Description Gilles Foucault 2004-08-02 16:42:03 UTC 
I'd like to use a "fill-text in current paragraph" command like the "Meta-Q"
command in GNU Emacs .
This command fill the text in a specified number of columns (80 columns per
default).

Comment 1 Paolo Maggi 2006-12-30 17:30:59 UTC 
We are moving all the request for plugins that we don't plan to add to gedit
itself on http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins.

Closing as WONTFIX.
Comment 2 Craig Huffstetler 2009-04-01 16:18:43 UTC 
Since this still has not been added as a plug-in, and not added to gedit, can this be re-opened as a feature request? It's often requested by the community.

Sincerely,

Craig H.
Comment 3 Bernhard Koenig 2009-04-01 23:01:58 UTC 
Yes, I support this as well. Is there any way we could turn this into a wish?
Comment 4 julien cubizolles 2009-07-08 13:56:06 UTC 
It looks like the "par" and "word-wrap" plugins (http://jerakeen.org/source/gedit-plugins/) have been written to that effect, but it was a while ago and they don't seem to do anything at all on last gedit versions. Maybe someone with some experience with python (not me unfortunately) could adapt them ?
Comment 5 Antonio Arauzo Azofra 2010-06-19 14:41:59 UTC 
Tough not very usable, this functionallity can be achieved using Join/Split Lines plugin by:

 - Selecting the paragraph
 - Presssing Ctrl-Shift-J
