Does anyone know if there is currently a way that I can tell jEdit to remember Caret positions in the undo buffer?

We commonly will do several searches in a row trying to follow out the logic of a routine, then we want to be able to step back through the results, (or cursor locations,) using undo.

Any ideas?

Can jEdit count lines of code?
(not # of lines in file, but lines of code)

In jEdit 4.3pre16 (and also in 4.3pre13) running on Windows 2000, the "Optional.jar" plugin freezes jEdit. This can be most easily be seen in the following way:

(1) I install the "Optional.jar" plugin.
(2) Using the Plugin Manager, I make sure that "Optional" is the only plugin activated at the moment.
(3) I now click on Plugins/Plugin Options.

This freezes jEdit permamently, i.e. I have to use the task manager to kill it.

The problem might, of course, also be inside the plugin, but I don't know how to contact the plugin developer, Mr. Alan Ezust - but maybe he is reading this forum too.

Hello! Just recently I had to change form developing on a Mac to Windows. Well, on Mac I had this cool editor, called TextWrangler. I searched the web and found Jedit to be the most look-and-fell-alike to TextWrangler out there and that's awesome. Even the shortcuts are similar ; anyways, I managed to do all the setup and even my own syntax highlighting, but my only problem now is - I need to get rid of that automatic indentation. The language I program in has so many built in functions and procedures, that there are some files, that contain logical blocks of code consisting only of outer functions, thus the automatic indentation is working in the wrong place and throws my lines of code all over the place.

The only thing that I have not been able to shut down is the indentation when I type. I could shut off the auto indent when I press TAB or ENTER, but where can I shut the auto indend upon typing?

BIG thanks!

Hello,
is it possible to automatically backup a file which is stored on a remote filesystem? Although the options are checked to store a backup in a specific folder on saving, it doesn't save the backup when my file is stored on a ftp-server.

Thank you for any hints.
Marc

I noticed in some of the screen shots, on the www.jedit.org page, that vertical lines connecting program code lines, i.e. in HTML and similiar, when the lines are indented. I could not find this options. In the forum I found a discussion about this feature but no solution. Can anybody help? carolus

Hi , how do i create as2 or as3, I have mac vesion. I want to load things to get started, also when i downloaded jedit, does it come with flash as compiler?

Somewhere before my last upgrade (to rc16), the status bar file position has changed to include the (byte? character?) offset of the cursor in the first place of the status bar file position. I don't know what motivated this change - I find this information to be largely useless - but whatever.
I just want to know if I can configure this anywhere. I want to turn it off. I want the current line to be first and most prominent item of information there. The Status Bar options only let me configure the widgets on the right side.

I am unable to enter Thai characters into jEdit, and jEdit no longer displays Thai characters, but little square boxes instead. The files I'm looking at are loaded as utf-8.

I show below various parameters of my system. I had to set the locale by hand. No matter what I tried I could not get the system to do it.

I have a java based dictionary program as well, LEXiTRON, which will display Thai characters but will not allow me to enter them. OpenOffice, Text Editor, command line, Firefox, Thunderbird... no problems.

So I think it's java.

Anyone have any insight?

Thanks in advance.

I can't get Proxy Configuration right, with the effect that I can not use the Plugin Manager (connection times out).

I am behind a firewall, so I configured my Proxy settings in the same way as they work, for instance, for my Mozilla Browsers (SeaMonkey etc.). Still, jEdit seems to be unable to get through the firewall.

You can see here a screenshot of my Proxy settings:

I'm using jEit 4.3pre13 running on Windows 2000.

I'm working on a PHP singleton pattern file. This is the method which am getting a lot of errors from PHPParserPlugin/ErrorList

class MyClass
{
private static $instance;
private function __construct()
{
}
public static function getInstance()
{
if (!isset(self::$instance))
{
$class = __CLASS__;
self::$instance = new $class();
}
return self::$instance;
}
public function doSomething()
{
echo 'something';
}
}

This is valid code for creating a singleton class. (it compiles and runs fine). However the ErrorList is throwing tons of errors on these lines (because of the self::$instance I am using). I am using the most updated version of both plugins. Is there a way I can at least set to ignore these lines? because The structure browser won't list anything while it is returning the errors.

thanks,
-Danny

Hi all,
I’d like to ask if anybody knows how to set the Search dialogue size. I use jEdit for two activities - coding and reading e-books. For coding I use Courier font 12, but for reading I switch to Times New Roman 26 for better readibility. But with the font set this big size, the size of the Search dialog reflects it and is unnecessarily big. Is there a way to call the search with a set size, independent of the font used in textArea?

Thanks for any help, tvojeho

I had a few glimpses before, but want to start using jEdit for good now. However, I got kind of lost in the configuration dialogs, so I'm still missing a basic feature:

Where can I activate a button to close the current buffer? I already see the button in the task bar, but I'm looking for the one on the top right of the buffer window.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way / plug-in to automatically maintain correct relative URI reference in jEdit? Say if I move or save projects/mywebsite/aboutus/contact.html to projects/mywebsite/contact.html, original reference to CSS "../ali.css" should be automatically updated to "ali.css".

The feature was there in FrontPage before I switch to Linux.

Hi everybody,
The title says it all: is there a way to dock the lists? I'm talking about the lists that I get through the built-in macros: Display Shortcuts, Display Abbreviations, Display Actions, etc.
I'm using jEdit 4.3pre16.

I just installed jEdit 4.3pre16 on a XP windows worksation and now I can not open "large" text files, ~16 meg's. Up to 4.3pre15 I was able to do it. To open a ~16 meg file jEdit 4.3pre15 takes about 40 seconds (not the fastest text editor but once open it is as any other text editor and +), but with pre16 I quit after waiting more than 3 minutes. I noticed on the release notes that they got ridd off of the option -Xms192M. I really do not know if that have something to do with it, and maybe for small files that is not required and speed up the opening of a file, but it appears that it is required for large files. My setup for pre15 is:
C:\WINNT\system32\javaw.exe -Xms64M -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview.
I am using java 5.0_11.

Hi all,

How do I (can I?) uppercase the result of a find?

Thanks,

Hi

First the commando facility with the xml file is pretty excellent !... now my question : is it possible to invoke my command in interactive mode... it means that after running my command, I have to enter texts which may be differents...

Hello. I am a new user who want to stay compatible with my colleagues who uses vim. In vim there is a line-wrap mode called "fo+=w". Manual here:

w Trailing white space indicates a paragraph continues in the next line.
A line that ends in a non-white character ends a paragraph.

I want jEdit to behave similarly so we don't have a conflict when we both work on the same project. jEdit currently line-wrap by adding a EOL (end-of-line) right at the point of breaking, without trailing white space. This makes vim user difficult to edit the paragraph again. If vim user remove a word, the first word in the next line in the same paragraph would not flow up to the bottom of the current line as he expect, because the missing trailing space make vim think each line is a paragraph.

I could do a good goole out the solution because naturally it's hard to describe this problem. Can jEdit be configured compatible on this text formatting with vim?
