Open gedit from command-line with custom Theme and forced Highlight Mode












0















I need open some txt files with different themes and syntax highlights using gedit command in Ubuntu 18.04. With this, a clean startup of gedit would remain with the standard theme.



Something like in this example:



gedit ~/some.txt --theme=Darkmate --highlight=Markdown


Some solution?

    gedit --help will reveal the options that gedit knows. There are tricks with environment variables to load a GTK3 application such as gedit with a different theme.

  • And naming your file some.mkd or some.md instead of just some.txt may help with the highlight issue.
