opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg
and on my machine (running Devuan Daedalus) there is no .kcfg file for kate.
Whether or not these can be modified by the ordinary user, I don't know. But
if so, it may be possible to write your own. There are .kcfg files for other
similar Trinity apps, such as kedit.
I haven't yet tried to modify these, don't know if it's possible, but I
believe maybe there, or by changing lines in another such -rc file, your
hopes can at last be fulfilled, all your dreams come true.
