I'm going to modify my paste command to detect if jedit is in rectangular mode, if so then I will issue a vertical paste.
How do i detect jedit in is rectangular mode from the bash macro ?

Help!

I have lost macros and settings following a rash and ill-considered update from 4.5.3 to 5.0 pre and a subsequent re-installation of 4.5.2 (which is when the macro and other C:\User\[...]\.jedit files were overwritten with a clean install) (nb: this is a Windows 7 installation).

Anybody got a favorite free (or cheap) recovery solution? (Windows recovery/shadow solutions ain't an option... nor is going back in time and being not-stupid about making an adequate backup.) eSupport Undelete Plus finds the files in the "C:\Deleted 1200\" directory, but insists on payment to recover the .bsh files (which I am willing to do, but not if I can get them back for free...)

Thanks for the help in my panicking times!

I can't get netrexxJe to work anymore after upgrading to the latest jedit 4.5.2. I also can't use the plugin manager to get plugins, but that could be a proxy issue on this network.

I just downloaded the latest OSX bundles (stable and dev branch). When I attempt to open the application I get this message:
“jEdit” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Any ideas?

I'm using jEdit 4.5.1 on Linux (Centos 6.3) and I have loaded the Navigator plugin (version 2.4). When I try to edit the toolbar and add buttons (icons) for The Navigator "forward" and "back" actions, they show up in the Global Options dialog as I create them, but when I "apply" or "exit", they don't show up on the tool bar. I can create toolbar buttons for other Navigator actions and for actions from other plugins. I just can't add the forward and back actions.

Does anyone know of a problem that leads to this behavior? I'm coming back to jEdit after a year with slickEdit and I'm trying to restore a configuration I know I had before.

Hello,

I' ve got a following problem with jEdit 4.5.2 after last OpenJDK update to version 1.7.0_07. I use Arch Linux with LXDE as a desktop environment and Compiz Fusion as a window manager. Before the update everything worked as expected. However, after the update if the jEdit window loses focus, its text area becomes uneditable and the program is not responding to keyboard hotkeys. However, the buttons and menus still work perfectly. I can temporalily solve the problem by minimizing jEdit to taskbar and then restoring it, but it happens again with the next loss of focus, which is really frequent with autocompletion plugins. It is really annoying and makes my work harder. Please help me if someone knows the solution.

I'd like a simple macro to create ordered lists like so:

(1) A line of text.
(2) Another line of text.
(3) Another line of text.
(4) Another line of text.
(5) Another line of text.

I've already got a script that will put () at the beginning of each line, but I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically insert the numeral between the parentheses by adding +1 on each iteration.

TIA for any help.

Is there anyway to change the location that commando uses from user files to program files?

I have tried looking up help or usage information on jEdit plugins and can't find hardly anything. For instance Lucene, CodeHelper, and the console plugin. Specifically, I want to find out how the regexp processor for the error processor feature in the console plugin works. Does it apply all of the regexp definitions one at a time from top to bottom on every line of the output? Or, just it just apply the regexp definition at the top of the list and none of the others? Also, I don't understand how the "extra lines" regular expression can be used. The reason why I ask is that my build system does not output the full path to the file when an error occurs (only the file name itself). So, the error list window can't locate the file since it only knows file names relative to the top of the project tree.

Also, I'd like to find out whether the Lucene plugin can tie into the project viewer and process all files in the project as opposed to just the current or open buffers.

Finally, I'd like to troubleshoot the CodeHelper plugin's call tree feature as I can't seem to make it do anything at all.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Marc

I very much enjoyed using the SFTP file browser plugin along with the sshConsole plugin in an older version of jEdit on Windows XP. When I installed the newest version and tried to use these two plugins, the remote file browser worked but the sshconsole did not. When I clicked on a file in a remote folder (the sshconsole is supposed to move to the directory the file is in) it gave me an error like the following:

[no sftp:// connections?] >Last login: Sat Sep 22 16:24:03 2012 from 75.85.183.132
Error while running process: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connection port: ' Sat Sep 22 16'

I since got a new computer running Windows 7, and encounter the same problem (that's where the above error output comes from, to be precise). I tried it on Linux (Ubuntu), however, and the sshconsole worked fine. But I do enough work on Windows that I am anxious to fix it.

I couldn't find any option within jEdit to change connection ports, and if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with it. And I've searched online and haven't found any references to the problem in forums. Has anyone else encountered it? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your time.

How can i create/modify file in the background? I have this:

private final String filePath = "c:/dummy.txt";

void updateFile()
{
jEdit.newFile(view);
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
textArea.setText(Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString());
Buffer scratchBuffer = view.getBuffer();
scratchBuffer.save(view, filePath);
jEdit.closeBuffer(view, scratchBuffer);
}
updateFile();

It creates/modifies file dummy.txt, writes to it current date. It is opening new buffer so it is visible for a brief time, until the macro closes it.
Can I make this in the background?
