You might approach this wishlist bug from the point of view of "I would like
KWrite to page-down when spacebar is pressed in read-only mode". I am not
familiar with the KWrite code, but I have a feeling that would be a simpler
and more elegant solution (and more likely to be implemented) than writing a
whole new kpart. (Plus this way you would get to have syntax highlighting
and other nice kwrite features in your "text viewer").
