I created an edit mode and added an entry for it in the catalog: I can apply the mode manually through the buffer options, but it doesn't get used automatically. the file I want it to work on is a *.txt file. Could my new mode not be working because the txt one is being used?

Howdy,

v5.1.0, OSX 10.9.2

Is there a way to switch between views via the keyboard? NOT buffers, views.

Don't see that in the menu anywhere, otherwise it could be bound to a shortcut key combo.

Using multiple monitors it seems the only way to go to the other screen is with the mouse.

I often have each view showing on a different monitor, and each view may show a different active buffer. When tabbing back into jEdit from another program, focus always switches to the primary monitor, even if secondary was active when the program last had focus. This means involving the mouse.

Any tips? Thanks!

I have a basic edit mode I'm creating and I want to make words bold when they have asterisks around them. This does it, but I'd rather have it work only if the * is right next to a word. The docs seem to say I can do it this way.

< SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD1" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE" AT_WORD_START="TRUE" >
< BEGIN >*< /BEGIN >
< END >*< /END >
< /SPAN >

In other words, I want *this to be bold*
But * this should not be bold *
Right now, both are getting bolded.

Thanks!

Hello.
I am currently using jEdit with my own defined mode file (mymode.xml). I'd like to customize the help menu. I've found the initial help page to be the welcome.html located under the doc directory.
But for the completeness of my IDE (based on jEdit), I would like to modify the contents structure of the help menu to include different html pages and a custom Contents. But I have not found where these files are located. Could you please help?
Best regards,
Luiz Razera

Hi all, I'm new to this community page. I would like to upload some of my jedit macros I wrote. How can I do that? I cannot find any related link on the files section.

The text for the API reference has always been small but after installing 5.1 the text has become microscopic, like spy story microdot small.

How can I enlarge it enough to read?

Hello,

is it possible to save file in ISO-10646-UCS-2 (alias csUnicode) encoding?

Thanks

Sorry for using this forum for a plugin-bug, but the e-mail of the developer of the ColumnRuler did not work. Could you please submit this report to Brad Mace, if you have a valid e-mail adress?

------------------

Hello Brad Mace,

using your ColumnRuler for jEdit since several years i really have to thank you a lot for this tool.

Updating to jEdit5.2pre1 and ColumnRuler 1.0.3 the indicator is misplaced to the Cursor as shown in the png-file, given with the link below.

Is there a possibility to correct this or did i make a mistake?

Thank you a lot for your efforts.

Best wishes
Hans Bauer

I want to be able to detect that jEdit is closing down in order to do some clean-up operations before it closes.
From browsing the API, it seems that I need to use the EditorExitRequested class, but I don't know how.
Can someone explain how this class is used?
Thank you

The default prompt (current working directory) is sometimes long and leaves no room on the command line. I would prefer to change the prompt to something minimal (like '$' on Linux or '>' on my Windows system). Seems there would be an easy way to do this, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

For:

· jEdit 5.1.0
· Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.5-b02, mixed mode)
· java version "1.8.0_05" (JRE
· Windows 7 64-bit

On my W7 64-bit computer, jEdit 5.1.0 runs fine, but when I exit jEdit it takes 20+ seconds to finally close. This behavior is new after my recent update to my JRE8 / Java SDK on this computer.

On my Windows Vista 32-bit computer, jEdit runs fine AND exits / closes straight away. This is true even though I updated the JRE to the same version as the one on my 64-bit computer.

Has anyone seen this? I've tried re-installing jEdit but otherwise have no ideas. At this point I simply close jEdit then minimize its window so that it's out of the way until it finally closes.

Cheers & thanks,
Riley

Incorrect highlight on code below. The problem is the character ":" on "li:first-child". The code is presented correctly when it is removed

The "Submit a bug" link, is not working, so, posting it here was the only way ive found to communicate this issue, sorry

Hi,
I try to install jEdit 4.1.0 on Windows Server 2012R2 but I get the message "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0".

I have an installed Java Server Runtime:

java -version
java version "1.8.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_20-b26)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.20-b23, mixed mode)

JAVA_HOME is setted. The JAVA_HOME\bin is in path.

Anything else to do?
TIA
Dirk

I've been using jEdit for Atari 2600 homebrew development since 2006. Spurred on by a fellow homebrewer, I recent delved into the plugins to figure out how to compile and run code from jEdit. I got it mostly working, though I ran into a problem with the environment variables. To figure out what was going on, I replaced my Custom Command for the Interpteter with an echo command and did some tests:

echo $f
/Users/darrellspice/Projects/Atari/Draconian/draconian.asm

echo $d
/Users/darrellspice/Projects/Atari/Draconian

echo $n
draconian.asm

echo $c
draconian

I know I can use multiple environment variables per command because my custom compile command works. The following compiles my source code (draconian.asm) and creates three output files(draconian.sym, draconian.lst and draconian.bin):
dasm $n -f3 -v0 -s$c.sym -l$c.lst -o$c.bin

For the interpreter step I needed to use the full path to the bin file, which is the source file with the extension .asm replaced with .bin. I thought that could be accomplished by $d/$c.bin but it fails to work.

echo $d/$c.bin
/Users/darrellspice/Projects/Atari/Draconian/.bin

The results I was expecting were:
/Users/darrellspice/Projects/Atari/Draconian/draconian.bin

So for some reason the second environment variable is being ignored. Any ideas? About jEdit shows:
jEdit 5.2pre1 server-background mode, using Oracle Corporation Java 1.7.0_67

In case you're wondering, Draconian is a port of Bosconian for the 2600. You can read about it, and even download a WIP ROM to run in Stella, over at AtariAge:

Thanks!

When writing code for the Atari 2600 I use the compiler dasm.

With dasm, the opcodes are case-insensitive so LDA can be written as LDA, lda, Lda, etc. As such, I've set the mode file to use <RULES IGNORE_CASE="TRUE">.

I've configured the mode file so the 2600's registers such as GRP0, which holds sprite0's shape for the current scanline^*, get syntax highlighted. However, dasm is case-sensitive when it comes to variable names. As such, if I type grp0 into my source code the compile will fail.

As such, I'd like to be able to make some of the keywords case-sensitive even though most of them are not. Can this be done with jEdit? My current mode file, assembly-6502, can be found here. I'm planning to do an update soon and will be renaming it Atari 2600 Assembly as the mode file's not really for generic 6502 assembly language.

^* Yep, just the current scanline. When the Atari 2600 was developed memory was extremely expensive, so much so that the 2600 only contains 128 bytes of RAM. So TIA, the video chip, was designed to be scanline based. This means the registers in TIA only contain enough information to draw a single scanline, so your code must update TIA's registers on each and every scanline in order to draw the screen the player sees.

I am a linux user and Jedit finds my Edit mode if only I run it as root.

I downloaded sass.xml from here and I put it into /usr/share/jedit/modes directory.
I add the node <MODE NAME="sass" FILE="sass.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.sass"/> into the file "catalog" inside the same folder.
I did the same into the /home/<user>/.jedit directory.

All plugins into this directory (user directory) works.
