I am not sure, whether this message went correctly to this group, so
reposting.

OK, I can try DCOP calls, but is there anywhere a commented list of all
available ones? How can I do with the DCOP calls this?

 <select-character-before-cursor>
 <cut-selection-to-some-temporary-variable> (OK, I would settle
  for <cut-selection-to-clipboard>, but I prefer the
  former)
 <move-cursor-one-character-forward>
 <paste-character-from-temporary-variable>
 <move-cursor-one-character-backward>

Moreover, how can I attach this script to key shortcut (<Ctrl-T>)? I know
something about DCOP (as indicated by the Kate script attached to the
original message in this thread), but lack of documentation is something
which impedes my attempts a lot.

The same as for DCOP -- how to do the above shown commands with Kommander?

That is the question and same probably applies to Kommander? Any thoughts on
that?

A child can go only so far in life without potty training.  It is not
mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty
trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators.
