 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +**Mousepad** aims to be an easy-to-use and fast editor. Our target is an
 +editor for quickly editing text files, not a development environment or an
 +editor with a huge bunch of plugins. On the other hand we try to use the latest
 +GTK features available, which means that if GTK adds something new in a major
 +release that is useful for the editor, we will likely bump the GTK dependency
 +and integrate this new feature in **Mousepad**.

-===== Getting it ===== +===== Settings =====
-The normal (and best) way to get the Mousepad application is to use the package manager or port system of your operating system.+
  
-If Mousepad isn't available there, or if you want a different version, you can download it in source from from [[https://archive.xfce.org/src/apps/mousepad/]].+The preferences dialog shown above is the easiest way to set Mousepad settings. Some of them are also accessible via the menubar, e.g. "Word Wrap" and "Auto Indent" in the "Document" menu.
  
----- +All these settings, plus some "hidden" ones, are also accessible using GSettings command line tool. You can get a list of everything about Mousepad in GSettings with this command:

-===== Reporting Bugs ===== +
-If you are experiencing a bug in ''mousepad'', your way of helping things getting fixed is to report a bug about it in [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/explore/groups?sort=name_desc|Xfce GitLab]]. Please note that to do this you will need to have / create an account.+
  
 +Then, to enable e.g. automatic indentation, just do
  
-<note important>Before reporting a new bug, please try your best to check if it has already been reported (see the latest reports below). [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/-/issues?scope=all&state=all|Click here for a full list of bug reports]].</note>+   gsettings set org.xfce.mousepad.preferences.view auto-indent true
  
 +See ''man gsettings'' and ''gsettings help'' for more details.
  
-===== Report a new bug =====+A graphical alternative to ''gsettings'' is Dconf Editor, normally available from your distribution repositories: see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/DconfEditor.
  
-If your bug has not been reported before, please [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/-/issues/new|submit a new bug report]].+==== Printing ====
  
-When writing your bug report, try to be as descriptive as possible, but avoid verbosity; Mozilla has a nice guide on [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines|how to write a bug report]].+The settings for printing are treated separately, in the file ''~/.config/Mousepad/mousepadrc''. Create this file if it does not exist, then carry out a printing operation to the end (you can print in a file), and Mousepad will fill in the configuration file with the values set in the print dialog. Be sure to leave the value of ''PageSetupSaved'' at ''true'' so that all settings are reloaded the next time you print.

-**[[https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/-/issues/new|File a new bug or enhancement request]]**+===== Keybindings =====
  
 +After its first use, Mousepad will generate the file ''~/.config/Mousepad/accels.scm'', containing the list of configurable keybindings. To customize a keybinding, uncomment the corresponding line by removing the semicolon at the beginning, then change the shortcut at the end of the line, without touching the rest.
