Is there code folding in Gedit?

[tc101]

I read somewhere that gedit had code folding, but I can't find any documentation on it. Does it do code folding?

No =(

If you are looking for a code editor somewhere between gedit and anjuta check out geany (it's got code folding btw)

You know it's funny you bring this up. Although that wasn't a feature I was missing in Gedit, two features I was missing in Gedit were:

• selection of words where the word contains underscores (like in many C programs)
• Save All

I just, and I mean just, installed Anjuta tonight and got both those plus the code folding. I even set the font colors to what Gedit shows for familiarity reasons. If I were you I would definitely check out this Anjuta program. I'm finding it infinitely helpful.

Thanks for this Alex, I'm going to check this one out too.

I am going to check out geany. I am programming in python. Anjuta says it is for C++, which I don't know.

I've actually settled on Geany ... for now. I tried Anjuta but it's a little bit more than what I need. That and I didn't figure out the search-and-replace feature. Geany seems to be the most like what I remember EditPlus in the Win32 world to be.

The only feature Geany doesn't seem to have (correct me I'm wrong here), is that it doesn't allow you to change the colors of comments, quotes and things. Other than that it's quite to my liking.

However this is truly one of the best parts of Linux though isn't it? Don't like the editor you're using? Switch. There are like a gazillion options to choose from. And it's not like you're having to pick through the crap bin either. Most of the editors I've seen for Linux are heavy hitting professional quality grade tools.

Open /usr/share/geany/filetypes.xml and edit away.
You can adjust foreground / background colors and switch on/off bold and italic. You could even ad your own keywords if you so desired.

Color config dialog plz!!

That was my only gripe with Geany and a serious enough oversight on the author's part to go back to Gedit.

Whats wrong with editing a file by hand.

You could write a GUI front end for editing those files I guess.
Would be a nice little project for someone with some time to spare.
