When editing shell file in gedit, is there a way I could send current line (or selected block?) to terminal?
When learning Python I use Spyder IDE. It has an option to execute code selection or block in the console. Which I found very useful in learning what my scripts are doing step by step (or not doing ;).
Any chance to have something like that with gedit? Or any other text editor?
is an integrated development environment that provides good column editing support which is worth checking out (an example here)
Simply put, press down Alt+Shift instead of just Shift while making selections to invoke column mode. One important limitation is that the edits in column mode are (as yet) not undo-able.
To achieve the same with the mouse, hold down Ctrl while selecting. This actually works with most Scintilla-based editors (including SciTE and Geany).
This bug has not been fixed and I decided to switch to another text editor. I found Geany and it's great. It does not have the bug like that on gEdit.
So, I guess the solution is to switch to a new text editor until (or not) this bug is fixed.
As reported by August Karlstrom, The gEdit mouse bug was fixed when I disabled IBus as the default Keyboard Input System. Here's how you can disable it :
Open a terminal and do the command :
gnome-language-selector
A window named Language Support will open up. In the window, change the Keyboard input method system option to none instead of IBus and close the window.
The changes would only take effect after you restart (reboot) your computer.

unfortunately, gedit don't have this function... However, GNU Emacs has the function you want!
To install it you must type:
sudo apt-get install emacsAfter installed, you can create a new buffer (i.e., a new file). Depending on the file extension, the Emacs will change the menus to give you appropriate options...
For a simple test, you can create a new shell script file (with the extension ".sh"). After saving the file, a new menu "Sh-Script" will appear. This menu has two options related to your demand: "Execute Script..." and "Execute region".
I don't know what kind of files you want to use this functionality, but you can try to use Emacs!
