#GEDIT COMMAND LIST CODE#
The Python code is not compiled, so when doing refactorings in gedit core, good luck to port all the plugins (the Python code is also less “greppable” than C).” “If you take over gedit maintenance, you’ll need to deal with 4 programming languages (without counting the build system). Not that it’ll be an easy task for anyone stepping up to the maintainer role, as Wilmet goes on to point out: Why? “By making the code re-usable and putting it in a library, the code is shared among several applications, which means that it has a greater chance to be better maintained, and during a longer time,” he reasons. Currently enabling a plugin can make gedit to crash,” he explains.Īfter that he recommends porting the core of Gedit to Tepl, a library that makes the development of GtkSourceView-based text editors and IDEs easier, and making Gedit’s core features re-usable. “I think a high-priority issue is that there are no checks to see if a plugin is compatible with the gedit version. In a post to the Gedit mailing list earlier month GNOME developer Sébastien Wilmet shared some thoughts on the areas that a future maintainer should focus: Is it the best text editor for Linux? Probably not, but it fulfils its role as a functional, reliable bit of software, as an analog to Windows’ Notepad: as powerful or as basic as the person using it needs. Gedit has been the primary text editor for many, many Linux users over the year. Learning all available Git commands at once can be a daunting task. The erstwhile editor even suffers the indignity of being added to the graveyard section of the GNOME Wiki. This Git cheat sheet is a time saver when you forget a command or dont want to use help in the CLI. I didn’t until a reader mentioned it to me earlier today.īut, sure enough, if you skip over to Gedit page on the GNOME Wiki you can read that the project is “no longer maintained” and is “looking for new maintainers”. Gedit is the default text editor on Ubuntu and just about a bajillion other Linux distros - but did you know that it is no longer maintained?
