gedit
gedit is a small and
lightweight text editor for the GNOME
environment.
Complete GNOME
integration is provided, with support for Drag and Drop (DnD) from Nautilus
(the GNOME
file manager), the use of the GNOME
help system, the GNOME
Virtual File System and the GNOME
print framework.
gedit uses a Multiple Document Interface (MDI), which lets you
edit more than one document at the same time.
gedit supports most standard editing features, plus several
not found in your average text editor (plugins being the most notable
of these).
gedit plugins may also be written in the Python
scripting language: to enable python support you need the pygtk and
gnome-python-desktop bindings. Included plugins: Word count, Spell
checker, Change case of selected text, file browser, sort, tag list,
insert date/time, and shell out. Other external plugins are
also available.
