Comment 1 Matěj Cepl 2016-07-27 18:01:55 UTC
My suggestion is NOTABUG ... apparently the folding plugin has not been rewritten to 3.12+ API. I have rewritten number of plugins, so you can take some motivation from (for example) https://gitlab.com/mcepl/gedit-reflow-plugin/commit/f3f8273095cbd5edd91f27dd5ffc9be9d7f8c593

The documentation for the all versions of API is https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/PluginsHowTos and http://web.archive.org/web/20150908135443/http://www.micahcarrick.com/writing-plugins-for-gedit-3-in-python.html
