gedit, jedit

[anatak74]

Hi,

I installed jedit but now every text file I want to edit opens in a new jedit window.
If I want to open it with gedit, the same thing happens.

can anyone tell me how to make sure that the text files open in the same window for jedit or for gedit?

thank you

Looks like you want the launcher to use -reuseview, according to here.

More info here.

thank you for the information.

I tried to pass the -reuseview to the launcher but that didn't work.

removing jedit didn't solve the problem in gedit neither.

I will try to follow this solution to at least restore gedit to it's previous behavior.

This is my gedit config file

does anyone have an idea what I have to change to open in tabs instead of a new window?
