This 'feature' actually lost me data and took me hours to figure out. Just type
some notes, hit CTRL-N - that's how I've used kwrite for years. If you have the
tab bar disabled, your original 'file' is 'lost'. You will not be able to get
it back until you figure out what the heck is going on - I can't image a worse
UI disaster, tbh. I even logged out and logged in, thinking something had gone
horribly wrong. Of course, this resulted in the notes being lost unrecoverably
as kwrite doesn't save data rescue data of a file that hasn't been first named
(I know, it's a feature request, a big one if I may say so, why not just
restore all windows and data when I log in again?).
Anyhow, just a 'me too' here, we have Kate for tabs and I'm a happy user. I
need kwrite to satisfy my urge to quickly write down some notes in a separate
window I can put on another monitor, and then click the taskbar on kwrite to
see all my notes with the expose effect. Super handy - and now I regularly
accidentally hit CTRL-N to "open a new window" and then spend hours
frantically searching for the notes of that meeting I SWORE I wrote down but
it's invisible now... Hidden in ONE of my many kwrite windows as an invisible
tab. Horror ;-)
Please, devs, bring kwrite back, we already have Kate and one is great, but
also - enough.
