Third party gedit plugins - versions 3.0 to 3.6

Installation

To install one of these plugins, you need to download the files and put them in your ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/ directory (which may need to be created). They need to be in that exact directory; subdirectories are not scanned for plugins.

Third-party plugins for gedit 3.8 and 3.10. Some of them may also be available on gedit 3.0 to 3.6. If you see such a plugin, please add it here too. There was before only one wiki page for plugins, and plugins were migrated from one version to the other. Now that there are several pages, we can list the plugins for all versions.
