How do you use the Commander plugin in gedit?

Question

This plugin is available from gedit-plugins package. Other than what its name and short description are, there are no other helpful info about the plugin usage.

Does anyone know how to use this plugin?

Answer 1

Activate the commander plugin from Edit -> Preferences ->Plugins Tab, there check the commander plugin.

Now click Edit -> Commander Mode and you'll see a command prompt at the bottom.

Here is an excerpt from the Commander plugin page on Gnome Libraries:

• See an overview of available commands - Tab + Tab
• Find a word within the current file - / foo - This will find the word foo.
• Replace a word within the current file - // foo bar - This will replace foo with bar.
• Move the cursor to a certain line number in your file - go [line number] or just g [line number]
• Toggle the bookmark indicator for the current line - bookmark or just b

Answer 2

I found this article about gedit-commander on the GNOME website; it should be really helpful. The git-hub home of the project also contains further information.
