With WindowManager, you can also minimize most windows to the system tray. You can also make WindowManager send keystrokes or mouse clicks to a program when its window is opened, run additional programs, and other advanced actions.


The window handling is fully customizable, and you can set up special rules for your favorite or most frequently used windows. WindowManager makes sure your windows are placed where you want them every time you open them and even allows you to lock the window's position and size to always open at the same spot no matter where you move it. This is essential when you are hopping between sessions because many programs don't remember their position and size, and even Windows Explorer does not restore the windows to their last position (Windows 7 or higher). So, this thread, even in 2014, was about a program that had been abandoned three years earlier.WindowManager will remember and restore your programs and windows' position and size, allowing you to improve your workflow by having everything where you want it - always. The last official Mac binary dates from 2011. Furthermore, the Gedit project itself appears to have been abandoned. On UNIX or Linux, I normally just use vim. I would never use a default text editor for coding. Apparently Gedit is the built-in editor for the Gnome window manager, making it roughly the equivalent of TextEdit for the Mac. In the 3 years since I first learned of Gedit, I have encountered it exactly zero times. From then, until three years ago, I had never heard of Gedit. In the three years since this question was started, there has been an explosion of new text editors for coding.

There are many fine text editors, specifically designed for coding, that run on the Mac. But TextEdit does have a number of other neat tricks. I agree that TextEdit would be a joke for code editing.
