Add Gedit Plugins
Fedora comes with vim and gedit installed but the gedit installation is bare bones. You can update gedit to include supplemental Plug-ins with the following yum command as the root user:
yum install -y gedit-plugins |
It generates the following log file:

When you launch the gedit utility, you click on the
Gedit Plug-in Installation
- After you install the Gedit Plug-ins, you can configure the plug-ins by launching Gedit and then click on the
geditmenu option. Then, click on the Preferences menu option to enable the new plugins, like the Embedded Terminal plug-in.
- You have four tab options when working with the Preferences menu. The first tab is the View tab, as shown to the left.
- The second tab is the Editor tab, as shown to the left.
- The third tab is the Font & Colors tab, as shown to the left.
- The fourth tab is the Plugins tab, as shown to the left. Scroll down the list and check the Embedded Terminal and Python Console plug-ins’ checkbox. The Embedded Terminal lets you edit a file and have command line access to a Terminal session from the
geditmenu; and the Python Console session from thegeditmenu.
- Click on the View menu, and then choose the Bottom Panel menu option.
- After enabling the Bottom Panel in the Gedit menu, you can edit a file and click on the Terminal by simply clicking on the subpanel. You can see the split image on the left. There’s also a set of bottom tabs that lets you switch from a Linux Terminal session to the Python console.
As always, I hope this helps those working with gedit on the Fedora operating system.
Add Color to VIM?
In Fedora 20, documents have no color coding when you edit them with vi or vim. That’s because Fedora installs vim-minimal by default. You can check what’s running with the following command at a shell prompt in the terminal:
rpm -qa | grep vim |
It should print the following to console:
vim-minimal-7.4.179-1.fc20.x86_64 |
You can download and install vim with the enhanced version by using the following syntax:
sudo yum install vim-enhanced |

You can now type vim to edit files in color but vi will still be in black and white.
