The default behaviour of kate seems to have changed between 4.3 and 4.4. Have a look at "kate --help": > -n, --new Force start of a new kate instance (is > ignored if start is used and another kate instance already has the > given session opened), forced if no parameters and no URLs are given > at all > > [...] > > -u, --use Reuse existing Kate instance; default, only > for compatibility So "kate" starts a new instance, "kate somefile" reuses an existing instance, "kate -n somefile" forces start of a new kate instance. As documented, -u is default behaviour, the option is only left for compatibility reasons. Does that answer your question?
