Hello,

Just installed the last version of jEdit (5.0pre1) and everything is in French, probably because my professional computer is under a French version of Windows. I can see that it can be seen as a good idea, but it is not.

I won't be a problem if I find a way to disable it forever, but I couldn't find anything on the subject in help.
How can I go back to the real jEdit? Please.

In my humble opinion, translating a developer tool doesn't make any sense.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to assign new filename extensions to extensions already supported. Is there a way to do this?
Specifically, I am editing Objective C files with .mm extensions which does not seem to be supported. I would like to assign this extension to .m which is supported.
Another use I find handy is to name files with a .cx extension and alias that extension to .c. This allows me to view highlighted files I do not want searched.

Hi,

i'd like to use jDiff@jEdit as a external Diff tool for my GIT client app.. the question i have:
Can i invoke/start jEdit by passing the two filepathes and some arg that makes jedit diff those right away?
Something along the line:

$ /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit -diff "$1" "$2"

thx,
Jan

Greetings,

I recently updated jEdit to version 5pre1. It looks like a nice upgrade. Kudos.

Unfortunately CtagsInterface is throwing any error telling me that it is unable to load the LucenePlugin...well maybe because I didn't have it. So I went to download it along with the Markers plugin that it uses, but neither of those two plugin will open. I'm on Windows 7 btw. Anyway. I downloaded bot the zip and the tgz archive of each hoping for a solution but I am unable to extract either one. I use 7-zip which has been very dependable in every regard until now... so; anybody have some useful advice?

Thanks,
Mark

I can already select content in a web browser, copy it to the clipboard, and then, in jEdit, select "Edit > More Clipboard > Paste Special > html" to paste the HTML source of the content into jEdit. I realize that I could also use various other methods to do this (such as viewing the HTML source in the web browser, and then copying that HTML source view into the clipboard, and then pasting into jEdit without "Paste Special"), but, in many cases, I like selecting the rendered objects in the web browser (although, admittedly, selecting in the HTML source view can offer greater accuracy in terms of exactly how much you are selecting).

Okay: copying (X)HTML source into jEdit is covered.

Suppose that I edit the HTML source, and now want to copy that edited content back into the browser?

I should clarify my use case: I'm copying content from a browser-based rich text editor (specifically, the Atlassian Confluence 4 rich text editor, which is based on TinyMCE), pasting it into jEdit as HTML source, editing the HTML, and then copying'n'pasting that edited content back into the rich text editor.

Currently, copying the edited content back into the browser is a multi-step procedure, to ensure that the HTML is in the appropriate internal clipboard format (in Windows, I think this means CF_HTML), so that the content is rendered appropriately by the rich text editor, rather than appearing as text (the HTML source code):

1. In jEdit, I save the edited HTML to a file (with a file extension such as .htm or .html)
2. I open the file in a web browser (say, Firefox)
3. I select the content, and copy it to the clipboard
4. I paste the content into the Confluence rich text editor

I would rather have a "Copy Special > html" option in jEdit, hence this forum topic.

Does jEdit, or one of its plugins, already have such a feature?

If not (in which case, I guess I'll add a feature request), can anyone suggest a quicker existing non-jEdit method than the "save to .htm, select and copy" method I'm currently using? (I'm using Windows 7. I have no jEdit plugin development experience, but I have some scripting experience, and it's occurred to me to write some script "glue" to copy into CF_HTML format.)

Hi. Is there a way to have multiple files open in the same window with tabs? The way it is now you have to click the bar at the top that has the name of the current file and you see a drop down list of the other files. I would like them displayed in tabs instead. Thanks in advance.

I want to select a line of text and convert all of it to lower case except for the first letter, which I want to be converted to upper case, if it isn't already. Is there a macro to do this? All I've been able to find is the macro that capitalizes the first letter of every word, which is no good for my needs. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm using textArea of jEdit in my application but I'm only interested in using assembly and c language. I've seen there are several types of assembly language. I'm interested in assembly language for ARM7TDMI. Which one of these languages would be the correct or the best to this kind of ARM? Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

I am brand new to jEdit, and I am using it to write code in java. I thought it auto-indented when typing, so that code blocks would be correctly indented. I cannot get it set up properly to do this.

How is this accomplished?

Thanks,

Using jEdit causes my GPU to leave its idle state. This eventually causes it to heat up, which causes the fan to increase in speed. Really not something that's necessary when doing editing. I saw a way to disable 2d acceleration, which in the past has cured this. However, I notice this version of jEdit no longer launches from the .bat file, but has a "jEdit.exe." How do I pass -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true when jEdit starts?

Hi,
I used to have and use quite and old release of JEdit (4.2.0)
I am trying now latest 4.5.3.
I am not satisfied with the font size of tags plugin dialog - it is to much large
in my feeling. In the previous JEdit I used (4.2) It was ok.
Is there a way to make this font smaller ?
rgs,
Kevin

I want to take a text file which is a program source, and insert a print statement after each line, for example if line 1 is:

x=5

then insert
print "line 1: x=5"

so that when a program crashes hard (as in, the system reboots before I can see what happened) at least I can see the last line that executed.

Is there some kind of macro or plugin that I can use to do things like that?

Thanks.

I try to use jedit to make recursive text search in all files in a directory.

When I perform a search, jedit complains about cp1252 encoding not applicable on pdf files. Yes, I'm on windows xp...

The file could not be loaded correctly (some data might be lost) with
the encoding "Cp1252".
(java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacterException: Input length = 1)
Try selecting a different encoding.
It can be selected with the menu File->Reload with Encoding.
If you want it to be done automatically, add the candidates into
"List of fallback encodings" in Encodings pane of Global Options.


I don't understand why jedit tries to search in pdf files as pdf files are binary files. Does it try to extract text from pdf files and then apply an encoding to find text?

It seems that jedit can skip binary files, it seems to be an interesting feature, but I don't know how jedit considers files as binary. If I uncheck "skip binary files", the same exception pops out but for bin files, obj files, etc. I've been looking at the documentation, but cannot find anything about binary files association. I think this behavior is expected, but not very user friendly.

Is it possible to use jedit to search in all binary files as well?

Does it just try to decode the file using its default encoding (cp1252, I'm on windows xp) and considers the file as binary if it fails? (I guess it's not that simple)


thanks,

Is there a way to disable the FTP/SFTP welcome message dialog that pops out when connecting to a VFS using the FTP plugin? The problem is that every time a remote buffer is saved (Ctrl+S), the same nagging welcome message from the server appears.

Sorry, this feels like a stupid question, but can't find an obvious answer anywhere.

I've recently moved from Windows to Mac and brought jEdit with me, and been confused about why the 'go to recent buffer' key wasn't working (command-`). Eventually discovered it was because OS X already uses that binding for 'show-next-application-window'.

Is there any standard set of OS X keybindings for jEdit that avoid these kinds of conflicts, or do I need to roll my own? Seems like something lots of OS X users would run into?

Thanks.

How do you activate the thin column that is on the right of the editing space, next to the scroll bar, that will indicate all other occurrences of the selected word? I find that invaluable.

I stumbled upon it by accident before, but my settings folder got erased and I have to start over. I don't know what it's called, or if it is a plug-in or what.

Hello, I am new in using Jedit, and for some reason my Jedit doesn't like any foreign fonts-more specifically french accents, and greek. They are not displayed as they should be. Can anyone guide me on how to fix this? thanks!

Hey all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, so I will open up a discussion here to point it out.

It seems that if you change the buffer option, specifically, syntax highlighting and then an external program (like say svn or git) changes the physical file on the file system, jedit will ask you if you want to reload the file. When you do, the highlighting reverts back to whatever the global settings are. Shouldn't it preserve what the buffer settings are if they are meant to override the global?

To reproduce this.

1) open a file type that uses a specific syntax highlighting (like C++ or PHP)
2) change the buffer options to use a different highlighting (Java or Perl)
3) change the file outside of Jedit
4) Bring Jedit back into focus and either agree to have it reload the file (I have it set to prompt) or watch it reload (if you set it up to do so automatically [haven't tried this]) and you should see the highlighting revert back to the global options.


Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an edit mode to do syntax highlighting and auto indenting for an obscure language, but I'm having trouble defining the correct XML to achieve what I want.
I would like all lines following the word Begin to be indented until the next occurrence of the word Begin. Each word Begin should be at the same indent level.

i.e.
Begin
Indent this line
Indent this line
Begin
Indent this line
Indent this line

Hi! Is there Beauty Plugin manual? I can't configure it to work properly.
