Having installed several plugins, the 'Plugins' menu is getting rather congested. Doing anything requires drilling down several levels--AFAICT, as an end user (as opposed to a plugin provider) I can't assign any menu items to frequently used actions in plugins, nor apparently can the plugin writers put their menu items anywhere except under the Plugins menu. (I can assign shortcut keys to plugin actions, but I'm running out of them, too; and I'm allergic to toolbars.) Also, letter accelerators (like FC for File | Close) don't work with plugins, either. Is there any way for an end user (who is not a Java programmer) to modify the main menu structure? (I know that the Utilities | Global dlg allows me to modify the right-click menu, but I want to be able to modify the main menu bar.) I'm using 4.2 at the office, and don't have any control over that. (I suppose we'll move to 4.3 when it's finalized; maybe that solves my problem?)

Hi, I am using XML Schema for validation and there are situations where there are only a limited number of allowed attribute values. I have seen that jEdit sometimes creates dropdown lists with allowed attribute values (e.g. when editing a schema), but I could not find out how this is done. At least, xsd:enumeration in the following schema expression does not lead to such a value dropdown: A similar situation are key references. It seems desirable to propose a list of existing keys for key reference attributes. But I can understand that it is not trivial to get this list and in very large documents it might not be so desirable after all. Anyhow, is there a way to get a dropdown for attribute enumerations as shown above? Cheers, Dietrich

Hi All,

Is it possible to set default file selection option for some extensions (e.g. .txt,.xml,etc), for the purpose of opening them my double click the files in Windows, just like in other applications?

The title says it all: are there any SQL parsers available for jEdit?

Hi,

Very quick question. What do i have to modify in order to change the autoindent from a TAB to three spaces when working with .java files. I had a look around, and i found the file i needed to change, but i couldn't work out what it was that needed changing, as it were.

Thanks enormously,

Tom

I'd like to switch to using jEdit, but I've run into a major stumbling block. I do all my coding using voice recognition software, and I'm writing a lot of code in Python. I want to run Python scripts through the Jython Interpreter, but I can't figure out how to set up a shortcut key that's the equivalent of putting the "run current buffer" button (if I can set up a shortcut key, I can run the sucker by voice). In Global Options -->Shortcuts, it lists the Jython interpreter plug-in, but all the commands seem to do the same thing -- just open up the interpreter. Any idea how I can work around this?

Thanks,

Hi,
the block-fill feature of TextTools Plugin doesn't insert more characters per line than fit into the selection's width (the text is cut).

A macro with a different behavior can be downloaded here.

These are the differences to the original function of TextTools Plugin:

1. No choice to overwrite or not the selection. Instead, the selected text is deleted and the new text or number is inserted with it's full length. When numbering, the longest inserted number defines the length of inserted text.

2. Improved performance on large selections because of:
- Removed support for multiple selections (what's the expected result else?)
- Removed support for tab handling (there should be no tabs ...)

Hi All,

I just downloaded and installed jedit4.3pre12 on my Mac OS X(10.4.11) using the .dmg file. Once installsed, I tried loading a large file (~27MB) and I got a "OutOfMemory" error. I've seen this posted before, but I can't seem to find the Info.plist file folks mention to modify. How do you modify the java VM parameters? (this is probably more a Mac question, I suspect. I'm new to the Mac, having used the windows version of jedit).

thanx

Hi All,

Is it possible to take printout of Default as well as User defined shortcuts list, for our easy reference?

I was wondering if other people have any problem with VK_TAB as accept key on TextAutocomplete.
It simply doesn't work for me. I can only complete with VK_ENTER. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Not sure if it is a bug. I simply put VK_TAB but nothing happens when I try to complete. It doesn't work on default either.

I haven't been able to make TextAutocomplete plugin recognize Cobol procedure names in a format like:

000000-MAIN-ROUTINE

Since there are numbers and a dash this is ignored. According to the documentation I should modify the "Is word to remember" option but I couldn't make it work like it should.

Hi All,

Is there any option to count and display the number of find/find & Replace done in the selected buffer/file?

Hi All,

I am new to this forum.

I came to knew about JEdit through the Book "XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference, Third Edition by Michael Kay" which I bought last year.

From the date onwards I am using JEdit instead of Ultra edit on both of my "Windows XP" and "Ubuntu" Operating Systems.

It is incomparable even with any proprietary softwares.

First of all I thanks all of those who developing this Editor.

I have one doubt, very often I need to compare two documents. But I am not able to found any option for that purpose in JEdit.

Is there any option for that?

Regards,
Srikrishnan

When I edit PL-SQL files in jedit, with jedit set to PL-SQL (or any other SQL) mode, C-i removes all indentation rather than fixing it. For example

BEGIN
____select seq.nextval into col1 from dual ;
____return col1;
END;

becomes

BEGIN
select seq.nextval into col1 from dual ;
return col1;
END;

after C-i

How can I fix this?

(had to add underscores since the forum removed leading spaces and tabs)

Problem:
Activating and deactivating 'multiple selection mode' is easy to do and works well. The problem is, I am looking for a way to obtain multiple selections automatically via macro, without having to hand-click the selections I want with the mouse.

The goal is to:
1) be able to multi-select every occurrence of a regex match in the entire document;
2) be able to multi-select every occurrence of a regex match within a specified line range (or within current selection);
3) do all of this without having to use the mouse

TIA for any info or pointers.

I'd like a Console command to run in the background.
If I enter & at the end of the line within the Console
window it works, but I get parse errors when I try to add
it in the Commando xml file.
I've tried:
buf.append('&');
buf.append('&&');
buf.append('\&');
and every other escape I can think of ... but no luck.

Thanks

Hi,

I've recently installed 4.3pre11 on Windows Vista and I'm having trouble getting any play from -reuseview.

Previously I've used 4.1, then 4.2 + Ollie R's jEditLauncher to achieve the same effect, but this time I thought I'd brace myself and get jEdit using a single view without resorting to jEditLauncher. I don't seem to be able to do it though. I can see on the forum that other people have succeeded, which inspires hope.

My use case is:
open Windows Explorer.
navigate to a folder with some text files in it
select two text files
right-click the selection and choose 'Open with jEdit'
BAM - two jEdit windows.

jEdit server is set up to run on startup, and is running during the above use case:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms64M -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview -background -nogui
(when first installed the -reuseview option wasn't there, I added it in a forlorn attempt to circumvent the problem).

The 'Open with jEdit' command associated with '*' in the registry under HKCR looks like:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with jEdit\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.6.0_02\\bin\\javaw.exe\" -Xms64M -Xmx192M -jar \"C:\\Program Files\\jEdit\\jedit.jar\" -reuseview \"%1\""
(this is as installed).

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Tim

I've never used JEdit and am relatively new to the Java community, so please be gentle
I need to provide a very basic text editor in my swing app. I don't think a commercial app would be allowed to distribute JEdit is my understanding but anyway the distribution footprint is likely too large for my needs...

Rather than reinventing the wheel are there any freely available fine tuned lightweight editors available in a jar that I can use for this purpose?

Thanks,

Tom.
