Install Gedit on Ubuntu 22.10 and Make it Default Text Editor
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
[GNOME has a brand new text editor][1] to replace the good old Gedit editor.
|
||
|
||
While it was already available with GNOME 42, Ubuntu 22.04 relied on Gedit.
|
||
|
||
This is changing in Ubuntu 22.10. GNOME Text Editor is the default here and Gedit is not even installed.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
While the new editor is good enough, not everyone would like it. This is especially if you use Gedit extensively with additional plugins.
|
||
|
||
If you are among those people, let me show you how to install Gedit on Ubuntu. I’ll also share how you can make it the default text editor.
|
||
|
||
### Install Gedit on Ubuntu
|
||
|
||
This is actually a no-brainer. While Gedit is not installed by default, it is still available in Ubuntu repositories.
|
||
|
||
So, all you have to do is to use the apt command to install it:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt install gedit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Gedit is also available in the software center but it is the snap package. You could install that if you want.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
#### Install Gedit Plugins (optional)
|
||
|
||
By default, Gedit gives you the option to access a few plugins. You can enable or disable the plugins from the menu->preference->plugins.
|
||
|
||
![Accessing plugins in Gedit][4]
|
||
|
||
You should see the available plugins here. The installed or in-use plugins are checked.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
However, you can take the plugin selection to the next level by installing the gedit-plugins meta package.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt install gedit-plugins
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will give you access to additional plugins like bookmarks, bracket completion, Python console and more.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
**Tip**: If you notice that Gedit looks a bit out of place for the lack of around bottom corners, you can install a GNOME extension called [Round Bottom Corner][7]. This will force round bottom corners for all applications including Gedit.
|
||
|
||
### Make Gedit the default text editor
|
||
|
||
Alright! So you have installed Gedit but the text files still open in GNOME Text Editor with double click action. To open a file with Gedit, you need to right click and then select the ‘open with’ option.
|
||
|
||
If you want Gedit to open text files all the time, you can set it as default.
|
||
|
||
Right click on a text file and go with “open with” option. Select Gedit here and enable the “Always use for this file type” option from the bottom.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Remove Gedit
|
||
|
||
Don’t feel Gedit is up to the mark? That’s rare, but I am not judging you. To remove Gedit from Ubuntu, use the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sudo apt remove gedit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You may also try uninstalling it from the software center.
|
||
|
||
### Conclusion
|
||
|
||
GNOME Text Editor is the next-gen, created-from-scratch editor that blends well with the new GNOME.
|
||
|
||
It’s good enough for simple text editing. However, Gedit has a plugin ecosystem that gives it more feature.
|
||
|
||
For those who use it extensively for coding and other stuff, installing Gedit is still an option in Ubuntu.
|
||
|
||
What about you? Will you stick with the default new text editor or would you go back to the good old Gedit?
