I'm working on a plugin for the text editor Gedit in which I need to know when a new document is opened. Is there a signal which is emitted when that happens? The method do_activate in the ViewActivatable extension point is called when a new view (tab) is created but when a document is opened in an empty Gedit session the tab "Unsaved Document 1" is reused so no new view is created.

Gedit changes the window title to the title of the open document. This happens whenever you open or rename a document or switch between document tabs. I don't know exactly how a plugin is executed, but I believe it is possible to use
Gtk.Label.connect("notify::label", your_callback_function)in Gtk.Label responsible for the title to detect this change and thus know if a new document has been open.Of course, you will need to filter changes that occur due to switching tabs or renaming the file, but that doesn't seem like a big problem to me.
