Pluma Overview
Pluma is a free, open-source text editor for Linux, developed as part of the MATE desktop environment, and it serves as MATE's general-purpose editor much as gedit does for GNOME. It aims to be simple and clean for everyday text editing while still being capable enough for light programming and configuration work. Pluma supports syntax highlighting for many programming languages, line numbering, automatic indentation, and bracket matching, and it can edit several files at once using tabs. Useful built-in tools include search and replace with regular-expression support, a spell checker, and the ability to undo and redo without limit. Its functionality can be extended through plugins that add features such as a file browser pane, a terminal, snippets, and document statistics. Because it is part of the MATE desktop, Pluma is typically installed through a Linux distribution's package manager from its official repositories. This page links to the official Pluma source.
