…but I liked restricting kate to a single session. For one thing, it meant that I could bring up the instance of Kate I was using with its appropriate KDE keyboard shortcut (such as CTRL+ALT+K), rather than Alt-tabbing my way through a program list. For another, it meant I could type
$ find . -type f | grep [pattern] | xargs kate
into a console to open every file matching that pattern in an existing Kate session. Wonderful little tool, but since I upgraded Kubuntu to Dapper yesterday, apparently it’s no longer useful.
This is all very well...
