| 00:25 | To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system, gedit 3.10 |
| 00:36 | To follow this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any operating system. |
| 00:42 | First we will see how to install gedit Text Editor . |
| 00:47 | You can find instructions on how to install gedit Text Editor on Windows , by visiting the link shown. |
| 00:56 | gedit Text Editor i s preinstalled in Ubuntu Linux OS . |
| 01:02 | It can be installed on Ubuntu Linux using Ubuntu Software Centre . |
| 01:08 | For more details on Ubuntu Software Centre , refer to the 'Linux' spoken tutorials on our website. |
| 01:15 | gedit Text Editor is already preinstalled in my system. |
| 01:20 | Now let us open gedit Text Editor . |
| 01:24 | Click Dash Home on the top left corner of the computer desktop. |
| 01:29 | n the Search box, type gedit . The text Editor icon appears. Click on it. |
| 01:37 | This will open a new gedit Text Editor window. |
| 01:41 | Alternately, you can open Text Editor using the Terminal . |
| 01:47 | I will close this window now. |
| 01:50 | To open a Terminal , press the CTRL+ALT + T keys together. |
| 01:56 | Type gedit and press Enter . |
| 02:00 | A new gedit Text Editor window opens. |
| 02:04 | The top most bar with all the menus is called the Menu bar . |
| 02:09 | Next is the Tool bar , which contains the most commonly used menus, in icon form. |
| 02:16 | The display area is where all activities such as typing, editing takes place. |
| 02:23 | You can see a tab named Untitled Document 1. |
| 02:28 | This is the default name given by gedit Text Editor to the newly opened document. |
| 02:35 | In the text area, let us type Welcome to Spoken Tutorial . |
| 02:42 | Below this, we will type some more text as shown here. |
| 02:48 | Now, in the tab , you can see an asterisk next to the name of the file. |
| 02:54 | This means that the file is not yet saved. |
| 02:59 | The bottom bar is the Status bar, which displays information about the current activity. |
| 03:06 | The Status bar displays the cursor position with respect to line number and column number. |
| 03:13 | It also displays whether the mode is overwrite or insert. |
| 03:19 | By default, it is in INS , that is insert mode . |
| 03:24 | We will learn about the other two later on. |
| 03:28 | Now let us see how to save the file. |
| 03:31 | For this, click on the File option in the Menu bar and then on Save . |
| 03:37 | The Save dialog box opens up. I’ll type the filename as Students.txt |
| 03:45 | Choose the destination where you want to save the file. |
| 03:49 | I'll select Desktop . |
| 03:52 | Click on the Save button. |
| 03:55 | Notice that the saved filename is now displayed in the tab. |
| 04:01 | Also, notice that the asterisk has disappeared. |
| 04:06 | Now let us close this file. |
| 04:09 | Click File in the Menu bar and select Close. |
| 04:14 | We can insert new files into the window by clicking File and New . |
| 04:21 | Alternately, you can click the icon in the Toolbar with plus sign. |
| 04:27 | Now let us see how to open an existing document. |
| 04:31 | Click File in the Menu bar and select Open . |
| 04:36 | Select the file Students.txt from the Desktop folder where we had saved the file previously. |
| 04:44 | Click on the Open button. |
| 04:47 | Now we will add few more student details. |
| 04:52 | It is a good practice to save the file frequently.This avoids loss of data if there is a power cut or system crash. |
| 05:02 | Auto save option can be used to save a file automatically, in a specified time interval. |
| 05:09 | Let us see how to use the auto save option. |
| 05:14 | Click Edit in the Menu bar . Then click Preferences . |
| 05:19 | gedit Preferences dialog box appears. |
| 05:23 | Click the Editor tab at the top of the window. |
| 05:27 | Under the File Saving option, check the Autosave files checkbox. |
| 05:33 | And in the minutes box, enter 2. Click on Close . |
| 05:39 | Now our files will get auto saved after every 2 minutes. |
| 05:44 | You can continue with your typing as it saves automatically. |
| 05:49 | Otherwise, you can click on the icon in the Toolbar with down arrow to save the changes. |
| 05:56 | Lastly, to exit the gedit Text Editor window, click on File and Quit. |
