Kai, Thank you. I do have Appearance > Application Style > Widget Style > Breeze > Configure... > General -> Keyboard accelerator visibility: Show Keyboard Acceler|* selected and they accelerators do Not show in kate find/replace.

Default should show all the time since you cannot read the setting dialog in System Settings due to clipping. When you look at the default as it is, it makes it look like it is set to show the accelerators. When I opened the dialog, I saw the setting as being: 'Show Keyboard Acceler' When the actual setting is: 'Show Keybo...hen Needed' Those 'html'ized drop boxes are crap. You cannot read the settings no matter how small your text size is. All you see when you drop down the list is: 'Always Hide ...Accelerators' 'Show Keybo...hen Needed' 'Always Show...ccelerators' And the default appearance of the drop-box unexpanded is: 'Show Keyboard Acceler' which makes it appear they are set to 'Show' It is only after you resize the dialog horizontally that you can actually read the full text of the settings: 'Always Hide Keyboard Accelerators' 'Show Keyboard Accelerators When Needed' 'Always Show Keyboard Accelerators' I never like using more real-estate, but that dialog needs to be expanded by default so that the settings are readable. What does it take to do that in the code? I've built kde3/qt3 hundreds of times, but I've never tried building the new qt5 (or whatever the reacquired/new Trolltech is calling it) nor built kde5 or FW5 (whatever the proper acronym is). Do you know what part of the code that would live in now? In the old days it was kdebase/kcontrol, would it still be in the same location? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
