Multi-edit Update: 1.1 released

This update contains lots of important bug fixes, so make sure you update! The most important being a bug that causes gedit to redraw much more frequently than it should, creating a delay when editing large files (apologies!, but now fixed). The following are the most noticeable changes, but the full details can be found in the release notes.

  • Redraw bug fix (significant improvement in speed)
  • Column mode shortcuts are now configurable
    • For the people that miss their Ctrl+Shift select
    • Default keys changed to Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+' (+Shift for end of line)
    • If you liked the previous shortcuts, just change the values to s+Up, s+Left etc.
  • Resolved conflicts with some plugins (e.g. Smart Spaces)

The usage guide has been updated for information on these new features.

Get Multi-edit 1.1!

    Big question with not a lot of hope, any change of you porting the plugin to Geany?

    I use geany more because it has better indenting features and a better search (regex, search across all open files, etc.).

    Geany seems like a nice editor, but unfortunately it doesn’t support Python plugins and uses a different text widget. So it would be a rewrite rather than a port.

    But the good news is that I have those same problems. I’m actually going to be releasing a find and replace command line tool soon, that traverses files and directories, with regex support. Not a gedit plugin, though easily called from the intergrated terminal.

    A smarter indentation plugin is on my list too, as well as better double-click selection (that_also_selects_underscores!).

    Mannn! Big thank you! This plugin is just awesome! I was a TextEditor user too, but i’ve to adhere to linux powers and the lack of it in gedit make me sad!
    Anyway, cheers from Rio de Janeiro.
    Thanks

    I am having a problem with the install. I extracted the file to ./gnome2/gedit/plugins. It created a folder “multi-edit” and under that folder there is another folder by the same name and a file named “multi-edit.gedit-plugin”. I moved this file into the main plugins folder. Now when i try to activate the plugin under preferences, it just goes grey?

    Hi, the “multi_edit” folder should be placed directly in the plugins folder, like the “multi_edit.gedit-plugin” file.
    So:
    ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/multi_edit/
    Instead of:
    ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/multi_edit/multi_edit/

    Hope that helps :)
