gedit: how to add buttons to toolbar

Hi :)

Ok, this is the wrong answer but the main benefit of using Gedit is that it's so small and light-weight. If you want a more serious text-editor there are plenty to choose from. I like SciTE many like Vim but just use either search tool in synaptic package manager to look for others and try a few

Good luck and regards from

Gedit does not support changes to the toolbar via the UI. The only way to add or remove something from the toolbar is through a plugin. This is probably more effort than you are willing to undertake. There may be a plugin that does what you want:
    * http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins
    * http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/PythonPluginHowTo

Thank you, Curtis. The plugin I was using used to have the button I want,
but no longer.... And indeed, since I can use a(n awkard) key combination
to get the same effect, it's not worth my while writing a separate plugin.
Best, J.

Thanks Tom; I used to use a more serious editor, but gedit works great for
what I want to do. Best, J.
