Context Help plugin in OSX
Submitted by Jeff Day on Friday, 12 January, 2007 - 02:50
I was trying to get the Context Help plugin to work in my OSX copy of JEdit, and to be honest, the documentation just went entirely over my head. I found this link about a JEdit PHP function look up macro which seemed like it would do just as well, but it seems to be written for Windows machines. Have any OSXers gotten this puppy up and going, and is there an M that I can FR or can you help me through it?
File Browser in 4.3pre8
Submitted by jhaefner on Wednesday, 10 January, 2007 - 01:58
I'm using 4.3pre8 with Java 1.5.0_10 and Ubuntu 6.10 and have noticed the following behavior:
(1) when I open the file browser by, for example, doing
file->open; I get an error message on the terminal:
[error] DefaultInputHandler: Invalid key stroke:

(2) When I use the File browser filter with for example,
*.c
I get the correct filtered list, but if I use
FU*
I get no files showing, even when there are files that begin with FU...

Anyone else see this behavior?

Trying to setup jEdit to enable me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have them compiled with mzscheme.
Submitted by airfoil on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 21:11
My Goal: To be able to run the PLT mzscheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the contents of the current buffer.
Problem: Can't get my commando file to show up in list of available commandos
Reference:
jEdit Help: Chapter 5. Commando
User-specific commando files are loaded from the console/commando subdirectory of the jEdit settings directory.
Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory should be called after files are added or removed in the user-specific commando directory.
Plugins>Console>Browse Commando Directory opens the user-specific commando directory in jEdit's file system browser.
You can find out the location of the settings directory by entering the following command in the system shell of the console
window:
%echo ${JEDIT_SETTINGS}

What I did:
1) Placed a minimal commando file named mzscheme-commando.xml in C:\Documents and Settings\kyle\.jedit\console\commando
2) Tried to find Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory, but was unable to locate in jEdit GUI.
3) Searched vigorously through jEdit Help for any relevant information regarding rescanning Commando Directory, and why I wouldn't have that menu option available.
4) Finally decided to ask user group to see if anyone with more experience could help me achieve my goal of running the PLT MzScheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the current buffer, whether it be through custom commando files or by other means.

Question:
Where is the Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory option? I can't find it.
Is a custom commando file the way to go in order to setup jEdit to allow me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have that buffer compiled/interpreted by my mzscheme processor?

Any help would be appreciated.

superAbbrevs: How to break out of a macro?
Submitted by malibu on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 17:30
Hi there.. I understand that superAbbrevs doesn't support nested macros. However, I was wondering if people could tell me what they are doing in the following situation:

If we have a macro like the following (Perl):

foreach $1 ($2) {
$3
}$end

Given that there is no nesting, how do I break out of the macro when my cursor is at $3 so that I can add another one? The only way I've found is to go to $end, type a space, and then arrow back inside the brackets. If I could just press 'ESC' to get out of the macro with the cursor at that point, it would be awesome. I'm not sure if I would even need nesting at that point. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Where is XMLIndent?
Submitted by memoimyself on Friday, 5 January, 2007 - 12:28
For years I used the XMLIndent jEdit plugin, but recently decided to try 4.3pre8 and XMLIndent was lost in the upgrade process. I switched back to 4.2, but cannot find the XMLIndent plugin anywhere -- not via the plugin manager, or searching on Google, or anywhere else.

The XMLIndent plugin was one of the best and most useful jEdit plugins for my purposes, and I'm just disconsolate that it's gone. The Beauty plugin doesn't come even close. Stupid me, should have backed up my plugins...

Anyway, does anyone have the XMLIndent plugin who could share it with me? (Am I going crazy and did this plugin actually have a different name? I've searched everywhere, though.)
Does JEdit have Dreamweaver style templates
Submitted by Peter Mount on Monday, 1 January, 2007 - 02:20
Hello

Does JEdit have anything like the templates in Dreamweaver where you only need to change the markup in one file to change the markup in all the files on a web site?

Thanks
Is there a Perl folding plugin?
Submitted by malibu on Saturday, 30 December, 2006 - 17:20
I have the CodeBrowser and the PerlSidekick plugins installed, but they don't seem to detect subroutines in Perl. All I can get are the script names in each view. I don't have any code folding except it does seem to match brackets. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? I'm using the newest version of jEdit and I haven't messed with the perl.xml modes file at all.
MySQL tree view plugin
Submitted by malibu on Friday, 29 December, 2006 - 23:14
I'm looking for a basic plugin that will show my DB/tables/fields in a tree view, for reference while I am developing. Is there such a thing? I installed the SQL plugin but it doesn't seem to do what I need. I love jEdit so far and I hate Dreamweaver, but it is the one thing that DW has that I miss. Thanks!

Disabling Changed File Check on Alt-Tab/Change of Program focus
Submitted by Aristoi on Tuesday, 19 December, 2006 - 21:30
I am using jEdit 4.3pre3 on Windows XP.

When I switch to another application, and back to jEdit, there is a significant lag while the Samba share refreshes. I assume that jEdit is checking to be sure the file contents have not changed. I have set the global option "If files are changed on disk" to "do nothing" but it still seems to be checking. The 5 second lag is rather maddening, and I would like to know if there is any way to disable this file check entirely.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has any kind of solution!

Edit Modes: Brackets in Literals
Submitted by jaaa on Wednesday, 13 December, 2006 - 09:13
Hi, I have a problem with edit modes and string literals with brackets in jEdit. I'm working on a little custom query language at the moment. jEdit would be an ideal editor for it if I just could get the edit mode working. The problem is that I have literals that contain brackets and that seems to break the "Complete Word" feature as well as the syntax highlighting. Here's an example of the mode: " " = AND OR Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3 NULL Value1 Here's an example of a simple query: (Attribute1 AND Attribute2) OR (Attribute1 AND Attribute3="Value2 (detail)") Uncommenting the literal with the brackets breaks the edit mode as already mentioned. Is there a way to get aroung this? Am I missing something? I tested with both 4.3pre and 4.2 on WinXP/jdk1.5.0_09. Thanks, Jussi
Jedit forget (some) settings
Submitted by matthewyoung on Sunday, 10 December, 2006 - 22:56
I am using 4.2final under Ubuntu 6.10.

I set "View->line number" checked, "Plugins->Buffer tab" checked. On restart, these settings are not restored. But tab width setting is. What's going on?
Compiling/Running from within jEdit?
Submitted by vapourmle on Sunday, 10 December, 2006 - 14:47
HI there, I'm new, I have been trying jEdit, I quite like it but I have been alt+TABing between it and a console window which I do my compiling in. this is a bit awkward as I'd like to compile from within the editor, but I can't find any documentation that tells me how to do it? Are there compile/run buttons in jEdit, if so, what are they?

Also, I have never really grown to love its colourless icon scheme, are they ways of changing this, for example skins?
Timed out installing plugin under Ubuntu
Submitted by matthewyoung on Friday, 8 December, 2006 - 22:19
In Ubuntu 6.10, I tried to install the RubyPlugin get Connection timed out exception. At the same time, I try to install plugin in Windows XP and it's fine so the mirror site is not the problem, right?

I am using Sun java version "1.5.0_08" in Ubuntu.

If automatic plugin install does not work, can I manually download and install plugin?
SQL Plugin - Connect to MS SQL Server from Linux?
Submitted by erezbibi on Wednesday, 6 December, 2006 - 16:38
I can connect to MS SQL Server with the SQL plugin from WinXP, I just create a User DSN in the ODBC manager of Windows, and insert the DSN name in Project->Properties->SQL...->DSN.

Has any one managed to connect to MS SQL Server from Linux? What should I write in the DSN text box?

Thanks

XQuery plugin trouble
Submitted by clif2 on Tuesday, 5 December, 2006 - 20:45
I can't get the XQuery plugin to recognise the base URL. The path supplied by the file browsers is delimited by \ and therefore invalid. I substituted / . The path was accepted, but the adapter produced no output. I modified my query so that it didn't depend on the base URL and it worked. So the problem would seem to be with the URL. I also tried prefixing file:/// but that was reported as not pointing to any directory.

Has anyone managed to get the base URL working and pointing to the local file system?

Any suggestions?
HAML language mode
Submitted by wolfmanjm on Saturday, 2 December, 2006 - 02:15
Here is a first attempt to implement a HAML language mode for the Ruby on Rails HAML plugin.

It is documented here: http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2006/12/01/a-haml-edit-mode-for-jedit

You can download it from here: http://blog.wolfman.com/files/haml.xml
Hypersearch results - link to editor
Submitted by shlomy on Tuesday, 28 November, 2006 - 07:01
This is just a curiosity question: I noticed that that clicking items in the hypersearch results brings me to the correct place in the file even after adding/removing lines in various places in the file and modifying the line to which the result was linked. This makes me think that each hypersearch result stores the line number in which it originated, and then jEdit either updates these line numbers when the file is modified or uses the undo buffer to find the up-to-date line number of the search result when it is clicked. Am I correct?

I am asking this because a similar problem exists with the ctags outlines - CtagsSideKick, CodeBrowser - neither of them works well in tracking the correct location in the code after it is modified (unless 'parse on keystroke' is used).
