I want to have Syntax Highlighting for jQuery and maybe when I type <html> it can automatically insert </html>. Is there anyway to make GEdit do this?

What the difference between jQuery syntax and JS syntax ? :) For auto complete functionality you'll need to import jQuery snippets, just follow ~~this guide~~ (dead link)

For more intelligent JS coding in gedit I'll advice to use JSLint, look how to integrate it into gedit . You'll need to activate External Tools plugin.

Good luck to you with gedit and JS :) Really nice technologies.

My main beef with GEdit is that it doesn't highlight document, or window. – Nahshon 5/10, 2009 at 19:58

I'm running it in Ubuntu with Gnome so I don't know if it is a universal method. Gedit is using gtksourceview for syntax highlighting. All you need is edit file /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/javascript.lang (you'll need root permissions) and add <keyword>window</keyword> <keyword>document</keyword> there as object type nodes (if you like to highlight it as objects). Yes, and feel free to contact me if there are any issues at mushex@antarnian . – Barbra 5/10, 2009 at 20:32

Thanks your last comment was extremely helpful. Now they document and window actually look like something special, instead of just another thing. – Nahshon 8/10, 2009 at 3:38

To add html tag completion, checkout zen coding plugin code.google.com/p/zen-coding for gedit. – Arlettaarlette 12/3, 2011 at 5:58
