GEDIT is a tool used to write and save text files. you can write programs of any type and save by ts extension using this GEDIT. Instead of using VIM or VI, we can use GEDIT because it provides us with beautiful user interface.
The options which are not enabled for us previously are :-
- Auto Indentation.
- Bracket Matching.
- Highlighting of current line.
- Display line numbers.
- Auto saving of the file.
All the above things are not provided for the user previously. So to enable all these fantastic features, we have to do little modification by which all the above things can be enabled.
Here are the steps to carry out :-
- Press Alt+F2. This will open up the “Run Application”.
- Type gconf-editor and click on “Run”.
- Goto /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor
