gEdit and smooth FTP saving!
I just found out that there is a setting in gconf-editor that allows you to use gedit to save to ftp sites with ease. By default, if you peruse an ftp site with nautilus and open a text file on that ftp site, you can’t just click file and save to save the remote file. This was such a pain and what kept me using kate. My troubles end today.
alt+f2, gconf-editor
browse to:
/apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/save/writable_vfs_schemes
add “ftp” to the list

I wonder why this isn’t enabled by default? Maybe something to bring up at the next developer summit.

This seems to be working already in my version of gEdit. I’m using v2.24.2 on ubuntu. Thanks for the tip anyway.
