<p>All these mechanisms allow to change "current" config settings, but not their default values, as far as I can see. Passing options to createView would also allow it, e.g., to control which actions should be created. Kile has to delete some actions after creating a view at the moment, which could be avoided. But that's another discussion.</p>

<p>I support this idea, but one should maybe also think about whether some settings could be better read/saved using read/writeSessionConfig. "showLineNumbers" could fall into that category.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R39 KTextEditor</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11838">https://phabricator.kde.org/D11838</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Kate, KTextEditor, dhaumann, mludwig<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aacid, acrouthamel, brauch, mludwig, kfunk, dhaumann, Frameworks, michaelh, kevinapavew, ngraham, demsking, cullmann, sars<br /></div>
