Features
For various program code and text markup formats, gedit includes syntax highlighting and GUI tabs for editing multiple files. Tabs can be moved between various windows as fitting for the coder. It can edit remote files by being implemented on the GVFS (GNOME VFS is now deprecated) libraries. It supports a full undo and redo system as well as search and replace.4 Other typical code oriented features include line numbering, bracket matching, text wrapping, current line highlighting and automatic file backup.4
Some advanced features of gedit include multilanguage spellchecking and a flexible plugin system allowing to dynamically add new features, for example snippets and integration with external applications including terminal.4
Architecture
Designed for the X Window System, gedit uses the GTK+ 2.0 and GNOME 2.0 libraries. The GNOME integration includes drag and drop between Nautilus, the GNOME file manager.
For documentation gedit uses the GNOME help system, virtual file system, and printing framework5, which allows printout previews, besides the GNOME standard printing system.
