I use jEdit in Windows XP & just found two screenshots in the ScreenShots section.
Can anyone answer me the following questions?

What is the font used in the following screenshot? Is it antialiasing? How to make it antialiasing?

And where to download the following screenshot's LookandFeel? Or what is the name of the LookAndFeel?

Sorry to bother, I have searched the JEdit help and the forum but haven't find any answer to the following issue:

When the wrap option is set, a long line is wrapped as expected if and only if it contains spaces.
If the typed line does not contain space characters (i.e. the line is a single and very long token) then it is not wrapped (i.e. it is necessary to use the horizontal scroller to see the tail of the line). Cheching and editing such a line without visual wrapping is awkward when the line is very long, e.g. the value of a PATH variable in a .chsrc file.

Is there any way to wrap the lines even if they don't contain spaces?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Is there a way to set the foreground or font color for both multiple and single selection?

What I'd like to do is make the background color dark blue, and the font color white.

Thanks,

I'm trying to add special coloring for #ifdef (etc.) in Python files. These constructions are not a part of standard Python, hence not included in the standard jEdit Python mode. That is, my intention is to use the built-in Python coloring for all the normal Python keywords etc., and to extend this by adding a different coloring for #ifdef etc.

I did the following: to my user's 'catalog' file (i.e. the one in c:\documents and settings\<username>\.jedit\modes) I added the following line:

<MODE NAME="python2" FILE="python.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.py" />

Then I created in that same directory a file python.xml, which leaving out the usual stuff has the following:

<RULES>
<IMPORT DELEGATE="python::MAIN"/>
<KEYWORDS>
<KEYWORD4>#ifdef</KEYWORD4>
</KEYWORDS>
</RULES>

(I tried to indent the above, but I'm not sure how to do that in this forum...) And of course I set a special color for KEYWORD4 in jEdit's Utilities | Global Options: Syntax Highlighting.

If I'm understanding the documentation in the jEdit Help, this is the recommended way to extend a built-in coloring.

But it doesn't work. That is, I don't get any special coloring for #ifdef, only the normal Python coloring.

I have ruled out a number of things that I could be doing wrong. Specifically, I get #ifdef colored appropriately (as KEYWORD4) if I leave out the <IMPORT DELEGATE> line--but then I of course don't get any of the normal Python coloring. I have also verified that there are no KEYWORD4 tags in the original (as-shipped) python.xml file.

So what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,

I am trying to find a plugin/macro to show (in the status bar) how many lines/characters are currently selected. I'm sure someplace I saw a plugin for that but now I cannot find it. Any ideas?

Also, I'd like an option to trim spaces (on save would be great), is that an option or plugin someplace?

Thanks,

I'd like the header of my printouts to include the entire path to the file, rather than just the filename. (I work on projects where many files have the same name.)

Is this possible with stock jEdit, or will I need to write a plugin to do this?

Feel free to move this to the Feature Requests forum if it fits better there...

It seems that when I make a new project or 're-import' the current project empty dirs are not included. I have not found an option for changing this behavior. Is this something that is wrong with my setup or am I just not finding the option I need to change. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Can I adjust line spacing?

Hi,

Is there a way to stop jEdit Server running at startup on Windows?

I can do a Search and Replace on all my Java source by using "*.java" in the filter field.
I can also search all my XML files by using "*.xml" in the filter field.

How do I serch both Java source and XML files in the same search? I've tried space, comma, semi-colon as delimiter and those don't work. I've searched the documentation and nothing is mentioned. Any ideas?

Hey,

I am working with some database file, just somthing over 10meg but I get the java heap memory exceeded. Jedit point me to the manual but I couldn't find where to change my java heap memory whatever it is. Where can I change that ?

Hello,

I'm trying to use jEdit to edit XML files. These files include french and english text, so there are accented characters. When I open the file in Notepad or Notepad++, the accented characters show up properly, and the file is noted as being encoded in "ASNI Encoded". In jEdit, the characters show up as boxes.

I prefer jEdit for the XML and Freemarker support.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I am having difficulties getting jedit to properly indent by .rhtml files. The colorification takes place right, but somehow the various tags don't seem to indent at all. They all start from column 0. Is there any setting I need to take care of?

All ruby programs wrap and indent properly.

thanks

I'm creating a Specman syntax highlighting mode and I'm trying to make all the text from the start of the buffer to "<'" be highlighted. Some sort of regex like: {BEGINNING_OF_FILE} ^<' Does anyone know how to do that?

Hi,

It should be easy to associate text files w/jedit but I can not find jedit.exe anywhere on my windows2000, but jedit works OK.

The FAQ say something about a jedit launcher....

I'm looking for simple cookbook step by step instructions on how to get files associated w/jedit...please link me

thanks

Hi is it possible with some plugin or from jEdit itself to limit the search in subdirectories to NOT search in a particular directory and it's subdirectories.
Here is my situation:
I have a mirror of a working site and in it there is a folder where users upload photos and videos. This folder has more than 50000 subfolders and much more files in them. The code for the site is above that big folder, and there are some other subfolders with javascript, css, etc. When i want to search something in my code(all the code javascript,css...) i have to do it folder by folder - i can't use the option "Search in subdirectories" because it will start searching in that big folder too. Normally i would remember to turn that option off, but sometimes i forget and the search starts in the big folder too and the only way to stop it is to kill the java process(which sometimes leads to resetting most of my settings in jEdit to the default ones).
So is there any way to tell jEdit to search in subfolders but not in that particular one and others like it?
Thanks

Hi,
A first post. I've just started with jEdit 1.5.0_06 and am very happy with it, but (always a but) I do have one problem. I can't get SuperAbbrevs to work. I've looked at one tut here

http://ifakedit.com/log/2006/02/19/jedit-tutorial-a-how-to-on-abbreviations-superabbrevs-in-html-ruby-on-rails-and-more/

I can't see where to put the key combo to expand the abbreviations shown in the Plugins > Plugin Options > SuperAbbrevs>Abbreviations dialog. I think I'm missing something rather obvious so any help would be very welcome

I'm using jEdit 4.3pre9 on Windows XP.
By the way, ftp plugin is very very slow.
I can't seem to edit remote file.
I want help for this problem.
