[gedit-list] Feature request

[Tim Cleaver <tim cleaver gmail com>]

To the developers of gedit,

I use gedit a lot and think it is a great text editor. Thank you for
the time you have spent creating it. I am not sure this is the right
place to put forward a feature request but here goes anyways. (I have
checked the help manual and could see no reference to this sort of
functionality). I think it would be useful if different properties
could be applied to different tab panes. For example, in one tab pane
I might have c code and therefore not want text wrapping, set the tab
to be 4 spaces etc, whereas in another I have a TeX document where I
would prefer to have word wrapping and let tab spaces be tab spaces.
In order to access tab specific properties there could be an
additional item added to the menu when the tab is right clicked on.
However, you might see this as bad HCI design and argue that I should
have each open in a different instance of gedit.

Regardless of whether you choose to ignore or adopt my suggestion,
thank you again for the work you have put into an already great
program.

cheers,
Tim Cleaver
