Well done JT, now have it working.
For info, the process with Debian is not quite as easy as Ubuntu.
First you have to fetch gedit, it is not installed by default.
Then install the package gedit-plugins
Go to Edit > Preferences > Plugins and enable External Tools
Close gedit and re-open and choose Tools > Manage External Tools
Now the rub
The dialog looks just like the snippets manager, but I was unable to add any commands.
As I will never use gedit to launch a terminal, I edited that command to open arcbuddy and changed the Output field to 'Insert at cursor position'
Now it works
regards
PS
Naughty naughty, someone has been using Satans software! The file is littered with ^Ms

I've made some improvements including a name change to Arc Generator. Now one for Mills and one for front tool Lathes. I find it quite easy to generate a path with arcs using this tool.
Enjoy
