Dear mailing list, I have a question which was probably asked 100 times before. I'm sorry for that, but I'm new to the list and I don't know the answer(s) jet. Why is there no tool for configuring the syntax highlighting in gedit anymore? I remember old versions, where I could set my highlighting the way I wanted to, without messing around with configuration files. This is a real disadvantage. E.g. in some of the few themes coming with the gedit package, there is no LaTeX syntax highlighting. Every time I'm installing a new system, I have to look up how to configure the gedit config files and this is really annoying. Probably, this is because of the (more or less) useless gnome politics to remove all adjustment options from the normal user (like in the gnome-screensaver which I also do not use anymore because of this reason). I really like gedit (except the bug that copying with the middle mouse button click causes a jump to the original text) and I would really like to avoid to have to switch to another editor like so many of my colleagues already did. Thanks for your answer!
