Hi,
A feature to cycle back through the buffer history of recently edited files would be great.
e.g. ultra-edit,ms visual studio, komodo etc. hold down ctrl and press tab repeatedly to cycle back through most recently edited files.
e.g. alt-tab in windows to cycle to most recently used application.
Thanks
Michael

If I have:

<product> Cereal ....etc. </product>

and I fold it, I get:

<product> [26 lines]
</product>

It is possible to get something like:

<product>Cereal...[26 lines]

1. Don't show the end tag, it adds no information: more space efficient

2. Do show the 1st line of element/attribute content: "outline" readable when folded

Thanks!

I had just downloaded JEdit. I had seen in JEdit screenshot different layout for main window that include console, file manager and so on. How can I set my window layout? I must download a plugin? and wath plugin I must download? thanks to all

Any one know if it's possible to add a language pack to JEdit?

VB NET support will be a good thing

I would like to see one nice feature in jEdit for PHP-Mode (or generally in all possible for other people). Just a simple code analyzer. Didn´t found it as plugin, yet. It should parse the current buffer for i.e. uninitialized variables (assigning values before initializing it), unused variables (used only on time), scanning statements (wrong operators = instead of == or =< instead of <= and so on), check line ends on : instead of ; (this happens often to "fast writers" like me ) resulting in "parse error" and listing of all functions including parameters for quick navigation (although it can be done by using folding smartly). This is the only big missing point for me against one special commercial PHP-IDE and I won´t miss jEdit anymore after two years and waiting impatiently for 4.2final. Of course, I could setup a PHP-Script for this but programmers are some kind of lazy - you know what I mean...

Hi-

Could Saxan support be added to the XSLT plugin? Currently, the XSLT plugin cannot support XSLT 2.0 b/c it is not using a 2.0 transform engine.

Anyone else out there itching to get XSLT 2.0 working via JEdit?

Thanks,

Eric Everman

(Note - I posted this to some other forum/mailing list, but I've lost track of my earlier post...)

It'd be really nice if a future version of jedit incorporated the 'auto-reload' feature found in e.g. textpad. I've found this really useful as a poor man's tail -f substitute.

Hi,

I recently discovered jEdit as a great Editor for LaTEX.
Now I have a few suggestions/questions:

1. It would be great if something like preview-latex ( http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net ) could be integrated. It allows something like a real-time preview of images, captions, etc...

2. For Emacs there's a mode called unclutter.el ( http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~ums/#Emacs ), with which you can show/hide all LaTEX-specific tags (like {footnote}, {section}, etc.) with one key to see plain text. If you hover the mouse over it, you see the code in full. This would be such a great feature....

3. Is there a tutorial how to customize the latex.xml concerning syntax-highlighting?

Thanks for your answers,

When I start working on a file, jedit creates a file called #Untitled-1# and puts it in whatever current directory I happen to be in. This sometimes causes me to have these little files scattered about on the myriad of different drives and file shares I work on. The auto save feature lets you set a 'backup' directory, and it would be great if I could also configure a 'scratch file' directory.

Hi.

I'm not sure if this is new or not, but how about XML folding... If it can be done already (and I've searched), please let me know how...

It would be really decent to be able to fold the tags. I'm convincing the people at work to start using jEdit, and this feature will really start the ball rolling.

Thanks.

I use the console plugin a lot for Ant and (on windows machines at work) for the System shell.

Sadly, it seems there's no way to move the shell selection widget and edit box (for typing commands) to the bottom of the window where it belongs IMO. This means your eyes are constantly hopping from the top of the screen to see what you're typing, to the bottom to see the output and it's quite uncomfortable. With the toolbar at the bottom, it would also be more in line with true console / terminal input and the style of most IRC / chat clients.

Any chance of moving it by default, or being given the option of where to place it?

All the best!

I use jEdit primarily for C++/C# development. I'd like to see CodeAid work for C++ and
C# rather than just Java. C++ would need at least a basic understanding of
templates (which is soon to be true for Java/C# too).

As an incentive/motivation, I'll give US$50 to anyone who implements one
or the other (or both!), either in CodeAid or some other
plugin, via PayPal (or I'll donate to jEdit.org if prefered).

-David.

PS: If this gets implemented anyway, I'll donate $50 to jEdit.org

I need a feature.
It is better that i can select option of page-up and page-down for a page or a half page.

If i want to scan through the file and find something by eyes, it is very easy to miss something on the top and the bottom of the pages, so if i can page-down a half, the bottom become the center ........i think it is better!

Hi!

Are there any plans, interest in, or plugins underway already, to provide support for Subversion version control (http://subversion.tigris.org).

I'm about to have a toy around with making an interface using the existing SourceControl plugin (yet to see if this will be feasible). But since I'm going to need to relearn java (then the relevant jedit plugin api's), I thought I'd ask first.

JEdit is wonderful. I remember people making jokes about emacs users never leaving their editors, and now I'm becoming the butt of the same ones because of jedit. Thanks for the efforts so far.

Would it be difficult to organize the Plugins menu by categories, using same categories we find in the plugin manager 'update' and 'install' screens? Or at least have the possibility (some global option) to have the full plugin names in this menu.. I'm sure many of us have had to re-read all the plugin names to find the one we're looking for.

Also, would it be hard to popup a plugin's submenu (as seen in the Plugins menu) when right-clicking over the docked plugins (thus adding the menu rubrics to the usual 'float', 'dock', etc. rubrics)? That would be grrrreat!

Hi,

One thing I miss from other editors is the ability to map
functions to PC numeric keypad keys. In those editors the
keypad "enter" key is different from the main "enter" key
and likewise for "/", "*", "+", "-" keys etc.

In jEdit 4.2pre9 most of the keypad keys can't be
distinguished from their main keypad counterparts.

Maybe this is a PC/JDK issue?

I think it's useful if you can open the history in a HistoryTextField with
a shortcut. Here my Code suggestion:

HistoryTextField.java:
protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent evt) {
if(evt.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
if(evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
else if(evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN && evt.isAltDown()) { // Added Line
showPopupMenu("",0,getHeight()); // Added Line
evt.consume(); // Added Line
} // Added Line

In most interactive spellcheckers, when the spell checking dialog indicates a word is supposedly misspelled and prompts to ignore it, replace it, etc., the word in question is highlighted in the text buffer being spellchecked, so that one can see the context of the word. However, with the SpellCheck plugin, *all* the text in the buffer is highlighted as part of a selection, and there seems to be no way to see the context of the word. Because of this, a Console window with Aspell or Ispell would arguably be more useful than the SpellCheck plugin as it stands.

(BTW, don't suggest that I use Jazzy. It highlights supposedly mispelled words like it should, but the only way I can get it to handle capitalized words correctly is to add them to Jazzy's dictionary, and that makes Jazzy either hog memory or choke with an OutOfMemory error. But that's another story.)

Hi. I'm used working on web projects where the working sources are on local drive and I make tests sending the pages via FTP on remote production server. Is there a way to make the job this way?
Thanks in advance
