linux - Gedit: is it possible to have a split screen?
2014-07
I'm on RHEL 6.5
Are there "standard" ( available from mainstream repositories ) Gedit plugins for giving Gedit the ability to have split windows - seeing the same file, but in two different windows.
Thanks
Steve
I've installed GEdit, but I find it quite unusable for programming purposes, which plugins are useful for such thing? (e.g.: to enable auto indentation, auto completion, ...)
One of the thins I'm missing is having the line number in a column in the left side, is that possible with GEdit?
Thank you very much.
You can install an additional bundle of plugins by running this:
sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
The most convienient one that adds is the Snippets plugin.
You can have the lines in the left side by navigating to Edit -> Preferences and checking off Display Line Numbers. Additional plugins can be grabbed here and configured under Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins Tab.
You can grab Auto Indent here and Auto Complete here.
Here's a shot of preferences for reference:
Gedit Symbols Browser plugin is a must as well:
