Installing a gedit plugin on Fedora

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – 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. I've made sure that gedit is updated to the current release. Is there something I'm missing from this installation? Additionally, does the file structure of various distributions differ greatly from each other? Will sc (HowTos)

Stories similar to Installing a gedit plugin on Fedora

I just ran into a problem with the snippets plugin of gedit 3.4.1 running on Ubuntu 12.04. The problem is that the snippets plugin stops working (i. e., doesn't react to keyboard shortcuts and tab-completion) when a file has an encoding other than UTF-8, e. g. ISO-8859-1.

Hi all,

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 need the code folding property in gedit, and I found online a folding.gedit-plugin online, but it never works. My gedit is of version 3.2.1, and it is said that the plugin folding.gedit-plugin was made for 2.x version only.

So is there a code folding plugin for gedit of version 3.2.1? Thanks!

We have already talked about a web-based collaborative editing tool today, Etherpad. So, after that I started looking for some native linux applications which do the same thing and came across Gobby and a new collaboration plugin for Gedit.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10

This seems to be an easy question, yet I cannot find an answer anywhere.

On pre-unity Ubuntu, I was using gedit-zoom plugin to zoom text in editor window in/out, either with Ctrl + +/- or by holding Ctrl and scrolling a wheel on mouse.

The same plugin does not seem to work in Ubuntu 11.10.

Any way I can get text zooming capability?

Thanks in advance, Greg

Install Regex plugin for Gedit 40 weeks 2 days ago

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.I want to install Regex Search and Replace plugin for Gedit.So can some one please tell me where can I get it and install it.Any help and suggestions will be highly appreciable.

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.

In Part One about Gedit I covered three neat plugins to make it more productive and user friendly. More recently, I discovered another plugin that I simply couldn't ignore. The good news is that it really is cool; the not so good news is that the plugin is not available from the repositories, there is no PPA and no third-party stand-alone binary (yet).

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.
