Pluma (pluma) is a small and lightweight UTF-8 text editor for the MATE environment. It started as a fork of Gedit (at version 2.30) in 2011, back then the text editor for the GNOME 2 environment. Pluma is part of MATE and uses the latest GTK+ and MATE libraries. Complete MATE integration is featured, with support for Drag and Drop from Caja (the MATE file manager), the use of the MATE help system, the MATE Virtual File System and the MATE print framework. Pluma uses a Multiple Document Interface, which lets you edit more than one document at the same time. Pluma supports most standard editing features, plus several not found in your average text editor (plugins being the most notable of these).
