Question

I've just discovered the power of gedit thanks to all of the plugins that are available for it.

Edit > Preferences > Plugins

Which plugin could you not live without?

Answer 1

Class Browser Plugin

You will need to have exuberant-ctags installed to get this working.

sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags

Answer 2

Gemini saves me a lot of time.

But I'd also be pretty unhappy without Eddt.

Answer 3

File Browser. Being able to jump between files really fast is very helpful.

Answer 4

"Indent Lines" is probably my first place (which is a shame, because any other "programmer's editor has that built-in).

Answer 5

My second place is "Advanced Bookmarks" (or rather, the forked version with support for Alt+PgUp / Alt+PgDown).

Answer 6

External Tools integrating plugin is nice. Allows you to Execute external commands and shell scripts

Answer 7

Auto Tab is cool. It will adjust your indentation settings automatically according to what settings are used most commonly in the current file, so if 4 spaces are used for indentation in the file, then the indentation feature will use 4 spaces.

It will similarly adapt to tabs, 2 space indentation, 3 spaces, and 8 spaces. It is extremely useful when editing source code from either differing programming languages, or differing opinions on what should constitute an indent.

Answer 8

I prefer snippets. It's the easiest way to write a simple plugin~
