I accidentally changed some of Kate's default color schemes. How do I set them back to default? I tried reinstalling (including with the option to remove config files) but it kept my changes.

The file you need to remove, or edit if you prefer, is: kateschemearc, which is usually located in a folder like $HOME/.config/ (the name of your .kde file may be .kde4 or something similar).

Remove that file and all default colour schemes are restored.

  • That file doesn't exist. There is no `~/.kde`, and `~/.kde4/share/config` has no `kateschemarc`, so anything starting with `kate`. Where else should I look? – PyRulez Jun 25 '15 at 17:44

    How about a find command: find ~ -type f -iname "*katesche*rc*" – Klaatu von Schlacker Jun 25 '15 at 22:16
  • I found it in both `~/.kde4` and `~/.kde`, and deleted both. That fixed it. – orodbhen Jun 03 '16 at 15:18

    I found none of these files throughout my whole home. I deleted `~/.kde/share/config/katerc` but to no avail. Actually, the file was `~/.config/kateschemarc`, note the missing e. For finding it use this instead: `find ~ -type f -name "katesche*"` – xeruf May 07 '18 at 14:03
