redhat - Gedit: can search results be put into a list?
2014-07
Is it possible to run a search on a file with gedit and have each line where there is a hit displayed "below" somewhere in a list?
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:
