GNOME's GTK Gets Gtef'ed

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 24 March 2017 at 06:06 AM EDT. 47 Comments

Gtef is short for the GTK+ Text Editor Framework and makes it easier to develop text editors and IDEs with GNOME's toolkit.

Developer Sébastien Wilmet has provided an overview of Gtef with this text editing framework having been released in tandem with GNOME 3.24. Gtef provides a higher level API to make it easier for text editing or in developer-focused integrated development environments.

The API for Gtef isn't yet stable and the framework isn't yet finished, but GTK developers wishing to learn more about this new project can find it outlined in depth via this blog post.
