Sorry if I was not clear: I use Scribes for writing text as in writing content in a minimal editor - not code or more than minimal markup.

I use Kae as my main text editor and Kwrite for files that I specifically want in a separate Window: for example when I open a file on a remote server in ssh I open it in Kwrite, so I do not confuse it with the local copy that I would open in Kate.

Do look into Kate, its my main tool and probably has the features you need.
