Well, I can appreciate this kind of pickyness;)

It should be possible for katepart, connecting selectionChanged() to a slot 
setting the state of those actions. However, for kate, this requires a bit of 
work, as the editing actions in kate calls 
currentView->document()-><action>(), and setting their state on menu launch 
would require them to be reset at menu hide (as we uses the keyboard..).

This could actually be considered a flaw in the design of kate, as it don't 
use the actions of the active part directly.

I don't really know if it is worth working on this right now, as there is 
probably more important things to do. Cullmann?
