It is almost indistinguishable from the Oblivion colour scheme, if not for the LaTeX expressions which are handled better. I use gedit with my own dark colour scheme called Olvido.

Unfortunately, key-bindings for these sentence functions are nowhere to be found… Finally, I did not include published shortcuts that failed to work in gedit 3.8.3, nor shortcuts that are specific to optionally installed plugins, unless otherwise stated. In it, sentence navigation gets mentioned. For example, there is this specification of GtkTextIter, which is a component of GtkTextView providing text manipulation. However, by no means I pretend this list to be complete. Other combinations were reordered for better comprehension. Some key combinations were never published before. Here is my attempt at compiling an all-encompassing gedit keyboard shortcut list. This means there are more keyboard shortcuts at play than those documented in the gedit wiki. As Craig Russell brilliantly pointed out, gedit uses the GtkTextView widget to display and edit text. For sure, GNOME’s gedit wiki will direct you to a page with “official” keyboard shortcuts. Here is where things start to get interesting. One might ask: “Why bother writing about gedit keyboard shortcuts? Are those items not documented?” Well, not quite. Use of the computer mouse seriously disrupts the flow of creative electronic writing. This happens because keyboard typing is essentially a two-hands undertaking when one hand leaves the keyboard to grab a computer mouse, the other hand will mostly remain idle. Doing so will tremendously speed up work. Once one starts using gedit extensively for writing content, it becomes inevitable to learn a handful of keyboard shortcuts.

I also use gedit for preparing LaTeX and ConTeXt documents. Shortcuts to speedĪs a matter of fact, gedit happens to be the editor which I use for writing the Markdown documents that end up being converted to these web pages.
