| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn about some default plugins in gedit Text editor such as-
|
| 00:23 | To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system gedit Text editor 3.10 |
| 00:34 | To follow this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any operating system. |
| 00:40 | Plugin is a software component that adds a specific feature to an application. |

| 00:49 | Let's open the gedit Text editor. |
| 00:53 | Some plugins are installed by default, in gedit Text editor. |
| 00:59 | To view the default plugins- from the Main menu, click Edit and Preferences. |
| 01:06 | In the Preferences dialog-box that appears, click on Plugins tab. |
| 01:12 | The list of default plugins that are installed is listed here. |
| 01:18 | Notice that some of the plugins are checked by default. |
| 01:23 | This indicates that they are enabled and we can use them. |
| 01:28 | If you don't see as many plugins on your editor as shown here, you can easily install them. |
| 01:36 | You can do so by using Ubuntu Software Center. |
| 01:40 | Click on the Close button of gedit Preferences box. |
| 01:45 | Now, click on the Dash Home icon at the top left corner of the computer desktop. |

| 02:03 | In the Search box, type gedit. |
| 02:07 | Click on the Text Editor icon. Then click on More Info. |
| 02:14 | Scroll down to see the Add-ons available for gedit Text editor. |

| 03:21 | Click on Close. |
| 03:24 | Once again, click Edit in the Menu bar. |
| 03:28 | We can see the plugins are added to our menu list. |
| 03:33 | Let me open a document Fruits.txt which I have already created. |
| 03:40 | The Fruits.txt file is available in the Codefile link along with this tutorial. |
| 03:48 | Download and use that text document. |
| 03:51 | Let us see how to increase or decrease the font size and change the background color in the document. |
| 03:59 | From the Menu bar, click Edit and Preferences. |
| 04:03 | Then click on the tab Font & Colors. |
| 04:08 | Uncheck the box “Use the system fixed width font”, if it is already checked. |
| 04:14 | Lastly, click on the Editor font button. |
| 04:18 | Here, we can see different font names. |
| 04:22 | Select the font name that you want to use. |
| 04:26 | At the bottom right, there is a minus or plus sign button. |
| 04:31 | This is used to increase or decrease the font size. |
| 04:36 | I'll increase the font size to 20. |
| 04:39 | Click Select button to set the font size. |
| 04:43 | To change the background color, click on Cobalt in the Color Scheme option. |
| 04:49 | Immediately, you can see the background color has changed to blue. |

| 04:58 | Then click on Close. |
| 05:01 | Next, let us see how the sort option works. |
| 05:05 | From the Main menu, click Edit and Sort. |
| 05:09 | The Sort dialog-box appears. |
| 05:12 | In our document, we have 'Oranges' typed twice. |
| 05:17 | Check the Remove duplicates box. |
| 05:20 | It will remove the duplicate words from the document, if any. |
| 05:25 | Check the Ignore case check-box also. |
| 05:29 | Now click on Sort. |
| 05:32 | Notice that the words in the list are now arranged in alphabetical order. |
| 05:38 | Also notice that the duplicate copy of the word Oranges is removed. |
| 05:44 | Next, let us see how to use the Change Case option. |

| 07:05 | Click Spelling Suggestions. |
| 07:08 | Select the correct word from the list. The spelling gets corrected now. |

| 07:24 | From the Main menu, select Tools and Check Spelling. |
| 07:29 | The Check Spelling dialog box appears, highlighting the misspelled words in the document. |
| 07:36 | It also displays the correct spelling. |

| 07:45 | Here, we have two misspelled words. Select the correct word and change it. |
| 07:51 | Click Close to exit. |
| 07:54 | Sometimes, we want to record the date and time, on which a particular file was created or modified. |
