In 16.04 with Unity I have (gedit - Version 3.18.3) Which has the preference menu shown below:



enter image description here



As you can see, there are a number of useful options here, the one I miss the most is Display line numbers. This is unavailable on 18.04 with Gnome (gedit - Version 3.28.1) much to my annoyance as seen below.

          1. Open Gedit and click the dropdown triangle to the right of where it says Text Editor in the upper left corner of the desktop next to Activities.


          2. Select Preferences from the Text Editor dropdown menu.


          3. In the Gedit Preferences window click the View tab.


          4. In the Gedit Preferences window check the first option that says Display line numbers which is marked by the mouse cursor in the below screenshot.

          With some digging I discovered that the command gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers true does the trick to turn the line numbers on. Other gedit preferences can also be adjusted. The command gsettings list-recursively | grep gedit will provide you with a list of options.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain.
