Getting the 'windows keys' to work in KDE the easy way
Roll on three and a bit years, to KDE SC 4.10. The underlying keyboard setting required is the same these days, but the developers have hidden it in a different place in System Settings. Nowadays you have to go to Input Devices > Layouts and tick the Configure layouts box. I then deleted the 'us' keyboard which was listed there, and clicked the Add button. An Add Layout dialogue window appeared, from which I chose 'English (UK)' as layout, and 'English (UK, extended WinKeys)' as the variant. Apply, and then you can assign keyboard shortcuts to one, other or both winkeys / super keys.Posted 02-17-2013 at 09:42 PM by trevorparsons

I also found that the file was still Read Only even after extending the limit.
If I renamed the file and opened it with the new limit then I could edit it. It seems that once Kate has marked a particular file "read only" it keeps it that way.
To edit the file under its original name, edit the file (but not using Kate!) ~/.kde/share/apps/kate/metainfos. Search the file for the affected file name's metadata and change "ReadWrite=false" to "ReadWrite=true".
If you have saved the file in a session then also make the cahnge to the file under the sessions directory.Posted 05-15-2012 at 05:09 AM by simonb

No idea how to get around the .tex file problem, sorry mogliii.
Your suggestions for warning dialogs sound sensible.Posted 03-24-2012 at 08:13 PM by trevorparsons

Kate and Phil
Hi,
I just stumbled over the exact same reason. Kate 3.7.97, KDE 4.8, Kubuntu 11.10
I wanted to edit a .tex file. But after increasing the limit in Settings -> Save/Load to 2048 and later to even 100'000 it still wouldn't let me edit the file. The longest line I could spot in the file is just below 2000 characters. I only got the error message once, now it just opens R/O without any comment.
I feel very strange about this limitation. It would be far more sensible to issue a warning but open for editing anyway, and then on save ask again if lines should be broken (optionally!).
Any hint how to open my file for editing with Kate?Posted 03-06-2012 at 05:22 AM by mogliii

More hidden Gnome configurability
Yet more thanks go to the great and good tp
I was truly bamboozled everytime I hit the letter "i" in Nautilus a new Tab appeared!! Perplexed and bamboozled when I wanted to edit any file name to something containing the letter "i" ... yet another Tab!!
Off I went ferretting (aka scroogl-ing, (sadly no more as of 01 July, 2010) and ixquick-ing) about the interweb and bumped into gconf-editor but the 'can_change_accels' didn't "hit me in th eye".
I have since added "gconf-editor" to my Gnome Preferences Menu for easier access. I did this by right-click in the Gnome menu, selected "Edit Menus" and scrolled to and selected the "Preferences" and then clicked "New Item" and completed the dialogue box as follows:
Type: Application
Name: Gnome Configurator
Command: gconf-editor
Comment: Edit Gnome configuration parameters
Then I clicked close and voila!Posted 07-04-2010 at 09:58 AM by dom3lmr
