You might approach this wishlist bug from the point of view of "I would like KWrite to page-down when spacebar is pressed in read-only mode". I am not familiar with the KWrite code, but I have a feeling that would be a simpler and more elegant solution (and more likely to be implemented) than writing a whole new kpart. (Plus this way you would get to have syntax highlighting and other nice kwrite features in your "text viewer"). -- Nathaniel W. Turner http://www.houseofnate.net/ Tel: +1 508 579 1948 (mobile)
