By default gedit displays both windows and unix linebreaks properly, but it creates unix linebreaks. This can even give a resulting file with a mix of windows and unix linebreaks. It can be a problem if you e.g. want to create .bat files on linux and execute them on windows. By default gedit displays both windows and unix linebreaks properly, but it creates unix linebreaks.

=== Tip ===

If you replace the two first tools from the external tools list, you can let windows linebreaks have ctrl+F8 as shortcut and let unix linebreaks have ctrl+F7 as linebreaks. That makes it easy to press ctrl+F8 and then ctrl+F9 to close the shell output window.

Windows linebreaks

By default gedit displays both windows and unix linebreaks properly, but it creates unix linebreaks. This can even give a resulting file with a mix of windows and unix linebreaks. It can be a problem if you e.g. want to create .bat files on linux and execute them on windows. But it's possible to convert all linebreaks in a file to windows linebreaks, by enabling the external tools plugin and using a simple script.

Script for converting all linebreaks to windows linebreaks: 

s/\r//g
s/$//g
s/$/\r/

Script for converting all linebreaks to unix linebreaks: 

s/\r//g
s/$//g
