  • Undo/Redo
  • Editing files from remote locations
  • File reverting
  • Print and print preview support
  • Clipboard support (cut/copy/paste)
  • Search and replace

  • Auto indentation
  • Text wrapping
  • Line numbers
  • Right margin
  • Current line highlighting
  • Bracket matching
  • Backup files
  • Configurable fonts and colors

gedit features also a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically add new advanced features to gedit itself.

    Simple solid editor. Does not try and do everything like some editors. I have been a happy user for a number of years. The only feature I would like is a multi file search, but that can be done outside.
