I have always been a fan of Gedit in Linux as my default text editor. How do I make it the defualt in Fedora 20 kde. I know that it is so in Gnome but I want the same in KDE. Is there a way?

Right-click on a text file -> Preferences -> Then there is a button for the file association.

That will open a dialog where you can change the default application for this file type. Select Gedit, put it on the first position and apply the changes.

    Is there a default application option from a central location? – Hououin Kyouma Mar 14 '14 at 14:11
  • There is something for default applications in the system settings, but not for text editors I think. Also there is "file associations" in the kde system settings, but that seems to be specific for individual file types. – stefandtw Mar 14 '14 at 17:30
  • I had the same problem. – Hououin Kyouma Mar 14 '14 at 17:53
  • Thanks stefandtw on a parallel problem. That method works perfectly for photo files! – doug.numbers Aug 04 '14 at 21:40

    There actually is a central location - _kind of_. When you change preferences for `text/plain`, you'll find out it's reflected in a whole bunch of other file types as well, because they somehow derive from `text/plain`. But it's not immediately visible... – kralyk Nov 11 '15 at 12:14
