Hello,

I realise that jEdit has shortcut keys for moving to the beginning and end of lines. Is there a similar way to move the caret to the beginning and end of a *sentence* in text mode? Is jEdit, or perhaps a plugin, capable of recognising sentences?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to get my Alt key to work in Mac OS X. Whenever I try to use it as part of a shortcut, it instead writes a symbol (which symbol depends on what character I hit on the keyboard) into my buffer.

I searched for previous posts, and one suggested modifying my startup.bsh. I tried but still couldn't get my Alt key to function. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Below is the section in my startup.bsh:

/*{{{ Remapping modifier keys part I */

/* The below is the default, swap the items around to
* change meaning of C+, A+, M+, S+.
*/
//KeyEventTranslator.setModifierMapping(InputEvent.CTRL_MASK,
// InputEvent.ALT_MASK, InputEvent.META_MASK,
// InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK);

/* ... and this the MacOS default: */
KeyEventTranslator.setModifierMapping(InputEvent.META_MASK, /* == C+ */
InputEvent.CTRL_MASK, /* == A+ */
InputEvent.ALT_MASK, /* == M+ */
InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK /* == S+ */);

/*}}}*/

/*{{{ Remapping modifier keys part II */

/* Note if you chose to make use of the M+ (option key) prefix on MacOS, you
* will need to disable a little piece of code: */
Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED = false;
/* Otherwise M+ will be ignored for the purposes of keyboard shortcuts. */

/* But if you enable this, you might find that Option+8 for example invokes your
* macro but also inserts a bulletpoint, as per standard Macintosh keyboard
* behavior. To disable the Option key for inserting special high ASCII
* characters, uncomment this. Note that it has wider implications, notably
* DROVAK keyboard shortcuts will be mapped as if the keyboard was QWERTY. */
Debug.ALTERNATIVE_DISPATCHER = false;

/*}}}*/

Something has happened with our company linux cluster recently. I think they've limited the number of user threads or at the very least, have significantly reduced it. In either case, resizing the jedit window will consistently cause:

1:32:20 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"

Unfortunately, I do not have admin access nor do I think IT will change their policy just so I can use jedit. So my question would be, is there a way to find out what the maximum thread/nproc limit is for my user account and is there a way to limit how many threads jedit spawns?

I'm almost a complete noob when it comes to Java. The bulk of my expereience has come from working with beanshell to write macros for jEdit. On that note, I've decided to try to dive a little deeper, and write a plugin. I've got most of my programming sources ready to go, all I have left is to set up the dev environment. I'm currently using NetBeans IDE so I was wondering if anyone could help me set it up for writing plugins. I've managed to compile jEdit but when I try to work on, even the 'QuickNotepad' plugin from the tutorial, it says packages from jEdit are missing.

I posted this question earlier today, but for some reason it was deleted.
I try again:

I have downloaded the patch BufferList-collapse-on-save-fix.patch for the BufferList plugin. How do I apply this patch to the plugin? I use jEdit on a computer with Windows 7.

I am a new user and I am wondering if JEDIT supports matching on characters other than brackets? I've searched previous posts, and I have found requests for this type of operation, but no mention of it's support.

I would like to be able to jump between the beginning/end of old style c comments:

/**********
lots of lines of comments....
lots of lines of comments....
**********/


Thanks, Kevin Moore

The java.io.CharConversionException sites character '^'(U+2227) with encoding "Cp1252" on a save. I am guessing that i caused the error by hitting some key combination shortly before. It occurred first in a .py file, but also occurs in a .txt file. How do i get rid of this behavior?

Hi,

I'm using textArea's jEdit into my own application with StandaloneTextArea class.
This class has its own pop-up-menu but I'd like to create my own pop-up-menu. How can I disable that pop-up-menu?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help. I've noticed that in the latest version of jEdit that if I use "@throws" in a function comment (PHPDoc style) the syntax highlighting seems to go out of whack. Basically, if it sees @throws... inside a comment block, it highlights the line correctly, but then all proceeding lines seem to be highlighted as comments as well. For example:

/**
* Test
* @throws Exception
*/
public function test() {

}

Basically, instead of it seeing "*/" as the end of the comments, it continues to highlight "public function" as a comment as well. This didn't happen in earlier versions, from what I can tell, only newer versions.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks

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?
