To open a file in gedit, click the Open button, or
press CtrlO.
This will cause the Open dialog to appear. Use your mouse
or keyboard to select the file that you wish to open, and then click
Open. The file that you've selected will open in a new tab.
To close the Open dialog without opening a file, click
Cancel.
You can use the Ctrl and Shift
keys to open more than one file at a time. If you hold down the
Ctrl key while you select multiple files, clicking Open
will open each of the files that you have selected.
Holding down the Shift while you select multiple files will
open the first file that you select, the last file that you select, and all
of the files in between.
