How do I remove period (or dot) at every line?
Submitted by Ethien on Saturday, 17 May, 2008 - 10:40
How do I remove period (or dot) at every line?

jEdit is a good program that I would like to use in my future projects except for one feature that really bothers me a great deal. That is period or dot shown at every line. I could not find a way to disable that. I have checked every option there is. I am pretty sure I am missing an option somewhere to turn that off.

I would like very much to continue using the jEdit without having to see period/dot at end of line.

Thanks in advance!

Multiple Buffer lists
Submitted by imgod2u on Thursday, 15 May, 2008 - 18:39
I find myself working on multiple projects at once and I'd ideally like to be able to separate the buffer list into different projects (in different windows). For instance, one window will have a buffer list containing all of the files I've opened in that window (that belong to project A of course) and the other window will have a separate buffer list that contain files opened in that window that belong to project B.

Is such a thing possible? Is there a plugin for this?
How to open more unsaved buffers?
Submitted by powery on Wednesday, 14 May, 2008 - 10:51
How to open more unsaved buffers? When only one unsaved unchanged buffer (Untitled-1) is open (no more open files), then using File/New or Ctrl+n action opens no buffer.

jEdit 4.3pre14

Any ideas?

Syntax highlighting for Rails 2 files
Submitted by mamboze on Saturday, 10 May, 2008 - 04:04
Hi,
I'm editing a Rails 2.0.2 app and I find that files with the .erb extension do not show any syntax highlighting. I'm using jEdit 4.3 pre10 with Java 1.6.0_03 on a Ubuntu Gutsy box.

What should I do to get some highlighting up and running?

Thnx in advance

My header files are always treated as Objective-C code... :-(
Submitted by ernest on Thursday, 8 May, 2008 - 22:19
How do I get jEdit to treat my headers as C++ code rather than Objective-C code? I know I can go into the buffer properties and change it, but is there some way I can make this a permanent (or project wide) association?

Thanks,

Multiple docked plugins in same area
Submitted by ernest on Monday, 5 May, 2008 - 15:51
Is there a way to dock more than one plugin in an area (such as at the bottom of the screen) and have them all be active? To be more specific, I'd like to be able to have the Console and the Task List displaying at the same time in the bottom dock region. is this possible? If not, is it planned for a future release?

Thanks,

Ernest

Mixed Mode Highlighting
Submitted by WarrickF on Thursday, 1 May, 2008 - 17:55
Hi All,

Is it possible to somehow have mixed mode highlighting.

We've added a custom mode for our own language, but when JavaScript it mixed into the page it does not get highlighted correctly.

What's the best way to approach this ?

Thanks

Template Accelerators - Keywords beginning with @ and other special chars
Submitted by WarrickF on Thursday, 1 May, 2008 - 13:39
Hi all, I'm having a problem setting up Keywords in Accelerator that begin with "@" and other special chars like "<". If I setup an accelerator called Test - all is good, if I name my accelerator @Test it does not work. The help says .... The plugin searches for the keyword from the current caret position in the textarea backwards to first whitespace character. However is seem like it only searches backward for char 1..9,a..z,A..Z Is this a bug or is there some workaround like escaping the char somehow (which I've tried)? Thanks Warrick
Position Cursor after Template Execution
Submitted by WarrickF on Wednesday, 30 April, 2008 - 17:08
Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to position my cursor after I execute a Template using the Templates plugin.

The Clipper plugin allows you to place a "|" (pipe) where you'd like to position the cursor, but I can't seem to find a way to do the same thing using the Templates plugin.

Thanks

Running Java from within jEdit
Submitted by Alan-LB on Saturday, 19 April, 2008 - 06:36
Sorry if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread.

Is there any way of compiling and running a program from within jEdit - ie shelling out to run "javac" and "java". I am using jEdit 4.3 with Windows XP Pro and JDK 6 update 5.

I have tried downloading the "console" plugin but it will not install - it comes up with an error message and suggests getting a later version of the plugin

Everything else works fine.

Waiting for buffer.save to finish
Submitted by ntbenari on Friday, 18 April, 2008 - 08:14
I have some commandos that start with
buffer.save(view,null,true);
after which I build a command to run.
Sometimes the save completes before the command
is run and sometimes it doesn't.
Writing
waitForConsole(view)
does seem to help.

Thanks for any help

Catalog problem in Linux Environment
Submitted by srikrishnan on Tuesday, 15 April, 2008 - 17:54
Hi All, I am using JEdit both in my windows as well as Ubuntu OSs. The same XML file vadlidates against it DTD by the mentioned catalog perfectly. But in Linux version it wont work. I have changed the path also from drive based windows platform to Folder based Linux platform in my catalog file. below is my catalog line: below is the first 2 lines in my errorlist window in JEdit: /media/hdd4/Journals/CUP/AHY/DC/S0667237807000000jra.xml (370 errors, 0 warnings) 2: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 5 Can anybody help me to sort out the catalog problem? Thanks in Advance, Srikrishnan
Disabling auto-indentation entirely?
Submitted by lisaklein20 on Friday, 4 April, 2008 - 13:52
I've been using JEdit for a few weeks now and have found it to be nearly perfect in almost every respect... however, I MUST find a way to disable the auto-indenting behavior!

Is there a setting that will allow ENTER to simply maintain the amount of indentation of the current line? Currently, the editor is frequently re-aligning, second-guessing, and overriding my tabbing. In general, I would really prefer additional control over indentation, rather than of having the editor force me into its own predefined indentation scheme (which suits my needs 90% of the time, but not always).

Any suggestions?
Find Whole Word only?
Submitted by harmlesscat on Monday, 31 March, 2008 - 03:10
In the Find dialog, I'd like to be able to search for whole words only. E.g., I want to search for the word "cat" but not match occurrences of "catalyst". I cannot just put spaces before and after the word, because there are word delimiters other than a space, such as a comma, period, semi-colon, etc.

Some editors, UltraEdit I believe being one, has a "Find Whole Word Only" option in the search dialog, but jEdit does not. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this in jEdit, via a plugin or perhaps a regular expression? (If the latter, I'd prefer not to have to manually enter every possible punctuation mark every time I search this way.)
plugins > plugin mgr > install tab > textarea fiont color (change color?)
Submitted by 222fbj on Sunday, 30 March, 2008 - 12:41
Where do I control the font color for this? I customized my edit area text colors with black background - and they look good. But the 'plugin install description' textarea is now black on black (ie if I highlight text with mouse I can see it.) I tried both on/off for Utilities > Global Options > Jedit Appearance > Experimental > 'Use Jedit text area colors in all text components'. All other text looks fine.

thanks

Templates won't work
Submitted by klaxon62 on Saturday, 29 March, 2008 - 00:51
Folks,
Working with a newish install of Jedit4.3pre9, and plugin Templates 3.3.0 on a Vista Home machine. Behaviour same with similar config on an XP machine. We have good working setup on 2 older installs on XP.

Templates are plain text, no extra code.

When trying to apply a template from the template tree, it fails silently -- text not inserted, no error message.

When applying template from menu Plugins->Templates, the I get the following dump.


If anyone could shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.
