Forwarded from Anders Lund kate development:
You can have Kate reuse an instance by adding "-u" (or "--use" to the
command line. For usage from within KDE, for example konqueror, edit the
properties for the Kate application.
You can read more in the online help (help:/kate) and at Kates website
at www.kate-editor.org
---- Added by me -----
In kde, just open menu editor, select kate and add --use to the command
line after "kate %U". The command line will read: "kate %U --use"
Works like a charm!
