Printing PAGE BREAKs
Submitted by turtlecove on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 00:33
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.
Outline sidekick plugin
Submitted by turtlecove on Thursday, 3 August, 2006 - 00:23
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?
Show/Hide Columns in the File System Browser
Submitted by mkuehn on Wednesday, 2 August, 2006 - 15:33
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
reload directory hotkey
Submitted by metric152 on Tuesday, 1 August, 2006 - 22:17
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.

Developing Java
Submitted by shaun510 on Sunday, 30 July, 2006 - 19:13
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

How can I add jEdit to my windows popup right-click menu?
Submitted by sy8111 on Wednesday, 26 July, 2006 - 13:38
Just like EditPlus or UltraEdit, when right-click some file, I can choose sort of 'open with jEdit' menu item to open the file.

Want to set a file extention to a type
Submitted by Manil on Wednesday, 19 July, 2006 - 22:52
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

Jedit4.3 plugin farce!!
Submitted by rowck001 on Tuesday, 18 July, 2006 - 09:23
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!!

Buttons made from macro are not saved after closing jedit
Submitted by frisky on Sunday, 16 July, 2006 - 08:35
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
More config questions - thanks!
Submitted by frisky on Friday, 14 July, 2006 - 23:59
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

plugin does not seem to work & other questions
Submitted by frisky on Monday, 10 July, 2006 - 15:49
jEdit 4.3pre5
win2k
java 1.5


I'm looking for a way to see spaces, tabs, end of lines.

Most editors have a toggle toolbar button or key sequence that will show spaces as dots for example. Very handy to format and line things up on a page.

I don't see the command for this in Jedit.

Note I tried the plugin "Whitespace" but it must be broken - cause it seems to do nothing(?) Show spaces has no effect.

Also I set the the faint blue wrap guide line to not show in the global options - but when I restart jedit the change is not saved and it shows up again. Also is there a way to toogle this line on/off from the toolbar?

Thanks
Couple newbie setup questions
Submitted by frisky on Monday, 10 July, 2006 - 15:18
1. What plugin should I install for HTML tag paring - I heard it's possible in Jedit. eg, finding open and closing html tags in a 1000's of lines of spaghetti code.

2. Looking a way to toogle line wrapping on/off? Most editors have something in the toolbar that will do this.

3. Is there a way to make .php use arial font and .html files to use new courier font? ie. Customize via file extension?

4. Sorry, I don't see a spell checker. Is there one for english?

5. I don't see old fashion fonts like courier - is this available?

Thank you!
Memory consumption growing even when idle?
Submitted by sethrasmussen on Monday, 10 July, 2006 - 14:41
Hi all,

I've been using jEdit as my primary editor for several months now, and generally am very happy with it. One thing I've noticed is that jEdit seems to consume more and more memory over time, even when the app sits idle for extended periods. I know you can quickly release memory by double-clicking the usage report in the status bar, but is there something I can do to avoid some of that? Or are there debugging techniques that I could use to determine if it is from certain plugins, for instance?

Thanks for any advice!
