GUI to configure default content type
The default content type, e.g. when opening gedit without a file, is "Plain Text".
As a user that uses gedit in file-less mode often for quick personal notes, I would prefer syntax highlighting for e.g. Markdown to be the default, instead of me having to manually select this content type every time I reopen gedit. As a possible solution, I would like to be able to set the default content type in the gedit preferences window.
Currently, the default content type is hardcoded in the method get_default_content_type
