GNOME Text Editor is the default here and Gedit is not even installed. + +![Searching for text editor only brings GNOME Text Editor][2] + +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. + +![Gedit is also available in Ubuntu’s Snap Store][3] + +#### 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. + +![See the available and installed plugins in Gedit][5] + +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. + +![Additional Gedit plugins][6] + +**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. + +![Set Gedit as the default text editor][8] + +### 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? + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/install-gedit-ubuntu/ + +作者：[Abhishek Prakash][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/gnome-text-editor/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/text-editor-ubuntu.png +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/install-gedit-from-ubuntu-software-center.png +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/access-plugins-in-gedit.png +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/plugins-in-gedit.png +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/additional-plugins-gedit.png +[7]: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5237/rounded-window-corners/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/set-gedit-default.png
