+ // The --use parameter forces Kate to use a single session window to host

+ // resolves that problem. For whatever reason the hide call is needed
+ // before the raise and show otherwise the snippet fails. Some extra glue
+ // might be needed. With Kate open:
+ // "Right-click" on the title bar
+ // Select Advanced
+ // Select Special Application Settings (Not Special Window Settings)
+ // Select the Workarounds tab
+ // Enable the Focus stealing prevention check box
+ // Select the Force option
+ // Select the None option
