I think you'll find the current kwrite works as you want it. Give it a whirl 
and see.

But Bernd's right. If there's problems in kwrite, then that's the ideal place 
for them to be fixed, rather than forking it.

It'll be some work, trying to get an editor part into kdevelop, but adding to 
and maintaining our own local kwrite was a lot of work the last time that I'd 
rather not repeat. And when(if?) there is a kvim part then we _really_ start 
to win if we sucessfully do this work now.
