gedit-plugins

If you're a gedit user and you're looking for some extra functionality, you might want to give gedit-plugins a try. This set of plugins can enhance your gedit experience by adding some useful features. Installation is straightforward, but there's one detail to keep in mind: for the moment, you have to configure gedit-plugins with the same prefix that you used for gedit. This means you need to run the ./configure command with the --prefix option and specify the appropriate value.

Once you have gedit-plugins up and running, you can choose which plugins to install. You can do this by running the ./configure command with the --with-plugins option, followed by a comma-separated list of plugins you want to include. Here are the available plugins:

- bracketcompletion: automatically adds closing brackets.
- charmap: insert special characters by clicking on them.
- codecomment: comment and uncomment blocks of code.
- colorpicker: pick a color and insert its hexadecimal representation.
- joinlines: join several lines or split long ones.
- showtabbar: add a menu entry to show/hide the tabbar.
- smartspaces: forget you're not using tabulations.
- terminal: embed a terminal in the bottom pane.
- all: all of the above plugins.

With these plugins, you can make gedit more powerful and tailored to your needs. Give them a try and see if they improve your workflow!
