As soon as KDevelop has some (simple) DCOP calls it will be possible to 
do it. In Quanta you can already do, but I suggest nobody to use Quanta 
for C++ development. See the attached file. KDevelop would need a way 
to provide the current file name and the current katepart buffer 
number. Providing the PID will be possible as I already ported most of 
the user action code from Quanta to KDevelop, so it will be possible to 
execute external scripts which modify the opened document.

Same here, KDevelop would need to provide a DCOP call with the name of 
the current method. It already has the information, so it is not hard 
to do.

For both of the above the alternative could be intelligent code snippets 
(abbreviations).

Shift-F12. If it find, switched to corresponding 
declaration/implementation. Unfortunately since some time Shift-F12 
does not work on my system, but if I assign another shortcut it works.

CTRL-D and CTRL-SHIFT-D. It is provided by the kate part.

It works.

Here you have to select first and use the above shortcuts.

CTRL-A and the above shortcuts.

SHIFT-END and DEL. Insert mode is default. ;-)

I don't know anything similar to it.

Block selection mode is activated by CTRL-SHIFT-B if that is what you 
mean.

I haven't used valgrind from KDevelop, but I used gdb a lot. What is 
wrong with it?

As I see many features are already there (of course, somewhat different) 
and most of the others can be implemented relative easily.
