This is a bug, and not a wish!
I came here today because I wanted to file a bug about exactly this totally 
unexpected behavior of Kate and first searched if it is already reported. It is 
reported 5 times, exactly this or a closely related bad behavior, the first 
reports dating back to the year 2011 and 2013. Calling it a wish because 
someone might by chance find some hidden workaround is not helpful for the 
user. The repeated reports clearly show this. Classifying it a wish might be 
good to fake the statistics about KDE software related bugs to look better, 
though. But calling it a wish does not resolve the bad behavior and only pushes 
it deeper into the state of "will never be cared for". As you can read, upon 
reading the last comment, my mood changed from "Hmmm, I should spent some time 
to write a helpful bug report" to "I like KDE PLASMA and will continue to use 
it, but it might be better to not expect the KDE applications to receive 
support and before even loosing time to write a bug report simply stay with 
other solutions, like in this case Geany". However, as I have the other report 
numbers already at hand, here they are:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268913   (this one, from 2011!)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319396   (from 2013)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342057   (from 2014)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332949   (from 2014)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382906   (from 2017)
I wanted to write all this from those 5 reports in my own bug report, but as 
all this is already reported, I should not do so. Now I am unsure. Maybe I have 
to report it as a new bug, so that after so many years this strange and not 
expected behavior once might receive attention.
I am using on Debian 9.5 (currently the stable Debian edition):
Kate 16.08.3
KDE Frameworks 5.28.0
Qt 5.7.1 (built against 5.7.1)
The xcb windowing system
