Is there a Gedit plugin that displays an overview map? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

On 18.04 LTS with Gedit 3.28.1 this option was named as "Display overview map", was controlled by corresponding GSettings/Dconf setting:

gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-overview-map true

but in 20.04 LTS this option does not exist on source-code level.

This was indicated in commit from 2019-11-19 with main idea to "simplify the gedit code".
So this functionality was removed by upstream.

You may want to find a workaround in the bugreport at GNOME GitLab - install user-defined plugin:

sudo apt-get install git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
cd ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/johnfactotum/gedit-restore-minimap.git restore-minimap

Then open Gedit Preferences, go to Plugins, and check Restore Minimap checkbox.
