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.
06:24 Let us Switch back to gedit Text editor .
06:28 Let me open a document school.txt which I have already created earlier.

Uncheck the Match Case option.

07:50 Now, from the Main menu, click Search and then on Replace .
07:56 Alternately, we can press Ctrl + H keys together. Or, use the Search for and replace text icon in the Toolbar .
08:08 Replace dialog-box appears.
08:11 In the Search for field, type "schools" and press Enter .
08:17 In the Replace with box, type "colleges". Check the Match entire word only check-box.
08:26 We can see, all the schools words are highlighted in yellow color.
08:31 Click on Replace button.
08:34 This will replace the first occurrence of schools with colleges .
08:39 Click on Replace All button to replace all the occurrences of schools with colleges .
