Does this mean to have the behaviour of the original kwrite? I mean can
kdevelop have own behaviour and key-bindings for some things?
For instance copy'n'paste by mouse-selection is awful in the original
kwrite but much better in kdevelop's version of kwrite. Or a second
example: Double-click on a word doesn't mark the whole word as selected
in kwrite but fortunatelly it works in kdevelop.
All in all, kwrite itself is a mess, kdevelop's adapted version is supi!
And I don't like to get it worse, you know...
