Adding yet another way to configure KTextEditor sounds like a bad idea. All these mechanisms allow to change "current" config settings, but not their default values, as far as I can see. Passing options to createView would also allow it, e.g., to control which actions should be created. Kile has to delete some actions after creating a view at the moment, which could be avoided. But that's another discussion. > If at all, the only clear way is to let an application decide to not share settings with other KTextEditor applications. E.g. KTextEditor::Editor::setUseSharedConfig(bool share). I support this idea, but one should maybe also think about whether some settings could be better read/saved using read/writeSessionConfig. "showLineNumbers" could fall into that category.
