I don't see that Kate-part has to have the same key bindings as Kate, thus if
the KDevelop developers think there is a problem and they want Kate-part to
stop zooming with ctrl + scroll, I'm sure that they can find a solution
together with the kate developers.
Since there hasn't been an uprising perhaps some of the kdevelop developers
like the zoom function.

The issue is that mouse interactions are often unreliable on touch-input
devices -- especially in more complicated KDE apps that are based on Kate.

Right now I just pulled the latest version of KDevelop, which makes heavy use
of the Ctrl+ modifier during mouse operations (particularly when ctrl+clicking
on variables to follow them!)

On touch-input devices, when trying to do precision touch events -- scrolling
is often applied incorrectly when:

 -Performing precision single-finger gestures.
 -Moving into the edge regions of touchpads.
 -Dirty, Abused, or Disfunctional touchpads.
 -Owning a larger touch pad (i.e. gaming laptops / touch devices)

The problem is compounded with synthetic touchpad driver events (someone trying
to workaround this here -> https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120319/), which
give the gesture acceleration + deceleration long after the user tries to stop
the incorrect input.  This leads to having your Kate/KDevelop document look
like anything from the size of a breadcrumb -- to the size of Texas! =)

You're right that this deserves a central way of controlling this for editor
zooming, but in the absence of that, I'm going to have to patch this out of my
machine's kate binaries while using an otherwise perfect editor -- because it's
incredibly hard to use on touch devices without this!
