I'm using JEdit in Windows XP and currently use it primarily for Python and some propriatary language work. What I'd like to be able to do is associate JEdit with certain file types so that they can be double-clicked to open into JEdit. I know I used to be able to do this in an older version of JEdit (4.1 I think) but can't seem to get it to work with 4.2 or 4.3. I also need to be able to set the association app with a custom memory heap as I often have to open very large files and keep my heap set for 1Gb. Any assistance on this is very appreciated.

After importing files into a project, there is not an obvious way to "save" the project - save appears to save any open files only. When I close and re-open jEdit, the imported files do not appear, and have to be re-imported each time. What am I missing?

I cant delete text or code in jedit with delete or key above enter on keyboard and also cant do new line with enter and so on.. The only way to change text or code is: mark it first and then rewrite it with new text / code.

I have bee using jedit for a long time, but I did reinstall of my system few days ago and now is not evething ok..

Thanks for any suggestions,

Best regards,

I would like to color html attribute keys a different color than the tag names themselves. I'm actually going to be hoping this comes across to my coldfusion coloring, and I think the right way to do that is change the html.xml and then delegate it into the coldfusion.xml.

I"ve been using jEdit for about a year, and have done small mods to the edit modes. I've also read through all the edit mode documentation in the help.

Which command will help me color the attribs differently?

For instance:

[form name="XYZform" action="index.cfm"]

(using brackets instead of gt and lt so I won't get weird display.

Right now, "form", "name", and "action" are the same color. I want "form" to remain as it is, and "name" and "action" to be caught by a rule in the colorer.

None of the current methods of matching look like they would work. Though I'm sure something will, I'm just not used to the way the edit modes think.

Can somone help point me in the right direction?

Can I embed a PAGE BREAK in a text file for jEdit?

I am trying to use jEdit to maintain a large file to be printed on 4x6 index cards. I need to be able to mark the start or end of the next page for printing.

I installed the 'outline' plugin to quickly browse text outlines.
(jEdit 4.3pre5, sidekick 0.6.4, outline 1.2)
For most text outline shows nothing at all, just 'Not Parsed'. This is even though the folding indicators in the main text are working just fine. For the one case where I can get it to show a tree, it messes up the folding levels. For every change in the tabbing it always makes a sub-level, ie: a new level further indented to the right no matter what is actually in the text. For example:

• Mainheadline
• indent1
• indent2
• indent2.1
• indent3
• indent4

is shown in the outline sidekick as:

• Mainheadline
• +--indent1
• +--indent2
• +--indent2.1
• +--indent3
• +--indent4

I can use the folding commands in the main text (ie: control-e c and control-e x) and they properly show the indenting.

Does 'outline' not do what I think it does?

Is there any way to select which columns are shown in the File System Browser? I'm open to installing a plug-in, editing a configuration file, whatever, to add this functionality.

I thought this existed in a previous version of jEdit. Or am I wrong?

Thanks,
Matthew

Does anyone know if there is a setting I can map a hotkey to for "Reload Directory"? I've tried looking through the configuration screen and I can't find one.

Hello,

I use JEdit 4.2final with java.version=1.5.0_06 on Ubuntu Dapper ;
When I try to drag'n'drop a file, it doesn't work, and I see this in the activity log :
[debug] Java14$TextAreaTransferHandler: canImport() returning false
[debug] Java14$DropHandler: Drag enter
[debug] Java14$DropHandler: Drag exit

Anyone has an idea to fix that ?

Hey, Im new to jEdit and have a really elementary question. Ive read the documentation, but I am still a little confused about the plugin. I wrote my source code in jEdit and saved it as a .java file. jEdit then colour formatted the text appropriately even though I never installed any java plugins. Is that what its supposed to do? I thought i needed to install a plugin for jEdit to recognize my source code as java.

Thanks,

Shaun

If so, how to achieve that? Thanks

Just like EditPlus or UltraEdit, when right-click some file, I can choose sort of 'open with jEdit' menu item to open the file.

who idiot deleted my post about editor with, full unicode support and detection, realtime as-you-type autocorrect using regex, realtime as-you-type autocomplete using T9, spell check with custom dictionary

Is exist gdb plugin for JEdit 4.2 ?
If exist gdb plugin where are you download ?

Thank you !

Hi,

I program a lot in pascal, and my pascal files have .p and .ph extensions, i added these two extensions in Global Options/Editing/pascal/file name glob, so i have *.{p,ph,pas,dpr,dpk}. My probleme is when i open a .p file it says it's a progress file, so i went to see the extensions of progress and it was *.[piw] i change it to *.{i,w} to avoid confusion, but jEdit still consider my .p files to progress, i found that pop11 had *.{p,p11,pop11} so i removed the p extension and it's *.{p11,pop11}, so anyone have any idea why jEdit still considerint .p files as progress.....

Thx for the help

I want to install dotcomplete on jedit 4.3pre. This depends on anthelper which in turn depends on version 1.4>> of jbrowse.

No worries ... I installed all these plugins and jedit comes back with error saying "anthelper needs 1.4>> version of jbrowse - but it is not installed!!

Hmm - jbrowse 1.5 (which a normal person would believe is greater than version 1.4) is installed in the jars folder and is visible in plugin manager (which again a normal person would suggest it physically exists)- so what the hell is jedit doing??

an example of 9 years project maturity??? ... I dont think so!!

Hi,

I use jEdit 4.2 Final and I have abbreviations set-up to auto expand when I press spacebar, but using this setting an abbreviation is expanded in a comment too, is it possible to not autoexpand an abbrev in a comment?

Thanks,

I record a marcro and it works OK in the macro drop down menu. I then go to global options, toolbar were I can make a button for the marco - exactly what I need - therefore any action I need can be a toogle button. I usually find a gif I convert to a png button graphic and I have a dsitinct button.

BUT, when I close jedit and reopen it the new buttons are gone. Please help.

Thanks

Hi, I have tried to find these answers in the docs w/no luck - if you tell me specifically were an answer is in the docs that would be great or just tell me quickly here how. Thanks. Again thank you - I am trying to config JEdit - I want this as my "goto" editor.

1. How do I toogle the wrap guide on/off? Specifically how - there should be a way. Is the action bar the only way? Please cite how - just this one time for me w/the action bar - another way w/out going into the global config?

2.Right now I use-control the added plugins functionalies from a plugin drop down menu were i have to drill down deep w/the mouse. It's very unwieldy - I want either toggle buttons and/or to add key combo or sometrhing so I could record the actions - I guess I could add it to a marcro and then have a toogle button. How? The drop down menu is "killing" me.

3. The plugin settings are *not* saved when I shut down Jedit - eg. I check that i want buffer tabs (the buffer tab plugin). But when I restartup the changes are not saved - I have to go in to this drop down and reconfig everything - I need a way to save and easily toogle (as I cite above) plugin options and any other changes I make. Same thing - I make want the show whitesapce set my way every time I start - but my previous settings are never saved.

Thank You again,
Lee
