Can someone familiar with gedit add it to Comparison of text editors??? I would, but I'm not knowledgeable enough with it to know those features. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deeahbz ( talk • contribs)
When programming your own extensions there are variables that can be called related to the file like $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH. Could we produce a table of all of them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.213.3.6 ( talk) 02:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, someone complained about the article written as an advertisement. I'm willing to rewrite the article a little, since I'll make some evaluation about rewriting the s/w gedit itself. But an {{Advert}} complaint should usually be matched by an explanation what's wrong on this talk page. So, now I'm asking: insert any specific complaints here, please!

As per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Citation_styles, shouldn't somebody change it to include Free Software Magazine, Andrew Min, etcetera? I would, but I don't know how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.5.119.44 ( talk) 17:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
If you use gedit, please feel free to put any of these on your user page!

OK, gedit is wide spread enough that some pros and cons might be appropriate for the article. (For my part it's a notepad that has too many facilities). But I'll see what I can find out there. Said: Rursus ( ☻) 09:06, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
This text has bumped in and out now and then:
I think such clauses do qualify for programs that is intended to fulfill some purposes, f.ex. programmers needs, even though the text editor can be used for example for other purposes as well. So I think it should be in the article, however not necessarily in the intro. Move it around, but don't shrink the article into informative void, please!

I'm new to Wikipedia, and I spotted this:
Since version 3.20 gedit uses gspell for spell checking.[13][14][14][15][14]
It seems a bit strange that citation 14 is repeated 3 times, is this a mistake or is this on purpose? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merlin04atschool ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
The official GNOME Wiki links to the Microsoft Store for the Windows version of gedit. That app was a paid app before. Regardless of that, the Microsoft Store says "gedit is currently not available.".

@ Ahunt:, I wanted to discuss this edit, because I'm not so sure the IP's change was wrong. GNOME Text Editor appears to be the default text editor for GNOME as of GNOME 42, according to the GNOME 42 release notes. It's also replaced Gedit on the list at GNOME Apps. To verify this I installed Fedora Workstation 36 in VirtualBox to test it out (Fedora 36 uses GNOME 42), and not only is GNOME Text Editor the default, the gedit package isn't even installed. I think the IP's edit maybe didn't even go far enough, I think it's fair to say that Gedit was the default up until GNOME 42, but that it's no longer the default. This is reflected in Ubuntu's package descriptions for Gedit that go from official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment to the more recent popular text editor for the GNOME desktop environment. - Aoidh ( talk) 00:08, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
