How can I "remind" Kate that I have set 'Window -> Hide Documents'?
I've set
it and saved it in the default session, but every time I reopen Kate, there's
that irritating document list.
I searched the forum archive, but though I've seen other folks complain about
the presence of the document list, all of the responses seem disinclined to
provide an actual solution to its presence. :-)

There seems to be something strange about kate's handling of default session
indeed. When you start kate with a pristine config dir it opens with new
session and side bar and document list shown. Kate does not seem to save the
settings for the default session, as you said. I tried and it didn't.
But with other sessions I created myself it works. I set option "save session"
on exit and when I open the session next time the document list is not shown
like I wanted.
Unfortunately I do nowhere see an option to set default session. However, it
appeared once, in an opening dialog to choose the session to open and there was
an switch to let kate always open that chosen session when starting. But I
can't reproduce that.
Default session seems to be "hardwired" and when you open kate with "new
session" it opens that one anyways. But you can save your own empty session
(without showing document list) and let kate choose that one instead when
starting.
After a little experimenting I found this workaround:
1) Start with pristine kate config dir
cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig}
2) Open kate with no arguments and close it
3) Open ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions/default.session with an editor and
change these options to "false" and save file.
Kate-MDI-Sidebar-Visible=false
Kate-MDI-ToolView-kate_filelist-Visible=false
4) Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the document
list.

Kate -> Settings -> Configure Kate -> Session: provides option for session

In particular if you choose "Manually choose session" you will be presented with
a dialog where to select the session to
use when you start Kate
The Session menus instead is where you can load/save sessions. Once you set up your Kate
window as you wish, use the
Session menu to save it to file.
In R14.1.x, session management will be different, with a new session panel available in
the GUI for easy operations on
different sessions. The Session menu will also be updated. Currently it looks as shown in
the attachment, although the
code has not yet been pushed to the main repo.
There will be more development on that when time allows. Probably the additional
functionality will end up in R14.2.x.

And there comes up again the option to permanently choose that session to be
opened by default. I did not try that because I was thinking it would only
choose the session for that one particular start-up of kate.
That is what I could not rediscover after it had appeared one time... Thanx.
So, the proposed "work-around" is obsolete ;-)

Settings > configure > sessions > save session (last-used saves open
docs, new session doesn't). I had not used that option because I find
the full feature filesystem browser really useful (docs hidden behind
it).
