Text editors for Linux (part 1): vi, Gedit, Kate
For what text editors are needed, probably everyone knows: you can edit configuration files in them, you can create or edit a script in them, and you can also view the README file. For Linux, there are not so many text editors. And most of them can be customized for most emerging tasks.

The old leader vi (or one of its variations, such as Vim or Elvis) is available on most * nix systems. If you are a system administrator and run from one * nix system to another, then you have a direct path to vi for work, macros , etc. As soon as you learn keyboard shortcuts, control words, move sections of text, or move through large files, then vi becomes effective, fast, and predictable. Although vi does not have a GUI, but as for me php with backlighting in it looks very impressive.
Gedit and kate
Gedit ( pic. 1) is a small and lightweight text editor for GNOME. This editor is the default editor in Ubuntu. Excellent text editor with syntax highlighting for scripts and programming languages. It is expandable through plug-ins (Fig. 2) and is most effective for most tasks.

I have a special love for GEdit - this is my most used and favorite editor. To properly configure GEdit, follow the link and follow the instructions.
In my case, GEdit looks like this:

Also under GNOME, you can run Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor). With the simple command

That's all for today. In the following part of the article (or in several articles) the following text editors will be considered: TEA, Emacs, Leafpad, Mousepad, Medit and SciTE.

Also under GNOME, you can run Kate (KDE Advanced Text Editor). With the simple command
sudo apt-get install kate-plugins you can install a package that adds some additional functionality. Kate's interface is a bit more lively than Gedit's (Fig. 4), and to enable the ability of tabs between documents, you need to activate this feature by connecting the appropriate plug-in. But Kate is more customizable than Gedit.Fig.4 Kate text editor
