No, that page is.  You were looking at the page from 16.04.  Look at 
the top bar.  If you click on the most recent one, that option is gone.

I am thinking of messing with leafpad's rc

     ./.config/leafpad/leafpadrc
     $ cat leafpadrc
     0.8.18.1
     699    <-- X (Horizontal width)
     237    <-- Y (Vertical height)
     Monospace 12
     1
     1
     0

I wonder what the 0.8.18.1 is all about.



I read leafpadrc into a variable
copy it to a new variable
modify the X, Y, and font size
write the new one back out
fire off leafpad
write the old rc back out

Problem solved and it was a fun write.

Re: Gedit and no geometry?

I recall —geometry is handled by an X-windows library function & is common to 
most X based apps
So when this (or any other app) used Xlib there are various command line 
arguments (argv[]) that are handled by the X regardless of the app

Gedit and no geometry?

2020-11-13 Thread ToddAndMargo via users

Hi All,

Looking at uboboo's man page for gedit, it
has a --geometry command line switch;

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/en/man1/gedit.1.html

But our's does not.

Are we way out of date?

Do we have test editor with a geometry switch?
