where does Gedit save the settings? I am running Fedora 28 with LXDE. All I found was /home/username/.config/gedit/accels file but there is no settings info in it.
Interesting. They have to be under /home/your-user somewhere. Since Gedit is a gnome app, I wonder if the data is stored in some proprietary Gnome database under your home. I know Gnome stores desktop settings in a proprietary db/structure but it’s been so long since I have used Gnome or anything related to it I can’t remember at the moment.
EDIT: pan64 got it.

I have the same situation. It may be that Gedit usually uses the Gnome configuration area and neither you nor I are using Gnome. But why do you need to access the file — doesn't the Preferences option do what you want?

it does, but I am migrating from Linux Fedora 28 with LXDE to latest default Linux Fedora, which is Fedora 34 Gnome 40. SO, I thought I could just migrate the settings file instead of setting it manually again.
