| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Common Edit Functions in gedit Text editor . |
| 00:08 | In this tutorial, we will learn about editing functions that we use frequently in gedit . |
| 00:15 | We will learn to:
Cut, Copy and Paste content Undo and Redo actions Search and Replace text. |
| 00:25 | We will also learn to Print our document. |
| 00:29 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system , gedit 3.10 |
| 00:39 | To follow this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any operating system. |
| 00:44 | Let's open the gedit Text editor . |
| 00:48 | Now open the file Students.txt which we created earlier. |
| 00:55 | Let’s do so by clicking the icon in the toolbar with the icon labelled Open. |
| 01:01 | This is the shortcut icon to open an existing file. |
| 01:06 | Open Files dialog box appears. |
| 01:09 | Select the Desktop folder on the right hand side. |
| 01:12 | Select the file Students.txt and click Open . |
| 01:17 | Now, let's learn how to cut, copy and paste the text. |
| 01:22 | First, we need to select the text that we want to cut or copy . |
| 01:27 | I want to cut the first three students details from this file. |
| 01:32 | To select the first three student details, click and drag the cursor across those three lines. |
| 01:39 | Now, the text is selected. |
| 01:42 | We can use the Cut icon in the Toolbar . Or From the Main menu, select Edit and Cut . |
| 01:51 | Alternately, we can press Ctrl + X keys together to cut the text. |
| 01:58 | Notice that the selected text is no longer visible in the file. |
| 02:03 | Please note, however, that this text is not deleted. |
| 02:08 | It is stored in a part of the computer's memory known as the clipboard . |
| 02:13 | The Clipboard stores content that is either cut or copied. |
| 02:18 | Content is stored temporarily until it is pasted or other content is copied. |
| 02:25 | Clipboard content is deleted from memory once you exit gedit . |
| 02:31 | Switch back to gedit . |
| 02:34 | Let us now paste this text in a new document. |
| 02:38 | From the Main menu, click File and New . |
| 02:42 | A new document named Untitled Document 1 opens in the gedit window. |
| 02:47 | Now, from the Main menu, select Edit and Paste . |
| 02:53 | Alternately, we can press Ctrl + V keys together to paste the text. |
| 03:00 | Or, use the Paste icon in the Toolbar . |
| 03:04 | The text from the Students dot txt gets pasted into this document. |
| 03:11 | Select the tab Students.txt . |
| 03:14 | Now, let's select the remaining students' details and make a copy of this. |
| 03:20 | From the Main menu, select Edit and Copy . |
| 03:24 | We can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C to copy the content. |
| 03:30 | Notice that the copied text is still visible. |
| 03:34 | This text is also stored in the clipboard . |
| 03:38 | Select the tab Untitled Document 1. |
| 03:42 | Place the cursor after the third line and press Enter . |
| 03:46 | Now, right-click for the context menu and select Paste . |
| 03:52 | The content is pasted in the specified location. |
| 03:56 | This is a simple and effective way to cut, copy and paste content in gedit . |
| 04:04 | Next we will see Undo and Redo options. |
| 04:07 | gedit Text editor allows to Undo any changes that are made in a file. |
| 04:13 | Basically, it erases the last change done to the document. |
| 04:18 | This is useful when you have made a mistake and want to Undo it. |
| 04:23 | The keyboard shortcut for Undo is Ctrl + Z . |
| 04:27 | The opposite of Undo is Redo . |
| 04:31 | The Redo command reverses the Undo action. |
| 04:35 | The keyboard shortcut for Redo is Shift + Ctrl + Z. |
| 04:41 | Now switch to gedit Text editor . |
| 04:44 | Right-click and select Undo . |
| 04:47 | The text that we copy and pasted, is no longer visible. |
| 04:52 | The copy-paste action has been undone. |
| 04:56 | Let’s undo once again. This time, press Ctrl + Z keys together. |
| 05:04 | We can see the cursor jumps back to the end of the third line. |
| 05:09 | The previous action has been undone now. |
| 05:13 | Right-click and select Undo again. |
| 05:17 | The first three lines that we pasted earlier are also no longer visible. |
| 05:23 | We can also use the Undo icon in the Toolbar . |
| 05:28 | This is how we can undo all the actions we did so far. |
| 05:34 | Now, how can we get back the text again? |
| 05:38 | Simple! Right-click and select Redo . |
| 05:42 | Let’s redo our action one more time. |
| 05:45 | This time let’s press Shift + Ctrl + Z keys. |
| 05:50 | We can also use the Redo icon in the Toolbar . |
| 05:55 | We got back the text again. |
| 05:57 | And now, we can see only the student details from Students.txt files is copied in our gedit window. |
| 06:06 | Next, we will see the Search and Replace options. |
| 06:10 | It’s difficult to search for a particular word in a file, that has hundred lines of text. |
| 06:17 | Search function allows to search for one or all instances of the word, in the entire document. |

| 07:41 | Again, place the cursor on the Find box and right-click the mouse .
Uncheck the Match Case option. |
| 07:50 | Now, from the Main menu, click Search and then on Replace . |
