Two gedit plugins clash. How to change shortcut keys, or enable/disable a plugin

Solution 1:

I wrote the following python script (download) that enables/disables the Multi-edit plugin:

#!/usr/env/python

import re
import commands

active_plugins = commands.getoutput("gconftool --get /apps/gedit-2/plugins/active-plugins")

r1 = re.compile(r'multi_edit')

if r1.search(active_plugins):
    # Disable multi-edit plugin
    active_plugins = re.sub("multi_edit,|,multi_edit","", active_plugins)

else:
    # Enable multi-edit plugin
    active_plugins = re.sub("]",",multi_edit]", active_plugins)
    
commands.getoutput("gconftool --set --type=list --list-type=string /apps/gedit-2/plugins/active-plugins "+active_plugins)

To toggle Multi-edit with a keyboard shortcut:

1. Save the script as toggle-multi-edit.py in your home folder.

2. Open up System → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts. Click Add and put python /home/<user>/toggle-multi-edit.py for the Command, replacing <user> with your actual username.
