I don't understand why this behavior is still imposed to the community. A simple option or plugin would allow everyone to enjoy gedit. the argument that "having an option for small similar details would rather confuse users than be useful ... gedit will stay simple to use for users" doesn't make sense for de following reasons : - Silently adding a newline at the end of the file is not a "detail" for me. - The Gedit syntax highlighting and features in general make it usefull for a wide audience and programmers too. - Gedit has dozens of "expert" plugins but none can be done for this issue since the newline is always added at the end.
Users should have the choice to be able to configure Gedit to make it save exactly what they write, no more no less. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379367 Title: Gedit adding a newline at the end of file should be configurable Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: New Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit Ggedit auto adds a newline at the end of file.I hope it can be configurable. I'm not a c/c++ developer, i'm php developer. but I use gedit for my php developing. Gedit auto adds a new line at the end of file, which will cause a problem when the program runs. I hope this action can be configurable. thanks~!
