| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Handling tabs in gedit Text editor. |
| 00:04 | In this tutorial, we will learn to:
Add, move, re-order and close tabs |
| 00:13 | Use the Side Panel to browse and open files |
| 00:19 | Insert line numbers and
Wrap text. |
| 00:22 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system gedit 3.10 |
| 00:32 | To follow this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any operating system. |
| 00:38 | Let's open the gedit Text editor. |
| 00:42 | By default, the gedit Text editor has one tab named as Untitled Document 1. |
| 00:49 | Now, pause the tutorial and type the following code as displayed on the screen. |
| 00:56 | This is a program in C language. |
| 00:58 | Let us save the program. |
| 01:01 | Press Ctrl + S keys simultaneously on the keyboard. |
| 01:06 | In the Save dialog-box, enter the name as sample dot c. |
| 01:11 | The extension ‘c’ indicates that it is a C language program. |
| 01:16 | Select the folder where you want to save the file. |
| 01:20 | I will select Desktop and then click on Save button. |
| 01:25 | The tab name has changed to sample dot c. |
| 01:29 | Did you notice the various colors in the program after you saved the file? |
| 01:35 | This is because gedit Text editor recognizes the typed code as a C program. |
| 01:42 | We will learn more about syntax highlighting in later tutorials. |
| 01:47 | Also, notice the status bar which has changed to 'C'. |
| 01:52 | We can see that the window name has also changed to sample dot c. |
| 01:57 | To add a new tab, from the Main menu, click File and New. |
| 02:04 | A new tab named Untitled Document 1 is created to the right of the document sample.c. |
| 02:12 | Again, the title at the top of the window has changed to Untitled Document 1. |
| 02:18 | So, the name of the active tab is displayed as the title of the window. |
| 02:23 | Now, let’s learn another way to open a new tab. |
| 02:27 | Click on the New icon in the toolbar. |
| 02:31 | Another tab Untitled Document 2 has been created. |
| 02:35 | The numbering of tabs begins at 1 and increments by 1 for each new tab that is opened. |
| 02:43 | That’s why this tab is numbered 2. |
| 02:47 | In a similar way, let's create two more new documents. |
| 02:52 | Now, we have a total of 5 tabs including sample.c. |
| 02:58 | How do we navigate through these tabs? |
| 03:01 | Notice, there is a triangular button on both ends of the tab bar. |
| 03:07 | You can use these buttons to navigate through the tabs. |
| 03:12 | Let's click on the left triangular button till the document sample.c is visible. |
| 03:19 | How do we close the tabs? This is very simple. |
| 03:22 | From the Main menu, click File and Close. |
| 03:27 | Alternately, you can simply click on the 'X' button on the tab. |
| 03:32 | Let's close the Untitled Document 2 and 3 in this manner. |
| 03:39 | So, we are left with sample dot c, Untitled Document 1 and Untitled Document 4. |
| 03:47 | Now, let's add two more new documents. |
| 03:52 | These two new tabs are named as Untitled Document 2 and 3. |
| 03:57 | The documents are numbered or ordered as shown here. |
| 04:03 | The ordering may be different in lower versions of gedit. |
| 04:08 | Such differences in versions will happen and the learner should be prepared to handle these. |
| 04:15 | Let's rearrange the tabs now. |
| 04:18 | First, select Untitled Document1. |
| 04:21 | Press the left mouse button and drop it to the left of the file sample.c. |
| 04:27 | Release the left mouse-button. |
| 04:30 | The tab is rearranged. |
| 04:33 | In the same manner, let us rearrange the tab 2 and 4. |
| 04:38 | Next, let's learn to move a tab to another window. |
| 04:42 | First, select the tab sample.c which we want to move. |
| 04:47 | Then, right-click on the tab and select 'Move to New Window'. |
| 04:52 | sample.c opens in a new window. |
| 04:56 | Let's switch from sample.c to the other window with the Untitled Documents. |
| 05:02 | Go to the Main menu and click View and Side Panel. |
| 05:07 | The Side Panel opens up on the left side of the window. |
| 05:12 | You can view the names of all the documents in the side panel. |
| 05:17 | It is in the same order in which they appear on the window panel. |
| 05:22 | In the side panel, click on the Untitled Document 2. |
| 05:27 | That document becomes active now. |
| 05:31 | Let us rearrange the document in the gedit Text editor window as we did before. |
| 05:37 | Let’s click on the tab Untitled Document 4. |
| 05:40 | Click, drag and drop the file after the last tab. |
| 05:46 | Notice that the document order has now changed in the side panel, too. |
| 05:52 | To close the side panel, simply click the 'X' button on the top right. |
| 05:58 | Let's learn how to go to a specific line number in the gedit Text editor file. |
| 06:04 | Switch to sample.c file. |
| 06:07 | From the Main menu, click Search and Go to Line. |
| 06:12 | The Go to Line dialog-box appears on the top right corner of the gedit Text editor window. |
| 06:20 | In the dialog-box, enter the number 8 and press the Enter key. |
| 06:26 | The cursor jumps to line 8. We can also see the line number as 8 in the status bar. |
| 06:33 | But, it will be easy to locate the cursor if the line number is displayed along with the text. |
| 06:40 | To display the line numbers of the code, from the Main menu, select Edit and Preferences. |
| 06:47 | gedit Preferences dialog-box appears. |
| 06:50 | Click the View tab. |
| 06:52 | Put a checkmark on Display line numbers option. |
| 06:56 | Put a checkmark on Highlight current line option. Click on the Close button. |
| 07:04 | Notice that the line numbers are displayed to the right of the code. |
| 07:09 | Also, the line on which your cursor is displayed is in bold. |
| 07:14 | Next we will learn about text wrapping. |
| 07:18 | A line of code in a program may exceed the length of the gedit Text editor window. |
| 07:24 | So, it becomes difficult to read the entire line of the text. |
| 07:29 | Text wrapping helps to wrap the text within the size of the window. |
| 07:34 | Switch back to the sample.c program. |
| 07:37 | From the Main menu, click Edit and then Preferences. |
| 07:43 | Notice that the option Enable text wrapping is checked by default. |
| 07:50 | Uncheck this box. Click on the Close button. |
| 07:55 | Let me add a line of code at the end of the program. |
| 08:00 | Notice that the length of the text has exceeded the size of the window. |
| 08:05 | Now, let's check the option Enable text wrapping. |
| 08:10 | The text has been neatly wrapped to fit the window. |
| 08:15 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise. |
| 08:20 | In this tutorial, we learnt to:
|
| 08:26 | * Use the side panel to browse and open files |
| 08:30 | * Insert line numbers and
|
| 08:34 | Here is an assignment for you. |
| 08:37 | Create 5 new tabs in the gedit Text Editor. |
| 08:41 | Save them as One, Two, Three, Four and Five. |
| 08:47 | Now re-order the tabs as Three, Two, One, Five and Four. |
| 08:54 | Open the Side Panel |
| 08:56 | Click the file Five in the Side Panel and enter some text. |
