You might find some more information in there:
<http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/ToolLauncherPlugin>. The variable you seem
to be looking for is $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH.

A few shortcuts won't work properly for the external tools. The reason
is yet to be investigated, and some code should be put to prevent one
using such a shortcut.

The common reasons why a shortcut doesn't work are those:
 - it is grabbed by your window manager (for instance, compiz eats quite
   a few of those Fx keys)
 - it is used by the GtkTextView widget.

If you find the reason why your particular shortcut doesn't work, you
can send it here or open a bugzilla bug about it, we'd be glad :-)
