Just did both. Seems I now have a single window/session. Much better than before. :) Yet now when I have Kate open and select a file from within Konqueror, the file opens in Kate but Kate will not snap to the front and gain focus.

I too am a heavy long term Kate user, if you are interested, over the years I have created a lot of utility scripts for Kate for use with the "Filter Text" command. If you want copies tell me how to send the collection to you and I will. They are mostly sed based scripts for manipulating large amounts of text inside Kate. RE: I changed the focus stealing prevention level from Low to None... Where or how do you do that? Somehow I never found that in all the years I used KDE. Keith
