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.
