I showed gedit plugins to my cat the other day and since then, I keep finding paw marks on my keyboard.

I use vim pretty heavily for editing code but I find it less useful for writing long paragraphs (like for LaTeX or raw HTML) because moving up or down with ‘k’ and ‘j’ become less intuitive with text wrapping. For those specific situations, I have found gedit to be a lifesaver.

I absolutely love the LaTeX plugin for gedit, btw.

Just try ‘vimtutor’. (It’s a command, enter it in a terminal.) It’s a text document with instructions on how to use vim, opened in vim. It shouldn’t take you much longer than around half an hour, and it’s a great way to get to know at least the basics.

Try “nano” That’s my favorite simple console text editor because it is very staight forward.

is there an console only editor that works like “normal” editors, such is Gedit?

Did you try pico editor?

Lately I’ve been looking at some vi(m) tutorials, and it looks like too much work tbh. Yes I know that all self-respecting Linux users just have to learn to use it, and eventually I will, but in the meantime, is there an console only editor that works like “normal” editors, such is Gedit?

PS. Great site, keep it up

Oh, I forgot, check out the Split View plugin too! I guess it is mentioned above, but only mentioned, so I give it my praise here.

One of my favorite plugins other than the built in plugin to indent/unindent multiple lines is the Regex Search & Replace plugin found on this page: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins Also the Web browser is a cool idea, although I don't use it much.

Oh, now I remember what I forgot to mention. I wanted to tease the Vim and Emacs fan in the article. No offense though, I am myself heavily into Vim and absolutely love it.
That said, both Vim and Emacs require great deal of learning and getting used to. A lot of people don’t want to get into learning something as simple as text editor so they give it up midway. The next best thing? Gedit with plugins!

I really wish there was a good plugin for code completion. Document word completion only goes so far..

If you’re trying to squeeze every last bit of power out of Gedit why not just use GVim or Emacs GUI which have much larger followings (but it’s pretty much either or if you go with one [No flip-floppers allowed!])

This was one of the great posts on Ubunutu?linux line.

Enjoyed it, specially since I was being tortured by JEdit for the shake of line numbers.(ha ha ha!)

I personally like Geany, but do use gedit occasionally (because of it’s good integration with gvfs and program ’smartness’).

gedit is certainly *the* editor I used on my Fedora. However, I am also hoping that its great team intends on making it as feature rich as Notepad++, a Windows-only product.

Gedit is one of my favorite tools in Linux and somehow you just made it better. I’m definitely going to have to try some of those, especially the laTex and class browser plugins.
