Whoa, I never got that smart with Kate. I keep telling myself I'm going to force myself to one day sit and learn how to use reg expressions in Kate to do proper searches. I never knew I could use sed directly in Kate. I always did that from a terminal window.

Just send by email if you want.

Control Center, Desktop, Window Behavior, Advanced tab.

I submitted an enhancement request (Bug report 642) a few days ago to move the focus prevention option to the Focus tab. To me makes more sense there.
