Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit-plugins

Hi,
i am working with the latest up-to-date gutsy with gedit 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 and gedit-plugins 2.19.90-0ubuntu1.

Summary: The External Tools plugin does not save the accelerator keybindings after restart.

You can reproduce this when you start gedit, activate the plugin external tools und go to the external tools manager. Now, modify a tool by changing the accelerator. Close the tools manager window and open the tools menu. You see the right accelerator. Close gedit and start it again and the accelerator is gone.

I submitted a patch to fix the issue. library.Tools._load is not loading any tool properties. The accelerator (Shortcut) is obviously broken, but so too is the Input and Output properties.

If your impatient for the fix to arrive, you can fix the issue yourself by editing one line.

use sudo to edit line 215 of /usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/externaltools/library.py:
- if m.group(0) in self._properties:
+ if m.group(0) not in self._properties:

Add 'not' to the test if the property is already in the dictionary.
