How to setup gedit to 'continue where I left'?

Question

How to setup gedit to 'continue where I left', open all the files closed previously? Any gedit plugins?

I know at least one trick, use an alias for gedit < file1 > < file2 > ... .

Answer 1

Two plugins I know of for doing this Restore Tabs plugin, and Session Saver plugin

you can find a link to Restore Tabs here: https://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins#third_party

The Session saver comes with the gedit-plugins package from Ubuntu's repositories.

Answer 2

The accepted answer didn't work for me now in 2021 but I found this plugin that does work in gedit 3.38.0 (Ubuntu 20.10).
