I need the code folding property in gedit, and I found online a folding.gedit-plugin online, but it never works. My gedit is of version 3.2.1, and it is said that the plugin folding.gedit-plugin was made for 2.x version only.
So is there a code folding plugin for gedit of version 3.2.1? Thanks!
It is here, along with the installation guide.

For me, it works on gEdit 3.18.3, and may works on later version.
according to this question: Is there code folding for gedit? , it seems difficult to have code folding in gedit 3.x but there's one option that does the job (see answers from the link above).
As an alternative, I would suggest you to install geany which is a simple and lightweight text/code editor in ubuntu repos ( sudo apt-get install geany) and you can enable code folding by simply going to edit>preferences>editor and checking "code folding". You can also remove any extra panes (side or bottom panes) to make it feel as simple as it is gedit.
As an alternative, What about VIM editor? It's the best editor I've used ever. It works with lot of code, JAVA, Perl, html, css, C, C++, Python, LaTex... etc lot of them. work fine.
sudo apt-get install vim
