Custom File Extensions: Enabling syntax highlighting and abbreviations for
Submitted by navin on Sunday, 4 October, 2009 - 18:34
Hello all,
Please forgive me for this newbie question. I have been using jEdit successfully for a while now to create PHP scripts. I have recently started using the CakePHP framework and intend to keep using jEdit as my primary editor. However, CakePHP requires PHP/HTML code in certain files that don't have names that end in the familiar .php extension. I'd like to enable PHP syntax highlighting and abbreviation support for such files. My question is: How do I get jEdit to use PHP mode for files that don't have names that end with the .php extension?

Thanks,
Navin
Create new file from template
Submitted by rafael.felix on Wednesday, 23 September, 2009 - 22:27
First of all, i'd like to thank the jedit team for letting us use this fantastic editor. It is by far the best programming editor i've ever worked with.

But now here is the question: is there any way to create a file from a template? (Like those in Microsoft Word?)

I work with multiple php frameworks and it really sucks to have to create new controllers, models and views from scratch everytime.

thanks!
external editor parameters of code composer

Hello,

i want to use jEdit as an external editor of Code Composer 3.1. I have tried a lot of things but nothing works. Especially i want to set up a line parameter which tells jEdit to go to a specific line.

Here you will find a screenshot of the configuration dialog of Code Composer for external editors:

Setting to remember window size/position/monitor from last time?
Submitted by KimBastin on Friday, 28 August, 2009 - 02:40
When I used JEdit 4.3pre16, it used to open its window the same size and position and on the same monitor as it was when I last quit the program. (I use a two-monitor system.) But 4.3pre17 always opens in the middle of the primary monitor and always quite small, so I have to drag it larger. Evidently a setting has been lost in the update, but I can't find it.

What's the setting to make Jedit remember its window settings from the last time it was run?

Running on WinXP (SP3), Java 1.6.0_15.
Multiple untitled buffers
Submitted by tj.rothwell on Wednesday, 5 August, 2009 - 17:46
I sometimes like to have multiple untitled buffers open at one time. Is this possible in jEdit?

It appears that once a single untitled buffer open, no additional buffers will be created.

Thanks!
Infoviewer configuration with Windows XP
Submitted by Gary Gabriel on Monday, 3 August, 2009 - 11:32
Hi,

I would like to be able to work more effectively and use Infoviewer with Firefox as external browser for .html texts. But I can't seem to find the right configuration. I get the following errors with the last configuration that I tried:

[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: (external): openURL: file:C:\2009\Temp2009\20091Pub_SisA7_LeadManage_Scribd.htm
[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: args[0]=C:\Programme\MozillaFirefox\firefox.exe
[debug] InfoViewerPlugin: args[1]=file:C:\2009\Temp2009\20091Pub_SisA7_LeadManage_Scribd.htm


If someone could give me a tip on what to tweak; i would appreciate it. Or a tip on where to look for more info- I tried the plugin help, and the wiki.

Thanks- Gary Gabriel

Highlighting Headers in Html Edit Mode
Submitted by Gary Gabriel on Saturday, 25 July, 2009 - 08:15
Hi,

I use jEdit to code html and to write html formatted content. For writing content jEdit html mode proves trying and detracts from focusing on the content, and the content logic or flow. I'm searching for a better solution where the header tags h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6 are highlighted. This supports connection of the content logic. It also enables faster orientation in the page and much less time spent looking for a specific page point.

Are there alternatives to offer the highlighting or an easy orientation on the headers? InfoViewer does not highlight (html) headers hence not offering relief.

Or is there another possibility to use?

Thanks for your help- Gary Gabriel
Proper colors for inline CSS
Submitted by Lobotom on Wednesday, 22 July, 2009 - 08:30
Hi people,
I have had jEdit installed on my comp for two years or so, and for the last months I've been using it intensively for making web pages : my main benefit from jEdit was to easily spot details of CSS properties, as I had the content of the style="" attribute displayed just like CSS in a .css file, green prop names and pink/red/blue values.

Now for no good reason yesterday I decided to update jEdit to 4.2 final and behold! I have lost all embedding functionnality. I used to almost never mind jEdit settings, so I'm not sure what my previous install was, I do remember I kicked off out-of-date plugins (one or two) after 4.2 was installed.

I've been trying any kind of plugins and modes since yesterday, including "A colouful HTML" which does NOT work well at all (for my 4.2 at least, random HTML tag color choices, same for CSS) but I couldn't find anything that would do it.
I'm in dire need for retrieving an equivalent of my previous install, and much frustrated that an update threw me back to the stone-age of editing comfort. I could try another editor, but hey, I feel familiar with jEdit and I'd prefer trying it all before waving it bye-bye.

Any clue or direction is very welcome.

(As a side note I'll add that the css.xml that comes with a 4.2 final fresh install doesn't even work properly : in pure CSS files I've noticed some properties names, like "top", are mistaken with values).
List open files in alphabetical order
Submitted by optigon on Sunday, 19 July, 2009 - 16:18
I have been using Jedit for a few years. Thanks.

My question is about how recently opened files are listed in the buffer pull down list. I believe at some point they were listed alphabetically, but now (mine) are listed by most recently opened.

Is there an option for making the list of opened files alphabetical?

Trying to use plugins with a StandaloneTextArea
Submitted by frisco on Thursday, 16 July, 2009 - 09:52
I want to use jEdit to replace our old TextArea component in an custom Java Ide, I have been able to create the textarea in an empty frame and load java mode to have syntax higlightning (I was unable to load it from the jar, but it is working).
Now I want to add code completion to the text area I have seen that I should use JavaSideKick to do that but as far as I see there is no way to load plugins in the TextArea version (PluginJar is missing and it seems to use some kind of connection that TextArea does not have).
So I ask for help here, maybe I am missing something or someone has any idea on how to load plugins in an Standalone TextArea?
More than one buffer for a file in one view
Submitted by weberjn on Wednesday, 1 July, 2009 - 11:24
Hi,

sometimes I'd need for large files to have the file in more than one buffer to be able to have a cursor at several positions in the file.
e.g. I'd like to have one buffer that shows the start of the file and one where the cursor is positioned at the end.
Is this possible?
I have read http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/3870
but I'd not like to have several views.

Thanks,

Change gutter line numbering interval
Submitted by kircheis on Friday, 19 June, 2009 - 16:24
Is it possible to change the gutter numbering interval (without folds)? For example, instead of

1
2
3

Show every 10 numbers

10
20
30

That would make it easier to follow Cobol code when I have it on jEdit and on the Mainframe terminal screen.
Mac OS X & Fonts
Submitted by warhammerkid on Wednesday, 17 June, 2009 - 15:12
I just thought I'd let people know who are using Mac OS X that the latest Java update from Apple fixes all the old font problems. In addition, it introduces some interesting changes to anti-aliasing.

(Problems were things like the cursor not showing up in the right place if you weren't using the default fonts)
getting a spell-checker plugin to work
Submitted by jwight on Saturday, 13 June, 2009 - 19:26
I just installed jEdit. Then I installed SpellCheck. Then I reinstalled Aspell.
Whem I tried to reinstalled jEdit in Aspell/bin and TmpInstall Aspell, I got a
I/O error.spell-checker plugin

SpellCheck is an jEdit plugin to perform spell checking of text in a jEdit
buffer. You will need to install Aspell (http://aspell.sf.net/) before using
this plugin. Aspell is available for Windows and a variety of UNIX platforms.

I have windowsXP Home SP3.

I can't use commands or scripts because of stroke but if someone explanes
carefully.....

I had a few problems getting a spell-checker plugin to work correctly with
Notepadd++ After several attempts and in this order, it worked!

From: http://aspell.net/win32/

1: Install GNU Full Installer "Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup" to default location:
C:\Program Files\Aspell
2: Install "Aspell-en-0.50-2-3" (English dictionary)
3: Install Notepad++ "npp.5.4.1.Installer" to “C:\Program Files\Aspell\bin”
4: Launch Notepad++

I no longer use Notepadd++.

Looks like I have to remove jEdit. them put jedit42install to “C:\Program Files
\Aspell\bin”. then Launch jEdit then use jEdit Plugins to Plugin manager to
run SpellCheck.

Right?
matching preprocessor
Submitted by DSPWANG on Tuesday, 9 June, 2009 - 17:26
Hello,

is there a way to match C/C++ preprocessor directives, such as matching from #if to #endif, and match #elif or #else in between. Similar to the functionality in Vim using the "%" (percent) key; and possibly with the extended functionality of "matchit" plug-in in Vim.

thanks in advance.
