Next/Previous Recent Buffer (recently viewed)
Submitted by chambery on Wednesday, 17 March, 2010 - 13:35
Hi,

Is there a way to bind a key to Next Recent Buffer and Previous Recent Buffer?

There's the "Go to Recent Buffer" available (which toggles between the last two buffers), but I'm looking for functionality along the lines of Eclipse, where the buffers are in "most recently viewed order". I'd like to be able to iterate up/down among them with a keybinding.

Thanks,

Todd

Moving rectangual selection of text with jedit?
Submitted by oleg on Friday, 5 March, 2010 - 17:00
Hi all!
I started using jedit a few weeks ago and I have couple of questions:

1) After making rectangular selection of text, how can I move text block left, right up or down. This feature would be very useful to change indentation of the code section

2) Can I force hypersearch to highlight the words it found within the buffers ?

3) Whenever I use multiple vncviews, jedit will only start in the vncview that I started first. Whenever I try to execute jedit in the other view, new jedit window pops up in the first vncview.

4) How can I make hypersearch bar to search within multiple buffers. Hypersearch bar searches only within current buffer, I need to pop the dialog to search multiple buffer. Having another check box next to the bar that switches between current buffer and multiple buffers would be very nice.

5) Hypersearch bar keeps the search history. It keeps 20 past searches. Does the tool allow to increase the size of this history buffer?
Use jEdit as external editor
Submitted by lg on Thursday, 4 March, 2010 - 09:43
I want to use jEdit as external editor for my e-mail client. When invoking an external editor my e-mail client creates a temporary file and then opens the editor with that file as the argument. Then when I am finished editing I need to close the editor to notify the parent process that I am done. However since I almost always have jEdit open I don't want to close it in full (I might have 5-10 other buffers open) when I am done writing my e-mail, just close the current buffer.

What I need is a switch to jEdit that starts a separate process, disconnected from the current running instance of jEdit. I have looked at the man page and seen -wait, -newview, -newplainview and other switches but no one seems to do what I need. Have I missed something or is this a missing feature I should report?

Thanks
Unfocused gutter border
Submitted by rovf on Monday, 1 March, 2010 - 14:57
What exactly is the *unfocused* gutter border (configurable in GlobalOptions/jEdit/Gutter)? So far, I have only seen the colouring for the *focused* gutter border (i.e. the border between gutter and text area).

How to change the Menu background to a color besides white?
Submitted by Think2010 on Wednesday, 17 February, 2010 - 01:57
In GlobalOptions:Editing there are options to change the font, but I didn't see one for color. In GlobalOptions:TextArea there are options to change the background color, but it doesn't effect menus.

I loaded Lookandfeel:Lipstick\Menu:Gradient\Themes:Default but don't see and option there either.
If this is not a feature I could probably modify Lookandfeel to do it. But I wanted to check here before trying that.
what happened to shtml capablities?
Submitted by cagirl on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010 - 09:25
I recently upgraded to jEdit 4.3.1, and now my favorite capabilities, tag completion and tag matching, are unavailable to shtml files. They're still there for html, but not shtml. I've tried changing the catalog, global options, etc. Can anyone tell me how to get these back?????

OpenIt plugin does not seem to work
Submitted by rovf on Thursday, 11 February, 2010 - 12:03
I see this problem with jEdit 4.3 pre16 on Windows and 4.3.1 on Linux:

When I invoke the OpenIt plugin, I get the entry field for the file name, but as I type, I do not get a list of files matching the name to be selected; and even if I did the full, absolut path to the file manually, and hit enter, nothing happens (and the OpenIt window stays open).

Furthermore, there seems to be no way to close the OpenIt window, nor to move it away.
Noisy jEdit keeps beeping
Submitted by rovf on Tuesday, 9 February, 2010 - 10:26
I'm running jEdit 4.3.1 (using Java 1.6, Linux, CDE). This jEdit seems to be in a "noisy mood": It usually beeps if

- I click somewhere into the text pane or a menu, or
- move the jEdit window

In particular because of the latter, I first thought it is a problem with the Window manager, but the problem occurs only with the jEdit window, not with the other windows.

Even more puzzling, the beep occurs only in maybe 80% of the cases. Sometimes, I can even do 5-6 clicks in a row without beep, and then I get a beep for the next 20-30 clicks consistently.

Any idea what is going on here?

Refresh view after each SearchAndReplace pair in a macro loop
Submitted by d_l on Sunday, 7 February, 2010 - 23:18
I have a macro with a number of SearchAndReplace steps in a loop.
I am not seeing the step-by-step changes in buffer view after each SearchandReplace
until macro end end.
What command can I add to force the refresh of TextArea after each pass of SearchAndReplace?

SearchAndReplace.setSearchString(textToSearch);
SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString(textToReplace);
SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view);
regexp plugin for multiple strings search and replace
Submitted by d_l on Thursday, 4 February, 2010 - 16:18
Xsearch plugin allows regex search and replace on individual strings ..

Is there a plugin which allows series of tags to be replaced from perhaps an external file?
regular expression, on how to match cross lines
Submitted by zhangweiwu on Sunday, 31 January, 2010 - 10:56
Hello.

By default single dot "." in jEdit do not match line break. In effect it is pretty much the same as [^\n].

When I want to match across multiple lines, I often use [^韡], which matches \n just fine. e.g. the following matches everything between Section and EndSection, it can match a few hundreds lines just fine:

Section[^韡]*EndSection

This method is "invented" by me, because my name 韡 is a really rare character that hardly used anywere, and I just need an impossible character in [^] so that I can match across lines.

I write this post to ask what is the standard way to do so, than my home-brew method.

Infoviewer external browser not working?
Submitted by wpong3@gmail.com on Friday, 22 January, 2010 - 20:35
Apologies if this is a faq, or a bug -- I don't think it is, so I'll post here (I did a search and hope I didn't miss) --

I've tried to configure Infoviewer plugin to use mozilla, but I can't seem to get it to work -- either with mozilla, or with IE. Here are the settings I'm using when trying to get mozilla to work...

Plugins > Plugin Options > Info Viewer > Choose Browser
"Use internal InfoViewer instead of HelpViewer" (I've tried with this checked *and* unchecked, no apparent difference)
"Choose Preferred Browser" > External Browser
"Configure Browser" > "External Browser Command" > C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (I've tried putting the path in quotes, w/o quotes, with quotes and double-slashes, no apparent difference)

I've looked at the activity log, but don't even find the word "mozilla" in the file, which suggests I'm doing something really silly, as jedit is (apparently) not even *trying* to parse my command line. What am I doing wrong?

FWIW, I'm runing wxp pro sp3. I've recently updated my j-edit install (was using 4.3 pre16, now using 4.3). I've installed the latest plugin.

Thanks all,
--wpong

Hi

I am getting these vertical gray lines in my files. I understand the function , but I would like to disable them. Does anyone know where they come from and how to disable them? They are quite distracting

Status bar time display problem
Submitted by rdindir on Sunday, 17 January, 2010 - 12:38
Hi,

I am new to the java environment and was trying out jedit. I have a question regarding the time in the status
bar. It displays the time in a different time zone (Pakistan time zone I believe). The Insert_Date macro
displays the date in PKT time zone and shows the same time on the status bar. It may be related to my JRE, but
am not sure.

How can I change this?

Regards,
Riza Dindir
