In mac using Text - Mate we can easily auto - indent the characters in the file for Ruby on Rails code in various rb,erb or html.erb files. I am searching for a plugin for GEdit for the same purpose after trying hard I am unable to find any suitable plugin which can work for me. Any clues which plugin I should go for and how to get that ?

  • Do this [question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/16357/auto-indentation-in-gedit) and/or [this](http://askubuntu.com/questions/49761/how-can-i-get-gedit-ready-for-programming-in-ruby-and-ruby-on-rails) help? – pl1nk Jun 25 '12 at 12:38
  • the plugins specified in second link adds auto-completion and some other good features but not solves the real solution of aligning text in proper indentation like in **textmate** or other editors – Sahil Grover Jun 25 '12 at 16:41

In the Preferences menu of gedit navigate to theEditor tab, there you can enable automatic indentation (tick the box to activate it).

  • Yes I have seen that which states smart indentation. I have checked that but that doesn't align the text which i insert later on. If I start writing code it aligns only that. But in case I have already written the code and now I want to Indent it properly how to do that @kosaidpo – Sahil Grover Dec 12 '11 at 06:09
