Hello all,

I am trying to install a third party plugin (specifically this one [1]) in the gedit flatpak (3.32.0) from flathub. I am running debian sid. I tried copying the required files ("open-uri-context-menu.plugin and open-uri-context-menu.py") to the following paths without success.

1. $HOME/.var/app/org.gnome.gedit/config/gedit/plugins

2. $HOME/.local/share/gedit/plugins

I am also trying to get syntax highlighting working for todo.txt file format. I created the following folders and added a syntax-highting file [2] to them with no success

1. $HOME/.var/app/org.gnome.gedit/config/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/todotxt.lang

2. $HOME/.local/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/todotxt.lang

Any suggestions?

I believe the flatpak equivalent of ~/.local/share (XDG_DATA_HOME) is the "data" directory, so I would try putting the plugin and lang file under ~/.var/app/org.gnome.gedit/data (I haven't tried this though).

HTH,
