For whatever reason (could be it's faster) he wants to use the embedded text
viewer. I like it like that also.

I don't know what you mean by kpart, but konqueror already has an embedded
text viewer. I use it. It can't scroll down when you press space. That might
be a nice thing to have so that's why we suggest a wishlist bug is filed
against it.
Personally I would hate to use KWrite for this since it is slow to start up,
especially when you keep in mind that konqueror is already running and can
display text files just fine. Also most users rarely look at source codes in
the text viewer, so having syntax highlighting is pretty useless.
