The key sequence approach was a (local) user wish.

For the configuration of how a specific script is called, I'll then use a 
dialog where the user can either enter a key sequence or a regular shortcut. 
The shortcut configuration will be less sophisticated than in KShortcutDialog 
though. (the user can still use the normal configuration dialog to have 
advanced configuration options)

Oh, that would also have been a nice idea ! :-) But this morning, I found a 
different solution: one can bypass the katepart save function by reconnecting 
the save action to a different slot. So, it works now and I'll also do some 
cleanup of the functions that check whether the selected file name is valid.

By the way, is the space character still problematic for LaTeX file names ? 
Otherwise that character could be removed from the containsInvalidCharacters 
method in kdocumentinfo.cpp. (in FC5, it works nicely with spaces in file 
names).
