[Gedit] Replace text

orschiro · 2011-02-04 15:44:38

Hello guys,

I often work with Gedit to edit my LaTeX documents. However it's a bit unproductive because I can't select whole parts conveniently and in a fast way. One example when this is needed:

\begin{itemize}
        \item select this complete text automatically with a shortcut
...
\begin{karte}[]{select this complete text automatically with a shortcut}[]

In such cases it's simply annoying that I have to select the phrase with the mouse or manually when I want to replace it. Isn't there any way to have a shortcut that automatically recognises the selection between for example two brackets?

Hopefully you understand what I'm looking for.

Regards

Are you using this gedit latex plugin? : http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/LaTeXPlugin

Yes I do. I think Vim provides that feature by the visual mode? Is there something similiar for Gedit?

I thought that plugin might have what you need, if not you are out of luck as gedit is fairly basic as a programmer's editor (in comparison to vim). And yes that edit action you want is available in vim.
