I am under Ubuntu 20.04.2, using kate 19.12.3. My toolbar looks like this

enter image description here

Is there any way to hide the text next to each icon in the toolbar?
Ideally, they would show as a tooltip, as in many other applications (at least in Windows... not that I am a fan of Win but in this the UI seems better). But otherwise, just show the icons.

I already used gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolbar-style 'icons' (source), and it doesn't work (I didn't expect it to).

You have to:

  1. launch Kate
  2. right mouse click on the Toolbar
  3. from Text Position select Icons Only

Comparison is below:

Text Position → Text Alongside Icons Text Position → Icons Only
with text without text

Note: Kate is the Qt-based application, so it is not controlled by gsettings / dconf.

  • Perfect! And with tooltips, so I take back my comparison with Windows. I searched the web, and I did not find this, I wonder how that happened. I know about Kate-Qt, that is why I said "I didn't expect it to". – sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio Jun 03 '21 at 12:13
