First I thought it would be very complicated to offer an option for different views. But later I recognized that the standing cursor also appears in the single view. So, if an option would exist to disable the standing cursor for the single view, that would mean that there would be automatically no standing cursor in multiple views. Possible solution for the settings In the Settings, in Configure Kate..., in Appearance, in General, there could be a checkbox with a text like: disable the highlighted line & the standing cursor when the editor view is not in focus or even two check boxes with something like this (would be maybe the best solution): disable the highlighted line when the editor view is not in focus disable the standing cursor when the editor view is not in focus or first just only this: disable the standing cursor when the editor view is not in focus -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
