<title>A brief introduction to gedit</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<app>gedit</app> is an easy-to-use and general-purpose text editor. Its
|
|
development started in 1998, at the beginnings of the
|
|
<link href="https://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</link> project, with a good
|
|
integration with that desktop environment.

|
You can use it to write simple notes and documents, or you can enable more
|
|
advanced features that are useful for software development.

Once <app>gedit</app> launches, you can start writing right away. To save
|
|
your text, just click the <gui>Save</gui> button in the <app>gedit</app>
|
|
header bar.
