Console plugin
Submitted by CodeBender on Tuesday, 12 July, 2011 - 20:33
Is it possible to have the console window located in the edit buffer area (just another 'file' to edit) - instead of floating or docked? Would save some space on the screen and would 'hide' it when not used instead of moving/clicking around.

Can I get horizontal scrollbars with the Console window (and no wrap)? Large command lines get very confusing this way.

Can I make the Console stay at the position I moved the vertical scrollbar to (in case the position is other than the bottom) instead of being positioned to the end with every output? Useful for longer compiles/executes in case I already want to use the time to read through the output...

I really like jEdit. I havn't spent too much time yet but it's got excellent features. However I want to be fast in editing. Especially loading files (no clicking - I may get used to the EBrowser plugin), cycling through my buffers, typing commands - not forced to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to press buttons, menus or changing focus for the basic editing. I'm coming from SlickEdit V9 and am not that much convinced from its V16 - just too much auto this and that...

1. Plugin dockables can't be located in an edit pane or text area.

2. I don't think that You can enable horizontal scrollbars in Console dockable.

3. I don't think that You can influence the position of the caret when the Console dockable is opened. But maybe it would help You to redirect the commands output into a new buffer instead of going into the Console. This happens when You invoke a command with CTRL+ENTER instead of ENTER. I like this very much.

Hmmmm - could this be implemented in a reasonable amount of time?
Too bad I am too busy currently. I'll consider looking at the code when time permits...

Hi,

I am new to jEdit. Has anyone have idea why 'clear' and 'exit' command don't work in System console?

Thanks,
Bohan

The Console plugin starts a system shell in the background, invokes the command and catches it's output. Then the commands output is shown in the Console plugin's dockable.

So, I think that also "clear" works. But it clears the system shell in the background...
