About:
LibgeditGtksourceview is a library that provides a powerful text editor widget, specifically designed for syntax highlighting and code editing. It is a fork of the GtkSourceView library, maintained as part of the Gedit ecosystem. Its main value proposition is offering a robust foundation for building GNOME text editors and IDEs with advanced editing features.
Key Features:
  • Syntax highlighting for various programming languages
  • Bracket matching and auto-completion support
  • Undo/redo functionality and text search capabilities
  • Highly customizable widget for GNOME/GTK applications
Use Cases:
  • Building source code editors or IDEs for Linux desktops
  • Integrating advanced code editing features into GTK applications
Alternatives:
  • GtkSourceView – Libgedit is a direct fork; GtkSourceView is the original upstream project.
  • Scintilla – A mature editing component, but primarily used in cross-platform toolkits like Qt or Win32 rather than native GTK.
