Devs, Is there an option to enable the floating search/replace dialogs for kate/kwrite? The current search/replace dialogs bound to the bottom of the window do no respect the last used tab sequence making it a pain to re-apply the same search/replace sequence to different parts of the open document. Further, while you can tab through and "highlight" the various buttons and inputs (which takes mashing tab about 8 times to get to "Replace All"), there is no way to cause the button to actually activate by pressing the "Enter" key.
With the floating dialogs, they were smart enough to remember the last used action and the tab-sequences was much simpler. Further, the last used action was respected making re-applying the prior search/replace with a RE a simple matter of 'ctrl+r' tab 'RE' return Now I can't get the replace to work at all without taking my hands off the keyboard, grabbing the mouse and physically clicking on enter. (then reset/re-positions hands on keyboard). Is there a way I can either activate the old floating dialogs, or set the tab sequence and remember last and have "Enter" actually execute the search/replace? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
