00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Third party Plugins in gedit Text editor.
00:07 In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install third party plugins and use it.
00:15 To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system gedit Text editor 3.10
00:25 To follow this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any operating system.
00:32 Now we will learn about third party plugins.
00:36 Plugins are also developed by other programmers
00:40 These are called third party plugins.
00:44 This gives you extra functionality that is not available in default gedit plugins.
00:51 Installing a third-party plugin involves: Downloading the plugin from the below link https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit
00:58 Placing the plugin files in the correct directory
01:02 Activating the plugin
01:05 Let us go to the gedit website to download the plugins.
01:10 Click on the plugins link at the top right corner.
01:14 Click on Lists of gedit plugins.
01:18 We can see many links for third-party plugins for different versions of gedit Text editor.
01:25 Since my version of gedit is 3.10, I'll click on the link for version 3.8 and 3.10.
01:34 You have to choose the link depending upon your gedit version.
01:39 Scroll down to see the various third party plugins.
01:44 Let us explore the features of Intelligent Text completion.
01:49 Auto-close brackets and quotes
01:52 Auto-complete html tags
01:55 Auto-indent after function or list
01:59 I'll demonstrate how to install and use Intelligent Text Completion.
02:06 Let us go to the gedit website.
02:09 Click on the Download link.
02:11 We can see the Features and Installation details for Intelligent Text Completion.
02:18 Go through the information thoroughly for your own understanding.
02:22 Click on the Clone or download drop down box on the top right corner.
02:29 Then click on the Download Zip.
02:32 Select the Save file option and click Ok.
02:36 The file is saved in the Downloads folder.
02:40 Extract the files. Open the folder to see the available files.
02:47 I'll copy the folder gedit3-8, because my gedit version is higher than this.
02:55 We need to copy this folder to dot local/share/gedit/plugins in the Home directory.
03:05 Select the Home directory.
03:08 Click on the View menu on the Menu bar and select Show Hidden Files.
03:15 Locate the .local folder share.
03:20 Create the subdirectory gedit if it is not there.
03:26 Inside gedit directory, let us create another subdirectory called plugins.
03:33 Paste the folder or copy the files from the folder inside plugins.
03:39 Third party plugin files should be copied to the correct directory as shown.
03:45 Now our plugin is ready to use.
03:49 Let's open the gedit Text editor.
03:52 From the Main menu, click Edit and Preferences.
03:56 Under the Plugins tab, scroll down to see whether our third party plugin is added.
04:03 We can see the Intelligent Text completion plugin is added to our list.
04:09 Check the box.Click Close.
04:13 Let us see how the Intelligent Text completion helps us to write a html program.
04:19 I'll type tags as shown here.
04:23 After the less than symbol, press backslash.
04:27 It will automatically insert the title closing tag.
04:32 In the next line, type less than backslash. You can see the head closing tag is inserted.
04:41 Again type less than backslash. html closing tag is also inserted.
04:48 So, it automatically detects the html tags and creates them.
04:54 It makes our work easy while writing the source code.
04:59 We can see, the syntax highlight is in off mode.
05:02 Until you save a document in gedit Text editor, syntax highlighting is turned off.
05:10 You can turn it ON by clicking the menu View and Highlight Mode.
05:16 You can select the mode depending upon your source code.
05:20 As our program is HTML, I'll select HTML option from the list.
05:28 We can see, our HTML code gets highlighted with the syntax.
05:33 This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
