does anyone have an exported profile that i could use to set all the shortcuts to windows standard ones? it would be nice if you could just select a shortcut scheme... *plugin/feature request*

The title sounds hideous but bear with me... When I type: /** and then hit enter. It would be great if the next '*' would automatically appear on clicking enter: /** * <- space here for formatting. Then if I clicked enter again, I'd get: /** * <- space here for formatting. * <- space here for formatting. When I add the final */ this auto-formatting ends; /** * <- space here for formatting. * <- space here for formatting. */ [Note that the string "<- space here for formatting." is just to let you know that a space comes after the *'s each time. It would be blank in practise... I hoped that was obvious ;)] It makes it really nice when writing JavaDoc / Doxygen / PHPDoc type comments. Of course as ever this should be an option, as it will annoy some people... we all have different tastes after all Thanks

It would be great if somehow a right mouse-click (i.e. context menu) would allow an option to go direct to a relevant programming manual.

e.g. If I'm editing a PHP file and I right mouse-click on file_get_contents() then the entry for that function in php.net is opened in a web browser. This functionality currently exists in other text editors. It would really make things easier. A similar thing for C or C++ and other languages would of course be great too.

Another cool idea would be so that when the user hovers over a library function a large tooltip appears showing the definition of the function and a one line description of what it does.

Apologies if this is already implemented somehow... I could not find it if it is.


Another idea is that feature requests and bugs should be all on sourceforge. It would seem more sensible.

Thanks again to all people involved in creating jEdit... I'm loving it

Hi,

I have noticed that there is a doxygen edit mode (doxygen is similar to javadoc or phpdoc for those who don't know - these are tools which autogenerate code documentation from specially formatted comments in source code).

The issue I have is that the edit mode for .php includes PHPDoc but doesn't include doxygen. I think the functionality should probably be that there is a default edit mode for php and a secondary edit mode which represents any auto-documentation edit mode types.

This would apply for people using java with javadoc, or php with phpdoc, or php with doxygen or c with doxygen etc. At the moment phpdoc edit mode seems to be hardwired in to php edit mode. I believe the primary / secondary edit mode work-around is more improved. Or at least have a way of selecting which auto-doc tool is to be associated with which files. I would like to be able to associate my php files with doxygen (as an editing mode) and not phpdoc.

Just a quick shout to all developers of this project... jEdit is awesome... especially as I develop on Windows, OSX and Linux at different times. It works on ALL of these... thanks thanks thanks :)

Hi all,

Long time reader, first time poster. I was thinking of adding a (probably awful) hack to the ActionBar to see if I could have the action bar do something like:

<ctrl+enter>action_name my_arg<enter>

For example, it could be "my.save.as filename.bak". Ofcourse, it would be a big effort to have this work for the built-in jEdit actions. But one could, perhaps, write a macro that took an argument like that. It would replace having to show a dialog box to collect simple input.

Any thoughts? Do you think it is possible and worth pursuing?

Cheers,
Irumat

Hi All,

I'm a total non-programmer so bear with me

I would love to be able to open/save to google docs (via a URL or ideally getting the doc list from google to choose file from within jEdit)?
I had a short play with python + gdata (docList?) and it seemed straight forward.

I hope that would give me some sort of syntax highlighting for google docs.


Cheers!

ValleySpeak Project Server allows the Project Managers to use Microsoft Project as a Managing tools in real time. It enables me to view and share the Microsoft Project schedules with team members in real time It lets me continue to use for managing your schedules and projects and at the same time it is easy to use and have access to the web based browser. It lets me to update the schedules through the browser. As the server uses the native Microsoft Project file, I can report the task in real time. It gives me the facilities far beyond what Microsoft Project alone provides, allowing to use the files in a collaborative environment. It provides 100% Two Way Integration with Microsoft Project. It also provides me with the Discussion forums that are helpful for you. It is easy to use it as it is compatible with Microsoft Project 2007 and provides highly secured solution with built in firewall and is used on Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista.for details visit http://www.valleyspeak.com

Hi all,

alongside my comments request, I'm also trying to open HTML or PDF files in jEdit, especially PDF.

I found LilyPondTool that opens PDF in a pop-up, but I couldn't just find a simple PDF plug-in... is there one?

For HTML, the aim would be to open and eventually annotate HTML files in wysiwyg GUI (not seeing the HTML code). Would there be any advice for this?

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to jEdit. I'm using it to experiment with edition in a general way, because I'm familiar with Java and because it is open-source with lots of plug-ins. I've just developped a basic plug-in and started browsing the existing ones.

I would like to use comments (or annotations) like there are in Word: not in the document, but about the document, displayed in a hover or dockable view. Apart from MS products (Word, XL) I don't really know any other editor that does this. I think maybe some PDF viewers do, or ebooks.

(caution: "comment" and "annotation" are not used here in the Java meaning)

Is there any plug-in that may do this?
Is there any plug-in that looks like going that way?

The only plug-in I found that looked vaguely interesting was TaskList which looks interesting because it shows extracted text in a dockable view. But none that addresses my particular issue.

Any help appreciated!
(otherwise this could become a feature request, but I'm not sure, I'm only experimenting here)

Love jedit. A couple changes to the favorites feature I'd love to see:

1) The ability to edit favorites. I use them to store FTP connections for the FTP plugin, and right now if a password, username, or path changes, I have to delete the whole entry and add it again.

2) Favorites saved on the fly. Right now it seems changes to favorites are only saved when you exit the program. A few times I've entered a new favorite only to have the program or machine crash later in the session and I lose the favorite I'd already entered. IMO these should be saved automatically any time they're changed.

Thanks

Please add an option for jEdit to call/execute its built-in function "Complete Word" for every word after N first characters of this word have been typed.
You see, typing Ctrl+B for each word is tiresome, why don't jEdit itself (automatically) show the list of possible words after Nth first letters of a word have been typed?

The sites I'm connecting to remotely have a pretty long authentication time for some reason. This makes it such that re-connecting after a connection has timed out painful. I've looked and there doesn't seem to currently be a way to do this but it'd be nice if you could manually set the timeout value and possibly set it to never.

It'd also be nice for a "keep connection alive" feature for servers that have a timeout built-in.

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to automatically hide docked views when they no longer have focus. I remember there used to be a plugin for that functionality quite a while ago, but it's no longer compatible with the latest version of jEdit. I also think better "intellisense" and code completion would be a major plus. A lot of times I have to keep switching between jEdit and the Java API docs because I can't remember exactly how a certain method is spelled. It would be much easier if I could see a list of methods pop up as soon as I type '.'

I wish I could chose the color of the caret and the color of the char inside the caret. So a block caret would be a real block, as it is in vim or even in konsole. The block caret should be a solid color, say black, when on empty char, and when on a char, the char is displayed against the block caret's color, like white on a black caret for example.

I see that the commands C-" and C-/ scrolls line but keeps the current line the same, so it disappears off screen if you scroll up down too far, and then if you use UP Down or similar navigation commands the screen jumps back to the current line.

I want a scroll line that keeps the current line at the same position on the screen, meaning if I scoll one line up, the current line also move one line up. Just like C-Up is done in NP++ and Cream.

I would love to see some File Brower enhancements, namely:
- multitabs for directories. I'm constantly switching directories. Of course this can be done with favorites but it would be handier to have those directories in different tabs (as TotalCommander does)

In addition it would be nice if there would be an option to automatically switch to directory of current buffer.

- Favorites should by renamable. Showing the tree as name is counterproductive if your tree has more than 5 nodes (in mine there are often more then 20). Why not give it an userdefined alias?

What do you think?

Great work so far!

Just my two cents/wishes

Would anyone be interested in adding a feature to the diff functionality of the SVN Plug-in?

When I'm in the SVN Browser, and I right click a file and select diff, it would be great if the "Revision" option, allowed us to select from the available revisions. I picture something like a "..." button, that when clicked, opens a small window showing the available revision numbers, and the comment created for each revision, and allows you to select one of the revisions to diff with. The comment is actually more important to me than the revision number since we use our own internal versioning scheme, and we use the comment field to hold our internal revision numbers.

Any thoughts, or volunteers?

Thanks
J.R.

It would be really handy for the Find dialog to be dockable - I find it really handy to leave the dialog open while stepping through search results but at work I'm often stuck with limited screen real estate so the dialog obscures the text area.

Does anyone have or is anyone working on plugin for formatting JSON data similar to the XML Indenter plugin? With JSON becoming a popular protocal for those developing rich web applications it would be real useful to be able to take a long JSON string intended for computer processing and format it in a way a human could read it.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi, I'm programming in Java and I really love the highlighting of Java. However, in Java 5 a new feature has been added to the language: generics. For those who don't know (from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/generics.html): Generics provides a way for you to communicate the type of a collection to the compiler, so that it can be checked. Once the compiler knows the element type of the collection, the compiler can check that you have used the collection consistently and can insert the correct casts on values being taken out of the collection. This is placed between '<' and '>'. It would be nice if the generics would be highlighted. As I'm not an expert, I did not succeed in correctly editting the current highlight specification of Java in jEdit; if I do, expression with a '<' inside will start hightling the remaining part.
