Installing intelligent text completition for gedit on Ubuntu 19.10

  • 772

I'm trying to install the package "intelligent text completition 3.8" for gedit by following this guide:

  1. Unpack the archive
  2. Put intelligent_text_completion.plugin and intelligent_text_completion.py inside .local/share/gedit/plugins in your home directory. (create it if it doesn't exist yet)
  3. (Re)start Gedit.
  4. Go to Edit->Preferences->Plugins and check the box for Intelligent Text Completion

The problem is that I didn't find the box Intelligent Text Completition in Edit->Preferences->Plugins. Can you tell me how can I overcome this problem please?

EDIT: after I installed the gedit-plugins, the available options are the following:

EDIT 2: I tried with the command ls -lR ~/.local/share/gedit (idem for ls -alR ~/.local/share/gedit), but the terminal shows me the message "No such file or directory". The strange thing is that I created manually the folders gedit and plugins in the folder .gnome (see the below figure).

Thank you in advance.

    I just tried it on 19.10 and it works for me with gedit 3.34.0 and https://github.com/nymanjens/gedit-intelligent-text-completion/releases/download/v2.4/intelligent-text-completion-gedit3-8-v2.5.tar.gz.

    The key point maybe is that you first need to install gedit-plugins from the 19.10 repositories with sudo apt install gedit-plugins.

    After doing so, follow the instructions in your link:

    Intelligent text completion plugin is listed

    Note:

    This plugin also works in gedit running on Kubuntu 19.10, Ubuntu MATE 19.10 and Xubuntu 19.10.
