Kate - Source code section for lines range on the scrollbar

[disquisitiones]

Hi Kåre,

I found this configuration but looks like there is no such option available

And this option here I think reloads the file but has no effect on the
keyboard focus, that remains on the output window.

That's why I was thinking about modifying Kate to have that.

Let me know if I'm wrong and actually the setting is somewhere else.

Thanks!

Luca
