Pluma, Spanish for ‘quill’, is the official text editor of the MATE desktop environment. While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, Pluma is a powerful general purpose text editor. It can be used to create and edit all sorts of text files. Pluma features a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically add new advanced features to Pluma itself. The find-and-replace feature in Pluma includes support for regular expressions. This feature is implemented using the PCRE library. Documentation on the regular expression syntax is provided at . If invoking Pluma from the command line (ie terminal window), a number of command-line options can be provided that alter Pluma’s behaviour. See man pluma for details, or see below. filename(s)...

Pluma (pluma) is a small and lightweight UTF-8 text editor for the MATE environment. It started as a fork of Gedit (at version 2.30) in 2011, back then the text editor for the GNOME 2 environment. Pluma is part of MATE and uses the latest GTK+ and MATE libraries. Complete MATE integration is featured, with support for Drag and Drop from Caja (the MATE file manager), the use of the MATE help system, the MATE Virtual File System and the MATE print framework. Pluma uses a Multiple Document Interface, which lets you edit more than one document at the same time. Pluma supports most standard editing features, plus several not found in your average text editor (plugins being the most notable of these). Some of the plugins, packaged and installed with Pluma include, among others: Spell checker - Checks the spelling of the current document File Browser - Easy file access from the side pane Sort - Sorts a document or selected text Insert Date/Time - Inserts current date and time at the cursor position Tag list - Provides a method to easily insert code tags. Pluma is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2, see the file 'COPYING' for more information. For installation to a separate prefix change the above ./configure command to Pluma has several test that can be run after compilation. Run them by issueing "make check". However there are a couple of requirements that need to be satisfied before they will pass. You need the gsettings schemas installed for some tests to be able to run. You need to mount sftp://localhost/ with gvfs-mount for one test to pass. If test fail and you have setup the above correctly then please file a bug report as described below. Information about your system. For instance: What operating system and version What version of X What version of the gtk+, glib and mate libraries For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. For example: How to reproduce the bug. If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred. Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error, it will be more useful if the stack trace is produced running the test program with the --sync command line option.
