Hi,

is there a usability maintainer for kwrite? Or should I post the
following as a report?

- In kwrite 2.0 (KDE 2.1.2) I miss the keys Ctrl-Ins, Shift-Del, 
Shift-Ins for copy, cut and paste as work in earlier versions. 
These are keys which I have in my fingers, not in my minds.

- There are just few user defined key definitions. As I understand
it could have to do with the integration in Quanta and Kdevelop.
Is anyone familiar with the good (twelve years) old PE2, it's internal
.keydefs file and it's simple macro language? Some ideas of this 
editor have a unreachabled usability.

- Quanta and Kdevelop don't use the same kwrite, but other
versions, at least in my installation (SuSE 7.2). It seems to me
kmail uses kwrite too, but also in a different style.

- The commands 'Key definitions', 'Arranging toolbar' and 
'Highlighting' could be part of the 'Arranging kwrite' dialog.
(Sorry, I translate the german commands to english, because I
can't install an english KDE - seems to be bug of the SuSE 7.2
Distribution).
Quanta and Kdevelop should use this dialog too. When they don't
need an entry (Arranging toolbar) it should be possible to deactivate
this one (or not to import the class?).
On the other hand, they can use more and smaller toolbars.

- Highlighting should be possible not only for C, HTML and so
on, but also for user defined file extensions (is it MIME type
text/plain?). Also in highlighting of C/C++ I would like to define my
own keywords in addition to the highlighted ones.

Possibly, some of these points are distribution depending, I'm really
not happy with SuSE 7.2. Downloading and compiling some apps 
is no problem, downloading the whole KDE on the other hand
needs more than six hours with my modem and compiling a night. 
No matter, probably there is no other way.

Thomas
