From writing a small document, editing a configuration file, or composing a webpage, <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> will fill your need. </P> <P> Starting <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> opens the <SPANCLASS="INTERFACE">Main window</SPAN>. <DIVCLASS="FIGURE"><ANAME="mainwindow-fig"></A><P><B>Figure 1. gedit Main Window</B></P> <P><IMGSRC="images/gedit.gif"></P> </DIV> From here you see the menu bar which has all the options and tools for <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN>. You also see the toolbar with all the basic commands you will probably use the most in <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN>. If you right-click on the text window, under the toolbar, a pop-up menu will appear displaying some common editing and file commands. </P> <P> <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">Gedit</SPAN> has plug-ins so you can send a quick email to a friend, lookup a webpage if you need help with your work, or produce a file that tells the difference between two other files, using the <BCLASS="COMMAND">diff</B> command. The shell output plugin inserts the output of any shell command into <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN>. <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">Gedit's</SPAN> plug-ins will let you insert the current time in your document, as it appears in <BCLASS="COMMAND">date</B>, insert the phrase <SPANCLASS="QUOTE">"Hello World"</SPAN> in your current document, reverse the letters in the current document you're editing, or convert a decimal number to either a hexidecimal or octal number <ANAME="AEN73"HREF="#FTN.AEN73">[1]</A> and back again. </P> <DIVCLASS="SECT2"><H2CLASS="SECT2"><ANAME="usage-commandline">Using gedit from the Command line</A></H2> <P> <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">Gedit</SPAN> can also be started from the command line, by typing <BCLASS="COMMAND">gedit</B> with the name of the file you want to edit. This will open a new <SPANCLASS="INTERFACE">Main Window</SPAN> of <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> with the file you typed in the command line. You can also open multiple files in <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> from the command line. You type <BCLASS="COMMAND">gedit</B> with each file's name, separated by a space, after the command <BCLASS="COMMAND">gedit</B>. So, to open the three files <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file1.txt</TT>, <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file2.txt</TT>, and <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file3.txt</TT>, you need to type <BCLASS="COMMAND">gedit</B> <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file1.txt</TT> <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file2.txt</TT> <TTCLASS="FILENAME">file3.txt</TT> in a terminal and <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> will open the three file listed above. This feature is very handy to quickly edit a configuration file or script while you are using your favorite shell. <DIVCLASS="NOTE"><BLOCKQUOTECLASS="NOTE"> <P><B>Note: </B> If you open a file using <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> from a <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN> and then kill the <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN>, the <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> you opened will also be killed. This happens because <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> is a child process of the <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN>, the parent process. In the Unix environment if you kill the parent process, all the child processes that are spawned by the parent process are killed. Killing all the <SPANCLASS="QUOTE">"children"</SPAN> of the parent process is very useful in a Unix environment. It's really okay if you don't understand the above explanation. Just remember if you open gedit in a <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN> and kill the <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN>, <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> will also be killed. </P> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> </P> <P> <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">Gedit</SPAN> also has support for pipes when you use it in a <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">console</SPAN> or <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN>. When you use a pipe with <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN>, on the command line, <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">Gedit</SPAN> is opened and the output of the other command that is piped to <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> is displayed as a text file in <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit's</SPAN> <SPANCLASS="INTERFACE">Main Window</SPAN>. For example if you want to display a listing of what files are in a specific directory using the <BCLASS="COMMAND">ls</B> command, you will type <BCLASS="COMMAND">ls</B> <BCLASS="COMMAND">|</B> <BCLASS="COMMAND">gedit</B>. <ANAME="AEN118"HREF="#FTN.AEN118">[2]</A> The output of <BCLASS="COMMAND">ls</B>, that is normally displayed on the <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">console</SPAN> or <SPANCLASS="SYSTEMITEM">X terminal</SPAN>, will be displayed in <SPANCLASS="APPLICATION">gedit</SPAN> as a new text file. This option is very useful for commands that display their output too fast or if you want to use the output in a text file. </P> </DIV> </DIV><H3CLASS="FOOTNOTES">Notes</H3><TABLEBORDER="0"CLASS="FOOTNOTES"WIDTH="100%"><TR><TDALIGN="LEFT"VALIGN="TOP"WIDTH="5%"><ANAME="FTN.AEN73"HREF="usage.html#AEN73">[1]</A></TD><TDALIGN="LEFT"VALIGN="TOP"WIDTH="95%"> <P> Decimal, hexidecimal, and octal numbers are number with a different base.
