The Modelines plugin allows gedit to analyze the lines of text at the start and end of a file, and then apply a set of document preferences to the file. The Modelines plugin supports a subset of the options used by the Emacs, Kate and Vim text editors.
To enable the Modelines plugin, select gedit ▸ Preferences ▸ Plugins ▸ Modelines.
The following options can be set using gedit modelines:
Larghezza tabulazioni
Larghezza rientro
Inserting spaces instead of tabs
A capo automatico
Larghezza margine destro
Le preferenze impostate usando le modeline hanno la precedenza su quelle specificate nella finestra di dialogo delle preferenze.
