Plug-ins

There are many plugins that come with gedit. They are meant to extend and enhance the abilities of gedit. The plugins are separate from the main program and thus supplement gedit while only adding the capabilities and size to gedit that you want.

When gedit starts, you will see in the Plugins menu a menu item for each of the installed plugins. You need to open the Manager to choose which plugins you want to enable in gedit. The plugin manager lets you choose only the plugins you want to use. You will notice only the plugins you install will be shown in the Plugin menu. Click on which plugin you want to install, in the left window, and then press the Add button. This will install one plugin in gedit and put the plugin in the Plugin menu, so you can run the plugin. If you want to install all the plugins, just press the Add All button. To uninstall a plugin in gedit, click on the plugin you want to uninstall, in the right window, and press the Remove button. If you want to disable all the plugins, just press the Remove All button.
