I just started so please be patient. I would like to create Snippets files and External Tasks for developing rails in gedit.
To use any of these tasks go to Gedit, enable “External Tasks” plugin, go to Tools->External Tools… and create new task. Name it however you want, and put the command in the “Command(s):” textbox.
This will popup a bix with all available rake tasks to choose from and after selecting one it runs it in the conosle window in gedit.
rake `rake --tasks --silent | cut -d" " -f2 | zenity --list --title="Select rake task" --column="Task"`
