How to save current document of Gedit using external tools?

Question

I need to save the current document before executing some command in external tools. How can I do that?

Answer 1

For each external tool, you can specify whether the current document (or all documents) should be saved before the tool runs. To do this:

1. In gedit, choose Tools->Manage External Tools...
2. Choose a tool on the left.
3. Next to Save:, choose Current Document if you'd like the current document to be saved before the tool runs.
