I wish for the Kate replace text popup to not be modal i.e. to not inhibit editing of the file opened in Kate while the replace text popup is present.
Sometimes you need to do some additional editing where the text to be replaced is found. Currently, what you do is first use replace and then find for the additional editing. If instead Kate allowed editing while the replace popup is present then you could avoid having to again use find for the additional editing and instead piggyback on the first find. This is how jEdit works. And it works pretty well (However, it does not capture a search string as Kate does by just resting the mouse on the word to be use in a find - as also MS VS does).
