Gedit is the default text editor in Gnome based GNU/Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora etc. It looks simple and it’s easy to use but it is also very powerful. It’s not just for simple text files – you can use it as a programming editor.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with python 2.7.3 and PyGObject and I'd like to develop plugins for Gedit in python. I found a simple looking tutorial for this sort of thing here.

According to the tutorial, I need the Gedit module to interact with the plugin interface:

from gi.repository import GObject, Gedit

I keep getting an import error when trying to import the Gedit module.

First post. Using Ubuntu for over a year now. Like it a LOT! :D

I was using 10.04 32-bit (with gedit 2) then switched to 12.04 32-bit (with gedit 3).

I use gedit for writing HTML and CSS. There is a plugin (gedit-plugins) called "snippets" which helps me a lot.

I am using ubuntu10.04LTS and have used gedit so far. I hear that xemacs is another powerful editor. Can anybody please point out if xemacs21 is better than gedit. I intend to use it mainly for writing text files, latex input files, and for writing c/c++ programs. Any other relevant points may also be suggested. Thanks.

I have been trying to install a gedit plugin called RunC to compile C programs using the text editor.

Although the instructions tell me to use ubuntu 9 or 10 for this, I'm currently running Fedora 16. I thought that I would not have much problems, but after running the shell script using the sh command to install the plugin, gedit showed no signs of the plugin being installed.
