In ultraedit you just highlight all the files in the tree view, right click and hit close. Gedit has a tree view. Surprise! Surprise! It doesnt support multi-select! It will take the focus from your keyboard tho, in some kind of misguided "i really want to traverse a tree view with key clicks" sort of intent, but as a side effect half the time you use it it ends up stealing focus so you have to click in the edit area area directly after using it. Usually after discovering that a bunch of stuff you just typed has "disappeared". Hateful thing. And ive never managed to figure out how to actually switch the focus without using the mouse. Sigh. The really hateful thing is that overall its the best GUI based editor I've found for linux. At least for an ultraedit refugee like myself. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
