I have a simple mind, so I have an equally simple requirement for Kate... when
I click on a text file in konqueror, I want kate to open with only one pane:
the edit pane showing the contents of the file on which I clicked.
I am sure it used to work exactly this way, but somehow it seems that my
configuration now is wrong: what happens now when kate opens is that there is
an extra pane on the left hand side, containing the names of several
recently-edited files. I suspect, given the amount of time that kate is now
taking to open, that kate is actually reading those files into memory. I don't
want any of that to happen: I want just a clean view of the contents of the
file I want to edit.
I'm sure it's a simple thing to fix, but I've wasted a ridiculous amount of
time trying to figure out, without success, how to change the configuration so
that kate doesn't occupy screen space with a list of recently-edited files.
So if someone can give me the magic configuration item(s) to change, I would
very much appreciate it.

Hi Doc,
is it possible that the solution is: "Set as the default editor kwrite
instead of kate"?

Possibly. I've never used it before. So I just tried it and couldn't see how
to do the first thing I wanted to do: split the screen :-(
Doubtless there's a way to do that, but I couldn't find anything to tell me
how. (The kwrite handbook is silent on the topic.)
So that doesn't bode well for using kwrite instead of kate.

Sounds like a Kate session. By default, Kate saves sessions and loads
them on application start. You can change it to always start a new
session on launch under 'Configure Kate... > Application > Sessions'.
You should also select 'Do not save sessions' on the exit behavior on
the same page.

Explicitly:

2. kate opens, with the sidebar;
3. remove sidebar;
4. close kate.
Sometime later...
5. in konqueror, click on a text file;

Attached is the complete katerc configuration file as it currently exists on

I am still very confused about what you mean by "default session". But the

The config image looks correct
All I can advise is that AFTER closing the sidebar, MANUALLY save the session
(sessions, save) close Kate, then open it again. The sidebar should remain
closed.
If the sidebar remains open there is a glitch somewhere.
the only other thing I can think of is to actually name the session - to see
if for some reason - that would make a difference (sessions, save as)
other than that it is just a case of closing the sidebar each time

I also tried the following in an attempt to finesse the lack of an option to

Starting from the same original configuration:
1. Open blank kate.

2. Change session configuration to: "Ask user".
3. Remove sidebar.
4. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Save".
5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good.
6. Change Session configuration to: do not save.
Logically, then, if I now close and re-open kate, it will open with no
sidebar, as no new session will be stored during the exit, and re-opening kate
should therefore be exactly the same as in step 5.
7. File | Quit.
No dialogue box. Good. When this step concludes, I reckon that I should
be in exactly the same state as at the end of step 4, as no new session has

7. Check that session configuration says "Load last-used session". It does.
8. File | Quit
Kate immediately quits, with no questions.
9. Open blank kate.

So at what step did I do something different from what you think I should do?

has always been
confusing (at least for you and me).
If you Click on Sessions => Select Session > how many sessions do you
see?
One (called "Unnamed").
In the image you posted, 'Behavior on
Application Exit or Session
Switch' at the bottom is set to 'Do not save session'; perhaps, though
you have created a new session, your session info was not saved into
it? You could change that to 'Ask user' to see if that helps.
I did that, and it changed things, although not really a help:
With "Do not save session" selected:
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Change session configuration to: "Ask user".
3. Remove sidebar.
4. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Save".
---
5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good. But...
6. Type some text.
7. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the file.
I select yes, and give it a filename.
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Delete". Now that you know that the session is recording
that, you can change
'Ask user' to 'Save session' (it really means 'Re-save session')
and it
will remember it forever. 'Load last-used session' and 'Save session'
will do what you want.
OK, so, going back to the initial configuration, I execute:
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Change session configuration to: "Ask user".
3. Remove sidebar.
4. File | Quit
Asks me whether to save the session; click "Save".
5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good.
6. Change session configuration to "Save Session".
7. Check that session configuration says "Load last-used session". It does.
8. File | Quit
Kate immediately quits, with no questions.
9. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
So at what step did I do something different from what you think I should
do?

I think you have to, after removing the sidebar, set Sessions => Save As,
with a new name, e.g. 'NoSidebar' before doing File => Quit. Then that will
be the session loaded the next time, since you have 'Load last-used session'
active when you quit.
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Remove sidebar.
3. set Sessions => Save As
saves as "nosidebar"
4. File | Quit
5. Open blank kate.
No sidebar. Good.
6. Type some text.
7. Save as "testfile".
8. File Quit
9. Open blank kate
Side bar is present, with the word "testfile" in it.
Also, the editing area isn't blank; it contains the text of testfile.

How very strange. I'm afraid I have no more ideas about this.

BUT which session did you open?? (see below)
All I can advise is that AFTER closing the
sidebar, MANUALLY save the
session (sessions, save) close Kate, then open it again. The sidebar
should remain closed.
At the "Sessions | Save" point, after closing the sidebar, I am prompted
for a session name, which suggests that I will no longer have just one
session.
But I gave it a name anyway. Then I closed kate. Then opened kate again.
And the sidebar was still present.

There is only 1 thing I can advise.
You need to read about Kate's sessions. They are in integral aspect of Kate.
Finally, open Kate, using the menu, choose the 'new' session which you named,
just to check if *that* session has the sidebar showing
Good luck!

Is that a rhetorical question? If not, I don't understand what you are asking.
There is only one session (the unnamed session), so that must be the session
that is opened.
If I execute "Sessions | Save As" and create a named session, then exit and
restart, there is still only the "Unnamed" session in the "Sessions |
Select
session" list.

Where do I do that? I've tried (and tried), and can't find anything that is
complete, unambiguous and correct.

'new' session which you named,

I can't choose the new session; the only session in the "select sessions"
list
is still the "Unnamed" session.
In other words:
1. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
2. Remove sidebar.
3. Save session, giving it the name "Fred".
4. File | Quit.
5. Open blank kate.
This has a sidebar with "Untitled" in it.
6. Look at "Sessions | Select session"
There is only one entry, called "Unnamed"
