edit-and-execute-command ability (CTRL+X+E)
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.07.80
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
Hi,
BASH's shortcut CTRL+X+E evoke build-in functionality
"edit-and-execute-command", to open a text editor and easily edit the current
terminal input line.
It will open text editor firstly defined by a BASH's VISUAL variable. If VISUAL
is set to Kate, the window does open, with the title of the temporary file
/tmp/bash-fc.******, but the window do not contain terminal's current input
line. It is empty instead and the command in terminal is executed
**immediately** instead.
Next, I disabled all plugins in Kate and try again, but the same thing happens.
If VISUAL is set to KWrite, everything works just fine.
Next I tried to monitor the /tmp folder for changes and the following output
emerge:
$ gio monitor /tmp
