When I drag and drop selected text, jedit by default copies the text. Is it possible to set it so that it just moves the text without copying?

Is there a way in jEdit to select a bunch of text and wrap it in, say, p tags? or div tags?

I mean without having to type them in obviously.

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...

Can anyone explain or point me to where I can find information on how to change/create jEdit color and font schemes? I've searched jEdit's forum and wiki, but found nothing. Thanks.

Hi, guys.

I'm enjoying using jEdit and wanted to know one thing.

I work with many remote servers which often have files in different encodings.

Can I somehow determine default encoding per server?

I have just started using jEdit and love it but I'm having trouble with drag and drop. If I drag an image into the text area, I don't get the same effect as with, say, Dreamweaver, where an img src code snippet appears in the text.

Is that meant to happen and what am I doing wrong?

Is there any way to vertically align code by any character such as equals and period?

I have folding set to 'sidekick.' In a javascript file if I have

function foo() {
/*
bla
bla
*/
}

it shows the fold for foo() but when clicked it doesn't hide the comments. since the comments are inside the function I'd expect them to be hidden also. How can I achieve this?

Thanks

I'm a new jEdit user and have just run across a "feature" that is causing me problems. When I position into a line of text containing space characters, with the cursor positioned immediately before a space charcter and then hit ENTER to break the line, the leading spaces (regardless of how many space characters there are) are removed from the new line. I work in a transaction processing environment and often have to parse message trace logs where space characters are just as important as any other character. How to I get jEdit to leave the spaces in the new line?

Is it possible to create a key binding? I want to create a key binding for Save As...

Hi.

Does anyone know of a plug-in that will do the following? I'd like to split the screen vertically into two panes. I want to see the 'same' file in both panes. In the left pane I want to see the first xx number of lines. In the right pane I want to see the same file but starting at xx + 1. When I scroll, both panes would scroll together. Basically, I want a second pane to show the 'overflow' lines from the first pane.

Thank you,
CJ.

I am looking for strings like:

"The Angry Squrl" [1/8]

I know how to do the RegEx - but when I search - the Caret is left at the beginning of the matched string. I want the Caret to be in a specific place so I can add things.

In the above example - I need the caret to be before the "[" character.

Is there a special character I can put into a search string that tells Jedt where to put the Caret if found?

My RegEx that finds the string is as follows:

\w+"\s+\[\d

I wish to know how I can uninstall ALL plug-ins in jEdit so I can reinstall only those I need, and more readily detected those, if any, which are giving me problems. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to jEdit, I like it very much except the feature - code complete. Here is the problem I met.

I've installed both SideKick and JavaSideKick. When I type in a dot after the name of a class or an object, only class methods are shown. Eg.When I typed in "System.", all the methods of class "System" will be shown; however, when I typed in "JFrame a = new JFrame()" and "a.", nothing was shown.

Could anyone give any hint? Or is it a bug for jEdit plugins?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody.

I think this has been asked before but I need to make double sure. Is there a setting (or plugin) that will autoclose brackets, braces, & parentheses? I've seen a couple of forum responses that suggest using abbreviations. I don't want this solution as I'd have to either use the space bar or c+;. I use jEdit as my principle tool for coding. It'd be great to have this small feature added.

Is this possible through ctags invocation options possibly? Apologies if that's a stupid question. A feature request there's no way at the mo? Would be lush.

When I try to open JEdit, it gets as far as instlling plug-ins then freezes up, and I cannot close it. Plese help.

Can I ask a little advice on configuration of Python for Jedit? I have installed JPyDebug as I found it a suggested plugin in another thread. It is installed but how do I actually configure it to work, as I am not quite sure on how to get it working?

Is there anything else that should be installed to make Jedit a productive environment? is there a stylecop or Pylint feature?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to jedit. I was using ultraedit before... I was used to perform a search usign key F3 whenever a word was selected.
How to configure jedit to do that?

So far, I have to use Ctrl-F and paste the word I want to search into.

thanks.

I have an xml with products: 0000007 The problem is that all serial numbers are the same. It is easy enough to search for the serial number but I want to increment the value, maybe using beanshell, for every new search hit. Is that possible? My thought was to convert the serial number to an int and increase the number but I guess this requires a global variable to be used as a counter. Can beanshell use global/persistent variables in the search dialog in jEdit? I am a fairly good java programmer but a novice with bsh and would very much appreciate some hints about where to start.
