> We have sessions, projects and bookmarks. Try those instead.

About Bookmarks:
1. They are very hard to find.
2. After you found them and you add one, there's no feedback letting you know
that you sucessfully added one and where you can find it.
3. They don't work if you don't open the same file, so just opening Kate
doesn't show them and doesn't let you go the normal place where you found them.
4. If there's a sudden power loss or battery gets empty and the computer is not
shut down normally, the last bookmark you added is not saved.

Personally I like to just open Kate and work on a few files that I have in
different folders scattered in my Home folder and the only way to do that
quickly is to find the files in the "Recent Documents and Projects" section.
If I cleared that section because it had too many files in the view and it was
annoying, then I have to start over finding them again one by one to populate
that section.
It would be nice if we could make some of them as Favorites, another section
compared to the "Recent Documents and Projects" one.

Not everyone wants to go and use something potentially more advanced such as
sessions or projects just for some scattered files.
I think this is again similar to the different wallpapers for different
workspaces that many people have asked for and the developers just tried to
push them to the more advanced Activities which they don't want to get into.

And there's also the privacy problem.
I for example would want to maximize my privacy so that when I use Kate to show
other people something, either directly at the computer or by streaming the
screen, I would like to not have any "Recent Documents and Projects", but still
be able to open some files fast, which a Favorites section would allow me to
do.

About sessions:
1. I don't know on which file I will work each day, so there is not much point
of remembering and reopening all of them from last time.
2. As for remembering the configuration, I haven't change much from the default
and what I changed is already remembered.
3. I don't see how this would replace my need of having favorite files to be
able to open quickly.
