General Information =================== This is version 3.18.3 of gedit. gedit is a small and lightweight UTF-8 text editor for the GNOME environment. gedit is part of GNOME and uses the latest GTK+ and GNOME libraries. Complete GNOME integration is featured, with support for Drag and Drop (DnD) from Nautilus (the GNOME file manager), the use of the GNOME help system, the Virtual File System GVfs and the GTK+ print framework. gedit uses a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), which lets you edit more than one document at the same time. gedit supports most standard editing features, plus several not found in your average text editor (plugins being the most notable of these). The gedit core is written in the C language. Thanks to GObject introspection, plugins may also be written in other languages, like Vala and Python. Although new features are always under development, currently gedit has: * Complete support for UTF-8 text * Syntax highlighting * Support for editing remote files * Search and replace * Printing and Print Previewing Support * File Revert * A complete preferences interface * Configurable Plugin system, with optional python support Some of the plugins, packaged and installed with gedit include, among others: * Word count * Spell checker * File Browser * Automatic snippet expansion * Sort * Insert Date/Time * External Tools * Tag list Other external plugins are also available. gedit is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later, see the file 'COPYING' for more information. The official web site is: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit You can download the latest gedit tarball from: https://download.gnome.org/sources/gedit/ Information about gedit mailing lists can be found at https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gedit-list Installation ============ gedit requires GTK+ >= 3.16, GtkSourceView >= 3.18 and libpeas >= 1.14.1 libraries. It also has a run-time dependency on an icon theme for its icons. If gedit fails to display icons, installing GNOME's default adwaita-icon-theme is a simple way of providing them. PyGobject 3.0.x and gobject-introspection 0.9.0 are required to enable python plugins support. Simple install procedure: % tar Jxf gedit-3.18.3.tar.xz # unpack the sources % cd gedit-3.18.3 # change to the toplevel directory % ./configure # run the `configure' script % make # build gedit [ Become root if necessary ] % make install # install gedit See the file 'INSTALL' for more detailed information. How to report bugs ================== Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/ReportingBugs Patches ======= Patches should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment to that bug report. Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch, and attach the patch to that bug report. Please create patches with the git format-patch command.
