Autoclose Brackets
Submitted by CJreige on Saturday, 16 April, 2011 - 02:31
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.
Ctagsinterface: including arguments of tagged functions in tooltips?
Submitted by tp21 on Monday, 11 April, 2011 - 12:07
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.

Python and JPyDebug Config
Submitted by flebber on Friday, 8 April, 2011 - 10:39
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

search shortcut
Submitted by sebo on Thursday, 7 April, 2011 - 09:25
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.

ClojureShell classpath
Submitted by messinm on Saturday, 2 April, 2011 - 11:59
I'd like to change the classpath that ClojureShell uses to start the REPL. Is there a way to do this? The Clojure plugin allows for the user to select the classpath through the clojure commando, and I thought this would be used by ClojureShell, but it appears that ClojureShell uses a classpath that only includes clojure and clojure-contrib.
Change the syntax highlighting language
Submitted by Ayken on Tuesday, 29 March, 2011 - 09:43
Hey All!

How can I set the syntax highlighting language in jEdit?

It sometimes happens that autodetection of language fails, so I would like to explicitly set the language. Is that even possible in jEdit?

Notepad++ has a self-obvious "Language" menu, where I can choose from the list of all supported languages, and set the syntax highlighting to that. Does jEdit have something similar?
shifting a block of text
Submitted by 999alfred on Friday, 25 March, 2011 - 04:48
Is it possible to "shift" a rectangular block of text?
What I mean is I select a rectangle start at say column 20 and running to column 30 and encompasses 20 lines and then I want to move it two tabs right, hit tab twice. Now If I try this my text is deleted. If I 'cut' the text, tab over and paste it puts the first line there, but all the descending lines are placed at the left edge and all the text originally between the text and the left margin is moved below the pasted test.

How do I all of it tab'ed over and not delete my text? Is it possible?

building my translation model
Submitted by pat4kin on Thursday, 17 March, 2011 - 14:54
Hallo!
I have now finished the first phase of the process of building a model to translate my texts from English into German. The first eBook using it, for phrase translations will be uploaded in the next days.
As I began the process of using jEdit to create the model, I was looking for an editor that would allow me to create a workspace concept.
I would now like to extend the model with a set of exe one-liners to perform certain tasks. For this I would like to use the language AWK or one of its derivatives.
I am using it on my MS-Win-XP-Home system under cygwin. It is useful but the architecture is sub-optimal. Is any work being done on an AWK plugin. I would provide with the work I am doing using scripts written by others.
I would like to hear from decision makers or knowledgable members.
Regards,pat4kin.

Thanks for your time.
Viewing Output with GSview as .pdf
Submitted by trisquirrelon on Wednesday, 2 March, 2011 - 18:56
My Tutorial says that I can view a .pdf after compiling, once having defined the Default Viewer via Plugins->Plugin Options->LaTex tools->General Options I shall apply this path: C:/Programme/Ghostgum/Gsview/gsview32.exe
Unfortunately, opening Plugins->LaTeX Tools->View Output results in "path can not be found". How can I view my .tex file as .pdf?
See report below:
C:\Programme\jEdit> %kill
No process is currently running
cd "C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles"
C:/Programme/Ghostgum/Gsview/gsview32.exe 'C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles\pg15 RRZN manual exercise.pdf'
%detach
C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles> Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.
Process C:/Programme/Ghostgum/Gsview/gsview32.exe exited with code 1
Automatic formatting for CSS
Submitted by tp200 on Saturday, 26 February, 2011 - 20:02
We work on CSS with a group of people. Some like CSS in this format:

.style{width:100px;height:300px;float:left}
.style2{width:500px;height:10px;float:right}

Others like this:

.style {
width:100px;
height:300px;
float:left;
}
.style2 {
width:500px;
height:10px;
float:right;
}

(this format should preferable even have indenting, which I can not type in this forum)

Is there a way to toggle this switch in jEdit, so that each programmer just hits a key and switches the formatting?

Thanks!
changing actions associated with menu-bar menu items
Submitted by ronw on Saturday, 26 February, 2011 - 04:04
I figured out writing macros to run ctags on a file when it is saved or closed with pending changes. I found where I can re-assign actions to tool-bar items, and to context menu items, but I can't find any way to re-assign actions in menu-bar menu items to use my macros.

I assume I am overlooking something.
SQL Editor to highlight syntax
Submitted by hillman on Thursday, 24 February, 2011 - 02:37
Folks, I am new to JEdit and operate off of my personal Mac book (in the corporate world I use Windows and it's set of tools). I have a need to write SQL on my Mac and would like an editor to highlight syntax statements for Oracle for example. I do not see a plug-in indicating SQL, what am I missing?

Thanks.
where does sidekickctags hide the ctags file?
Submitted by ronw on Wednesday, 23 February, 2011 - 17:02
I have looked many places to find the ctags generated by sidekickctags and can't find it. I would like to use those ctags files with the Tags extension since it provides some features that sidekick does not, but requires manually running ctags, so I was hoping I could just point it at the ones made by sidekickctags.
ProjectViewer question
Submitted by ronw on Sunday, 20 February, 2011 - 08:55
I assume I overlooked something (new to jEdit), but when I added a new project, even after explicitly selecting it, it would not appear in the dockable window's Folder, File or Compact File listings until after I quit then restarted jEdit.

I am using jEdit 4.3.2 with ProjectViewer 3.0.1 on Windows XP SP3.

Submitted by tobi_h on Monday, 14 February, 2011 - 12:41
Good day all,

I see how I can jump to a certain line in a document, but how can I jump to a column in such a line?

I have searched quite some time but found nothing...

Thx in advance for your time to comment,

greets, tobi Smiling
