Hi,

I'm using a nonstandard plugin, scalaMiniIDE, from

http://wiki.liftweb.net/index.php/SetUp_jEdit

which I really like, because it's a lot more stable than any of the
plugins for Eclipse, NetBeans, or IntelliJ. However, when starting
jEdit, I always get

/Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jars/MvnPlugin.jar:
Cannot start: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already connected
Try updating to a newer version of the plugin.

I apparently need Maven2 to use scalatest. I don't know Maven at all,
but I can probably follow the instructions on the above page, if I can
somehow remove the above plugin (not as easy as it sounds) and add a
good Maven2 plugin.

Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone successfully used scalatest
with jEdit?

Thanks,
Dave Matuszek

So this must be new to 4.3.2 or around there. But I've noticed that all of my whitespaces (on OSX) are being marked with a small dot. While I'm sure this is quite helpful, I find it distracting. How do I turn this off?

Why is jEdit creating additional files with a leading ~ ?
For example if I edit a main.bsh it will create a main.bsh~ next to the main.bsh.


Is there a way to stop jEdit from doing this ?
I want to edit files in a dir, which will get zipped and stored and i dont need additional files in it.

Hi,

jEdit Console commandos do not currently include Tcl/Tk. I was not
successful in finding any in the archives or references.
- Does anyone have the commandos to bind the Tclsh and Wish interpreters
into the Console and could provide them?


Thanks for your efforts and time- Gary Gabriel

Is there a way you can clear the contents of the console window by using keys? Like in the Windows command prompt you hit cls and the entire screen clears. If you hit cls in jEdit you will see the message that it exited with code 0 so it appears nothing went wrong but the screen does not clear. It's still full of junk.

And then tried assigning a few shortcut keys to the clear console command in the shortcuts menu but they don't work either. First I assigned cls to the clear console command and it did not clear the console. Then I assigned c to the same command and that didn't clear the window either.

Confused.

I have a basic question: When using the arrow keys to move the caret/cursor to the next line, the position stays where it's at opposed to moving to the beginning of the next line. How do I configure Jedit such that the cursor returns to the beginning of the line each time I use the arrow keys to move to next line?

Thanks!

I have two questions that have me battering my head against the wall ...

1. How do I configure Jedit so that the find box is empty when creating/opening a document. At the moment every time I start the progam the find box is filled with an old search criteria that I no longer need.

2. How do I arrange for the app to open at a particular location and with a specific sized window?

Thanks

I'm experimenting with jEdit and I downloaded the console plug-in so I don't have to open a command window. I can successfully compile and run my programs from the menu options on top but I also tried typing in the commands at the prompt but they fail.

To compile my program I've been typing: javac Experiment.java

To run my program I've been typing: java Experiment

But Jedit complains and has an exit code of 2

What's the deal?

I'd love to use jEdit for all my scripting work.

I installed the superscript plugin as explain here: http://groovy.codehaus.org/JEdit+Plugin
It's working fine but I couldn't find a way to add a keyboard shortcut to the "Execute script" button, and there is nothing available from the global options / shortcuts list or even in the plugin configuration.
Adding a shortcut to a command in jEdit is so basic stuff that I cannot believe it has not been done yet.

Before I try to dive into hacking the plugin to give access to the command from menus or shortcut, I thought I ask you guys if I didn't miss something?

Thanks in advance for any information.

This worked for me in previous versions (4.1 I believe).
From the docs (http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/scrolling.html):
> If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can use the wheel to scroll up and down in the text area.
> Various modifier keys change the action of the wheel:
> Shift - scrolls an entire page at a time.

Other modifier keys work with the scroll wheel as documented, it's just the Shift that is different.
This doesn't work for me in 4.3, instead it scrolls horizontally. Is there a way to get back the page scrolling behavior?

Thanks!

Where can I found possible commands for writing macros? Some I can find if I save a keyboard macro but they are not all (some others are in examples at the documentation).

Is it possible to have bracket matching - if I write e.g. "(" then ")" is added such that the caret is before it?

Is it possible to have a smart tab - jumping to columns of starts of words at the line above?

Thanks for any ideas, ludolf

Hi,

has somebody a sample of piping a text area to an external program and getting its output back like with vi
(http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/57727)?
I guess this should be possible, shouldn't it?

select text -> Console -> run current buffer gives "There is no interpreter associated with this buffer"

Thanks,
Juergen

I've been using Buffer Selector for a while with no problems in version 4.1final, and just upgraded JEdit to version 4.3.1 using java 1.6.0_18.
Buffer Selector now spews out stuff like this:
5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: Exception while sending message on EditBus:
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.gjt.sp.jedit.EBMessage.getSource()Lorg/gjt/sp/jedit/EBComponent;
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at bufferselector.BufferSelector.handleMessage(Unknown Source)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.dispatch(EditBus.java:212)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.sendImpl(EditBus.java:247)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.send(EditBus.java:188)
etc...

It appears to mostly work, but sometimes it won't update the current file when I click in a different buffer etc. Am I missing something, or is this plugin no longer supported?

Thanks for any help,
smeet

Maybe it was the upgrade to 4.3, but I've lost some jedit functionality:

Tag matching - the highlight in the gutter that would link an opening and closing html tag, for instance; and
Tag autocomplete - being able to hit the tab key and close a bold tag, for instance, after hitting just the open bracket and backslash

What option or plug in do I need?
thanks!

I am a newbie -- evaluating jedit cuz it looks like a better editor than what I have been using. Mostly I like the feature set of jedit, but one thing really bugs the heck out of me. It may be a show-stopper for me if I can't change this behavior. Specifically, when I right click and choose paste from the popup, the clipboard gets pasted at the cursor rather than the caret. I think I am using the terminology right... The caret is a stationary spot in the text area that is set by left clicking. The cursor is a dynamically changing spot which tracks mouse movement. All other editors I have ever used paste at the caret and that is the way I would like to have it work. Is there a way? A setting? A plugin? A macro?

jedit version = 4.3.1
OS = Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

If a file references other include files within it, is it possible to locate it in the File Browser without having to manually scroll through the File Browser? I was originally hoping it would be possible to right click on an include reference in order to see the actual file in the file structure.

many thanks

I have set my global options like this:

Tab Width: 4
Soft Tabs: checked

When I press the Tab character, the text is intended to the next multiple of 4 characters, and the intending is done by inserting spaces. This is OK.

When I however open a file which already containins tabs, these settings cause jedit to display the text alsoe tabulated to a multiple of 4, but there is no visual clue that we have a tab character (it looks not different from spaces).

What I would like, however, is the following behaviour:

- If the text contains "hard tabs", they should be displayed either using some special (rarely used) character - as most text editors do - or by using a different background colour - which I would prefer.

- In addition, I would like to set up a different tab width for hard tabs (for instance, 8 characters).

Is this possible with jEdit?

Hello, I'm hoping someone else can reproduce this frustrating problem that I experience 10 times a day. (PS I love JEdit and use it 8 hours a day).

Windows XP, Jedit 4.3.1
Plugin: Console 4.4.1 + ErrorList 1.8

I've implemented Error Patterns in Console to find errors from my c-compiler command line output. Works great. When compile is done, the error list plugin pops up with all the warnings / errors that I can click on to jump me to the code in question.

Problem: In the command window I type my build command and say it finishes with no errors or warnings. So I want to switch to a different directory (with a "cd" command) and run build again. Unfortunately, after I press the enter key after my first "cd" command, the focus suddenly jumps to the source window. I type very fast so I end up typing text into some random location in the source code.

Sounds trivial, but it happens again and again and again.

I've disabled "Auto-refocus on the text area" in the error list plugin, but that doesn't help.

Thoughts?

Many thanks

Steve

JEdit has some really nice syntax highlighting, e.g. for HTML and XML.

Occasionally I'd like to paste a snippet from jEdit into MS Word, unfortunately the format of the text is lost.

Is there a way, e.g. with a plugin, to get format information into Windows clipboard (I guess this would be Rich Text)?

Thanks,
Juergen

Hello, I'm just wondering if jEdit have the function to connect to a server via sFTP, then do all the work in sudo mode?

Right now I have to sFTP client to connect to server, use sudo with all the command including vi.

Please help. Thanks.
