Bug ID: 417654
Summary: use Qt docks instead of custom-made sidebars
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@doxos.eu
Target Milestone: ---
Kate (and kdevelop) currently uses KMultiTabBar-based sidebars which don't
behave like normal docks and suffer from several issues:
* they cannot be dragged&dropped to detach, attach, move left/right/up/down;
instead, they have context menu specifying their position;
* detached docks don't repaint (with non-compositing WM at least), which might
be a separate bug;
* they use (HIG-questionable?) vertically rotated text for side areas;
The wish is to move to standard Qt docks as used in other apps such as
Paraview, Krita, FreeCAD and numerous others.
