Hi,

I need to edit files over an SSH connection.

I have tried to use the FTP plugin with "Open from Secure FTP Server", but it fails with an "Authentication has not been completed" message.

The thing is, I am quite sure that the remote server runs an scp server, but not an sFTP server.
Is this causing my problems, or is it something similar to what is described here?

I am not in control of the remote server, so I cannot change any settings there (or ask for them to be changed).

Please advice,
Barney

Can a macro or plugin be written to support dreamweaver-style file locks? If you're not familiar with these, they are files created having the same name as the file you're editing, but with a .LCK appended. The lock file contains your username and some other user info (email address, machine you are working on). Primitive, yes, but would be really nice to have in jEdit.

Thanks!

It would be helpful, if codebrowser would make the directory of ctags.exe the current directory for the ctags-process (and only for this process, not for jEdit) everytime it is started. So ctags.exe finds a ctags.cnf file in this directory.


Here's the reason:
I use ctags with a ctags.cnf file and have to store this file in a common directory, so that it will be available for all users. On Windows there seems to be only one appropriate site for ctags.cnf: the directory where ctags.exe resides. Well, that's pretty good, BUT: ctags founds the cnf only when this directory is the current working directory. I do it before starting jEdit, but it's nasty when You want to open files from outside jEdit, i.e. from the commandline...

As far as I can tell, from digging through the docs and the API, there's no support for mode-specific key bindings. This feature would be *really* useful.

Upgraded to newer version of this cool plugin and noticed now behavior. As I switch between open files, project viewer cursor updates its position according to opened file. It becomes very annoying, when working on many files in project (not fit in screen on left side).

Please add some checkbox or smth one may uncheck this "feature"

Thanx a lot for this great plugin!

I have default encoding UTF8. When I have opened files, set buffer encoding to eg. win1250, close jEdit and start it again, it again use UTF8 instead of win1250.

If anyone could develop a Swing Designer Plugin that supports the gridbag or absolute positionaing layouts then using Jedit for GUI apps would be like being kissed on the d*#k by a fairy (the winged angel kind!)

It would be very helpful to be able to click on a line number, including dragging, to select a field of text. Currently I'm unable to do that and it takes extra time to drag and select a single line of text.

How difficult would it be to add a toggle option to invert the shift/non-shift action? For quickly reviewing a file, I'd rather not have to reach for the keyboard to scroll text a screen at a time, or have to remember that jEdit will be doing something different from every other application I have installed. Equally, there are times when using a modifer key to scroll a few lines would be useful.

Thanks for reading.

I would be nice if double-clicking a file in code browser closed the file like some other buffer changers. Thanks.

Two requests for the XML plug-in of jedit:

1) A fix for the issue mentioned in the post "same problem with XSL stylesheets" of this thread: "http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1262/". Basically, JEdit doesn't look at the namespaces defined within a tag when judging whether a tag has a valid namespace, so if you have:

<xsp:page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp">

you get the error:

"test.xml:4:cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'xsp:page'."

even though the XML standards say that this is a perfectly acceptable way to declare a namespace.

2) Support for RELAX NG (the OASIS standard) schemas. Even better would be support for Sun-style RELAX NG with embedded Schematron schemas (http://www.sun.com/software/xml/developers/schematronaddon/), but I imagine this would be more trouble to add than it would be worth. Since basic RELAX NG is a very wide-spread standard however, it should be relatively easy to find a validator for it and integrate it with the existing XML plug-in for jedit.

I wanted to dock more than one Filesystem Browser Instance.

like:
FileSystem Browser 1
FileSystem Browser 2
...

I'm using Schema for my XML elements and DTD entities for a number of international characters and words. The problem is that jEdit can only validate if I use one or the other and detects hundreds of errors if I use both, making me turn validation off so I can get it at least to check for well-formedness. The strange thing is that XML Insert continues to suggest the correct elements (but not entities--it can only work from either the Schema or the DTD but not both). In other words, the validator sees the DTD and XML Insert sees the Schema. Is there a way to get jEdit to use both the DTD and the Schema? This is the only thing keeping me from using jEdit as my principal XML editor. Thanks!

Increase/decrease qutoe level, as per bbedit. Effectively allows one to strip ">" from the leftmost column of, say, email messages.

I want to quickly select and run velocity templates. The template tree view is very tedious. And I don't have any shortcuts left!!!

Also does velocity template have recursion feature? I want to setup a complete site building template so I can roll-out new client websites with ease.

When I use the "save as" feature, the editor does not "warn" me in case I choose a file name already exists. I would like to be warned in such case because it happens (not so seldom...) that someone, distracted by a colleague, overwrites the wrong file (thinking he's really saving the file using a *new* name).

Do you think it may be useful?
Many thanks!

If jEdit supported regular expression variable-length indentation 'brackets', then xml indenting could be supported natively, like so:

<PROPERTY NAME="lineOpeningBrackets" VALUE="&lt;[[:alphanum:]]+&gt;" />
<PROPERTY NAME="lineClosingBrackets" VALUE="&lt;[[:alphanum:]]+&gt;" />

Multiple brackets could be attained via the (bracket1|bracket2|...) clause in regular expressions.

Not only xml/html indenting, but all those edit modes with limited or no indentation support could finally support indentation correctly.

It would be handy when I could copy text from the console-plugin to the clipboard. Somehow this is not possible at the moment.
