Gedit Restore Tabs

This is a plugin for Gedit, the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment. It's a fork from the no more maintained restore-tabs plugin.

This plugin is for Gedit versions 3.36 and above (included in Ubuntu 20.04).

This plugin is NOT compatible with Gedit 2.x.

Upon starting Gedit, this plugin will try restore all open documents from the last Gedit window that was closed.
