gedit preferences?

[Barugon]

For whatever reason, editing preferences is not allowed in gedit on Mobian. How can I disable highlighting the current line (I actually can't see the text with the dark theme)? I would also like to disable line numbering as that's pretty dumb to have on for a text editor on a phone.

The new highlight color in gedit is terrible. You can disable the highlight with:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor highlight-current-line false

but I just changed the theme to "oblivion" (default is "tango") which has a better highlight color:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor scheme oblivion

To disable line numbers:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor display-line-numbers false

To find other settings:

Code:

gsettings list-recursively | grep gedit

Thanks @beta-user.
