GEdit Tab Switcher and Closer – Plugin

I was tired to use different shortcuts on each program, so I decided to create a Plugin for GEdit to have the shortcuts that I’m used to

The shortcuts that I included:
CTRL + TAB = Change Tab
CTRL + SHIFT + TAB = Change Tab (Backwards)
CTRL + T = New Tab
CTRL + F4 = Close tab

So to have CTRL + TAB on your GEdit 2 and this others shortcuts you need to include this plugin to this path if you want to have this for all users:

/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/

If you want to have it just for your user paste the plugin on:

~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins/.

And if you use GEdit 3 the path to all users is:

/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/

And just for your user:

~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/

To enable GEdit – Tab Switcher and Closer, check the checkbox on:

Edit – Preferences – Plugins – GEdit Tab Switcher and Closer

Download GEdit2 – Tab Switcher and Closer
Download GEdit3 – Tab Switcher and Closer
