Kate is (only) a text editor (an awesome one) but it has a ton of options plus a number of plugins, so its hard to know all of it well. How do use the Kate text editor?

Does it make any sense to contribute to KDE lately, now that all that's "cool" is being moved in the cloud? It seems like these guys are in need of some contributors and I was wondering whether it's a good C++ code base to learn from and gain experience or it's better to get involved in something that has more momentum ? ...
Hello, I am able to create keyboard shortcuts for Ctrl-F1 and Ctrl-F2, making them launch a script, using the Control Center interface, Input Actions section. The platform of interest is KDE 3.5 on CentOS 5 at present, but 4.x is also of less immediate interest. What I need, however, is to create the same shortcuts from a shell script, ...
I have a Motif-based notepad-like legacy application. I would like the modeless "Find/Replace" dialog (which is a Motif TopLevelShell) to always stay on top of the other windows of my application, but not on top of other applications. I don't see any Motif-specific setting to do this. KDE allows me to set window-specific behavior, but ...

I've created a .desktop file which launches this script, and set: Command: $PWD/myapp.sh Work path: $PWD However, $PWD prints my home directory when I launch the .desktop file, resulting in attempting to launch ~/myapp.sh rather than ~/Development/build-director...
How do I get correct colors associated with my KDE or Gnome profile on Linux? java.awt.SystemColor seems to give me root (?) account colors, at least colors definitions doesn't match my settings (whereas on Windows everything is fine). Are there any APIs that let me access current user's Window Manager color settings from Java? ...

I like the transparency effect on Konsole, but when I'm in vim I need to focus and it can be distracting. Is there a way to dynamically turn the transparency on and off, depending on whether my current window is in vim? Maybe I could run a script in place of vim that looks like this: set konsole transparency off; vim; set konsole transp...

From my understanding, the X server is what makes all the visuals possible, and atop that there are the various UI environments like KDE, Gnome and others.
