I'm trying to install the Advanced Find plugin for Gedit 2.3 on Windows 7, but so far I haven't been able to. Since the directory for plugins is /home/username/.local/share/gedit/plugins for Linux, I went to C:\Program Files\gedit\share\gedit-2\plugins and tried placing the files there, but it still won't appear in the plugins settings. Do you guys know how plugins are installed?

  • It's a 32bit machine, which is why I'm using Gedit 2.3 and not 3.2 (latest, I think).

How plugins are installed on Windows?

For Windows

.lang files go in:

%ProgramFiles%\gedit\share\gtksourceview-2.0\language-specs\

plugins go in:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\gedit\plugins\

styles go in:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\gedit\styles\

Source Customize Gedit for Groovy/Grails

  • @KardNails lol. Google-fu! I searched for "gedit windows plugin installation". 30s to find and a minute or 2 to write the answer :)

  • Truly weird. Could it be the google localization? Because I searched the exact same thing and found nothing. :D

  • After installing Gedit 3.20.1 for Windows I have the gedit folder in AppData\Local (not in AppData\Roaming). Sep 20, 2023 at 13:09
