Gedit Makes A Fine Text Editor Now -- Here's How

If you have Ubuntu like I do, you might not know that Gedit makes a superbly fine text editor now. But you need some plugins and some options turned on that make it even better than Bluefish:

• Disable Text Wrapping
• Display Line Numbers
• Highlight Current Line
• Display Right Margin (80)
• Highlight Matching Bracket
• Tab Width (4)
• Disable Insert Spaces Instead of Tabs
• Enable Automatic Indentation
• Disable Backup Copies
• Disable Autosave
• Find the plugin packs on the web for File Browser Pane and Project Manager
• Enable File Browser Pane Plugin
• Enable Indent Lines Plugin
• Enable Modelines Plugin
• Enable Project Manager Plugin

Now create a launcher for gksudo 'gedit --new-window --new-document' and it will be a better PHP IDE than most ones out there.
