open whole folder in gedit Moving from OS X & Textmate to Ubuntu & gedit, the one feature of Textmate I am missing is it's command line tool. With `mate` I was able to open a folder as a Textmate project using `mate .` from within the required directory. This is enormously useful as it speeds up my system navigation considerably. Is there a way of doing the same or similar with gedit?

This was answered on Superuser, Gedit open current directory from terminal - Ubuntu 10.10. Looks like the answers are still relevant.
