Suggestion for gedit..

[Shaun Reich]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the method of communication, for suggestions, but here goes:

I believe that gedit should have an option in preferences to try to use the same instance(window) of gedit. When I have a window already open and I click another text document, it should actually open another tab in the current-most window. It should be an option of course, in the preference window.

Hopefully this message will not go unnoticed.

This is actually already exactly what gedit does, it's a single instance
application which tries to open files in active windows on the current
viewport/workspace if possible. If this is not working in your case,
then either you found a bug somewhere, or maybe you have an old version
of gedit.
