Heyy..
I'm sure that ExtJS support would be great plugin...
I'll wait for the response

Hallo!
I am not a programmer but a writer, who writes in English and translates into German.
I am preparing a piece of documentation describing the use of jEdit as a carrier for a translation tool.
Initially it will be from an English source into German as a single target.
French, Italian and Spanish should be added as future target languages.
The jEdit editor has, I feel certainly the functionality, with its set of plugins to make a very useful translation base.
To whom can I address this request and introduce the dialog?
To whom can I send the document when it is ready?
An inital version, as a simple text document, will be ready by mid next week.
A version, as a HTML document, will be ready at worst two weeks later.
I could provide the necessary user and marketing documentation.
I hope that there is interest in such a project.
Regards, forkinpm.

I use JEdit to write HTML pages containing Japanese. Unicode support is fine and all, but...
If I type in MS Word or Open Office using a Font which doesn't support Japanese characters, the application chooses another font in order to show them. This is more important as it sounds, because a lot of fonts containing Japanese look good when using Japanese, but you get eye cancer when using the Latin character set, and worse, their Latin subset is not monospaced (at least I found no such font for free).
So I'd suggest that you can define a font which will substitute all character the normal font can't display.

Cheers,

Hello,

i have been using jEdit for over 8 years, mostly for developing php apps. A useful feature would be the integration of xdebug http://xdebug.org/ in jEdit. Xdebug is widely supported by other IDEs:

* Dev-PHP (IDE: Windows)
* Eclipse plugin, which has been submitted as an enhancement for the PDT (IDE).
* ActiveState's Komodo (IDE: Windows, Linux, Mac; Commercial).
* NetBeans (IDE: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.
* Notepad++ plugin (IDE: Windows).
* WaterProof's PHPEdit (IDE, from version 2.10: Windows; Commercial).
* Anchor System's Peggy (IDE: Windows, Japanese; Commercial).
* MP Software's phpDesigner (IDE: Windows, Commercial).
* Protoeditor (Editor: Linux).
* tsWebeditor (Editor: Windows).
* Xored's TrueStudio IDE (IDE; Commercial).
* VIM plugin (Tutorial) (Editor Plugin).
* jcx software's VS.Php (MS Visual Studio Plugin; Commercial).
* XDebugClient - Standalone Windows client.

Thank you guys for jEdit!

With regards

When tracing through code I find it's quite useful to highlight a variable and then execute a key stroke to find the next occurrence of it (i.e. what can set the variable) or a different key stroke to find the previous occurrence of it. It would be particularly useful if when highlighting something, jedit yanked it into an area of memory, such that if you then changed to a different buffer, you'd still be able to execute your key stroke but find the word you'd highlighted in the previous buffer.

Does anyone else think this would be useful? I can nearly achieve this using some macros but I'd like to see this feature as a standard part of jedit.

Is it possible to create a full screen functionality? I mean **real** full screen functionality (not like that Full Screen macro).
My workspace is shrinking, since I use buffer tabs and docked windows, and my notebook's screen is 14" one. So full screen functionality would be very handy for me..

Macros in MacroManager plugin should be sorted alphabetically.
Also browsing/installing by category would be useful.

Code suggestions like in other IDE.

I’d like to have a real code completion like in other IDE’s (like in Netbeans, Eclipse
or Zend Studio).
When I type "function", I’d like to see suggestion: "string function( int foo, sting bar [more…])."
Including previously entered methods, functions from included files.
That’s the only thing jEdit is missing.

Here are some screenshots:

Features needed (for XML plugin for example)
- go to next/prev tag
- go to next HTML attribute
- toggle between attributes (move caret or select next attribute value)

I think it could prove very useful to have a plugin that facilitated the configuration of (in each case) a marco to be automatically executed on (for example) the following state-transitions within a jEdit session.

Buffer focus changing, File opening, File saved, File closed (last associated buffer closing), directory in FileBrowser changing

The plugin's option panel would permit the selection of an installed macro (using a dropdown) for each event type supported.

I'm sure there are many more such events for which a macro invocation would prove useful.

Another enhancement for the plugin would be a public API which permitted other plugins to register their own events (by passing a descriptor string, and then invoking another function when the event is to be actioned).

jEdit is great, but configuration/customization takes a lot of time…

It would be great feature to Import/Export keyboard shortcut list to file.
If a macro is attached to shortcut, macro file should be also exported/imported.

How to write a macro to do that?

I have started using the GlobalPlugin to integrate jEdit with GNU Global and am very impressed with its capabilities. What I would like to see in GlobalPlugin would be integration with gtags, so that the cross-reference database could be generated and updated from jEdit, and integration with the ProjectViewer plugin so that the list of files to be cross-referenced could be obtained from the project:

• Provide a way to run gtags on the entire project from jEdit. gtags should use the GTAGSDBPATH environment variable (if set) as the location of the cross-reference files.
• Update the cross-reference database when a buffer is saved (use incremental the update feature of gtags and global).

I would like to request a feature in the ProjectViewer plugin which would allow me to specify a file containing the list of files or directories in my project (one entry per line). This would be useful in situations where a project spans many directories.

Hi!

How about making a plugin that can embed any jar-based java application inside a dockable window?
Maybe even using jdic? Or just something very basic configurable to use any application set by the user.

Isn't this something that could easily be achieved?

When i open a DB Object via SQL plugin and try to use the sidekick plugin, the plugin can't parse the object. It only parses the object when I save it with the appropriate extension. The plugin should be able to parse a text based on the edit mode, all right?

Hi All,

In Stylus Studio, there is an option "DTD to xml". I hope you all aware of that. We will generate a dummy xml using that option for the selected DTD. It will useful for us to get a visual idea, tag hierarcy, what are all the elements available in the DTD, etc.
Is there any plugin available in JEdit? or is it possible to create such a one in JEdit?

I found some suggestions about how to use groovy for jedit,But the SideKick plugin doesn't support the "groovy parser",Why not to extend the parser for groovy?
Eagerly expected!
Best Wishes!

Well? I am programming in Java and can't install anything on the computer. JEdit.jar is what I'm using right now. But a lot of plugins don't work, saying stuff like "cannnot find java.core.java" or something.

I have code that is separated across a number of different directories, but these directories are described by a ':' separated environment variable. I'd like to put that string into the directory text label and then have it search those directories.

I'm trying JEdit with WhiteSpace plugin.
In my oponion it would be nice and useful feature, if the Fold Guids' indentation was configurable .
