Gedit – Is There Code Folding for gedit?

• Code Folding

  The plugin throws an error on the command line when you try to fold. But it may be something a good Python programmer could fix in five minutes.

  Apparently code folding is slated to be supported by gedit natively eventually.

• Pylint

  The one reference to a plugin I found pointed to a bzr branch that no longer exists.

• Splitview

  I don't use it much, but it does a good enough job for me.

• Spell Check

  The plugin should be enabled by default. Use Tools > Autocheck Spelling to turn it on.

• Whitespace Removal

  Removes unnecessary whitespace on saving a file.

• Regex Search and Replace:

  Extract to your plugins directory, enable, and use Tools > Regex Search & Replace.

• Others:

  The gedit-plugins package comes with some handy plugins. You should check that out.

I believe you need to install a dummy package to fool the system into believing the distribution's Tex system is installed, one of the best instructions I have seen to do this is here: http://blogs.ethz.ch/ubuntu/2011/03/14/tex-live-2010-installation/ , it is for Texlive 2010 but just make the modifications to suite your version and platform and it will work.

It essentially means using the equivs package to build the dummy package, for you to install, you still need to install tex-common texinfo and lmodern, perl-tk` is used by the Texlive update system GUI Implementation so if you want to run tlmgr with a Gui you should install it.
