Gedittools – a plug-in for gedit.
gepostet am 12.05.2010During the past few weeks I extended gedit by several little plug-ins that I needed to have for my daily developer work. Now, I merged all those to one single configurable plug-in called gedittools.
It comes along with the following features:
- XML highlighting: After a double click on a XML-tag, the complete tree inside the selected tag will be highlighted. Depending on depth different colors will be used.
- Selection highlighting: After a double click on any word, all occurrances of the selected word will be highlighted throughout the whole current document.
- Search selection count: After a double click on any word, all occurrances of the selected word will be counted and the sum will be displayed in the status bar of the document.
- Launch meld to compare files: A button is added to the toolbar of gedit to allow launching meld. Therefore a screen will be displayed: It allows selection of a file which will be compared to the current active file in gedit.
The plug-in is configurable: You can choose which plug-in you want to use. To make use of the meld launcher feature, an installation of meld is required. Refer to the README file for details.
If you want to use the plug-in, feel free to download it at github: http://github.com/mmuell23/mmuell23
To install from git:
git clone http://github.com/mmuell23/mmuell23.git cp -r mmuell23/gedittools/* ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
Activate plug-in in gedit preferences and configure it as you wish.
Install from zip File:
There is also a ZIP file, which will not (always) include latest bug fixes: Download as ZIP
Extract all files and copy to ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
Activate plug-in in gedit preferences and configure it as you wish.
