gedit roadmap
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
This page contains the plans for major code changes we hope to get done in the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Take care and fix the common bugs
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **in progress**
|
|
|
|
See the list in the [common-bugs.md](common-bugs.md) file.
|
|
|
|
Continue to make the gedit source code more re-usable
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **in progress** (this is an ongoing effort)
|
|
|
|
Develop and use the [Gedit Technology](https://gedit-technology.github.io/) set
|
|
of libraries.
|
|
|
|
Rework the search & replace UI
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **todo**
|
|
|
|
Have an horizontal bar, to not occlude the text.
|
|
|
|
Be able to quit the application with all documents saved, and restored on next start
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **todo**
|
|
|
|
Even for unsaved and untitled files, be able to quit gedit, restart it later and
|
|
come back to the previous state with all tabs restored.
|
|
|
|
Improve the workflow for printing to paper
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **todo**
|
|
|
|
Show first a preview of the file to print and do the configuration from there.
|
|
|
|
Use native file chooser dialog windows (GtkFileChooserNative)
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **todo**
|
|
|
|
To have the native file chooser on MS Windows, and use the Flatpak portal.
|
|
|
|
This task requires to rework the file loading and saving code. To have a
|
|
different - but still user-friendly - way to choose the character encoding and
|
|
line ending type.
|
|
|
|
Avoid the need for gedit forks
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Status: **todo**
|
|
|
|
There are several forks of gedit available: [Pluma](https://github.com/mate-desktop/pluma)
|
|
(from the MATE desktop environment) and [xed](https://github.com/linuxmint/xed)
|
|
(from the Linux Mint distribution). xed is a fork of Pluma, and Pluma is a fork
|
|
of gedit.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to make gedit suitable for MATE and Linux Mint. This can be
|
|
implemented by adding a “gedit-classic” configuration option. Or implement it
|
|
similarly to LibreOffice, to give the user a choice between several UI
|
|
paradigms.
