I have been using the FTP plugin for jEdit and lately have needed to add new servers that I connect to. It seems that the FTP plugin for jEdit does not save passwords. I am kind of tired of entering them in every time I start the program.

Is there a different add on or a setting I am missing something entirely. My machine is secure enough to store the passwords (and all my other dev tools do it anyway so I dont understand this level of security, if that is what it is...)

Any info you could provide would be appreciated,
Thanks,

In Adobe Acrobat reader, I can open 9 different files and then press alt-w and then a number to switch instantly to the numbered window. In jedit I can press alt-backtick to get the list like I can do with alt-w in Acrobat, but in jedit I then have to use the arrow keys to scroll to the desired item, or use the mouse. How do I get it to work like Acrobat, where a grand total of no more than three keystrokes (alt-backtick windownumber) will jump to a desired window?
The switchbuffer plugin doesn't appear to be what I want, because it requires too many keystrokes to switch buffers. I realize that with more than 9 windows open, I'll need more keystrokes, but I'd like to optimize for my common case of having less than 9 open.

Where's the wrap-to-window option? I don't want jedit to wrap to a specified width (e.g. 80 characters); I want it to wrap to the editing window, but Utilities/Global Options/Editing doesn't give me that option, and I don't see the option anywhere else.

How do I tell jedit to put all metadata including things like .marks files in one common directory rather than in the directories of the associated files, so that those latter directories can remain uncluttered?

ctrl-leftarrow and ctrl-rightarrow cycle through the beginning and end of each word, which takes twice as many keystrokes to cycle through words compared to the standard Windows operation (in Notepad and Wordpad, ctrl-arrow cycles only through the beginning of each word).
In other words, jedit jumps the cursor to the next whitespace->nonwhitespace or nonwhitespace->whitespace boundary, whereas standard Windows operation jumps the cursor only to the next whitespace->nonwhitespace boundary and ignores all nonwhitespace->whitespace boundaries.
How do I make jedit obey the Windows standard, so that cycling through words isn't so tedious?

I'm not sure whether to file this under using Jedit, bugs, or plugin features. Is there a way to make jEdit recognize both DTD and a schema in the same document?

I've been unable to make the move to jEdit as my main XML editor because all my XML files are associated with both a DTD defining multi-lingual entities and schemas to define structure. When I use jEdit, I have to comment out the DTD if I want it to help me with elements and then turn off validation if I want it to help me out with entities. The strange thing is that XML Insert happily suggests the possible elements while the main window underlines everything in red and says no elements are defined.

I'd be very happy if I could figure out how to make this work. Thanks!

Hi,

Does anyone know of a plugin/macro to automatically print every open buffer?

Thanks

Is there any option/Plugin for Folding of VHDL files ?
like folding brackets, and folding process ...
thanks

Please assist - I am eager to use JEdit but I will never be able to get into it if I can't get the color coding 'the way I like it'...yes, this is probably one of my more important requirements strange as that seems...

But I do not understand how this works in Jedit. Is there a way to set it up so that it can color code my HTML tags one way, my javascript another way (with the entire script in a specific background color) and my JSP another way (with each scriptlet block in another background color) ?

The idea being that, more than color coding attributes and specific details like that, I am interested in breaking out a JSP file so that all blocks of HTML,JAVASCRIPT and JSP have different background colors throughout the whole block so you can easily see what language you are in .

I currently use homesite because it gives me the customization to do just this and I am dying to try jedit but I have no idea if such color coding is possible

Thanks a lot

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to regular expressions, but I have used jEdit for soem time now. I have search online (google) and also around these forums. So far I haven't found any information for what I am looking for. Perhaps it is my lack of experience with RE if so please forgive my ignorance.

I would like to be able to run regular expressions in jEdit as whole expressions, for example. presently to do a complex find and replace I have to type regular expression argument in the search box, And then place a value in the replace box. The problem with this is that I can't use parenthesis () to back-reference a previously reference string.

Programatical example:

s/(<h2>[^<]*./h2>)/<div>\1<p></p></div>/g

Search for <h2> and any thing in between this and it's close tag to replaced and included as e.g.
find: <h2>Title here</h2>
and replace with: <div><h2>Title here</h2><p></p></div>

regardless of the value for the content between the <h2> and </h2> strings.

I realize that I can use a macro to complete what I am attempting with RE but that defeats my main purpose of learning RE by experimentation.

Thanks Aaron

Text insertion before a number on 10,000 text lines possible?

I figure it could be possible to do it with a macro or action script of sorts however one would need to start from the last line forward as the text inserted will need to be 3 lines or more itself and that would make the line seeking not work properly if started from the beginning.. Below is example of what I am trying to achieve..

111111
222222
333333
444444
555555

turned into this 10,000 times automated in a batch file?

Please post a reply as what application I should be using if any you know of out there?

below is what the end 10,000 lines turned into 40,000 should look like...

SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 111111
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 222222
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 333333
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 444444
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 555555

If you think I will have do this by hand please also post a reply.. Thanks for reading this.. 2 word comments are fine.. Cheers

I've combed through the forums and search and I am not certain if this is documented, or can even be done.

I work a lot with ant scripts and many are not named build.xml. I am looking for a way to reference xml files other then build.xml as ant file. Is this possible, and if so how?

Thanks!

Is it possible to have jedit do something like pycrust or SPE, where typing...


import os
os.


would pop up a dialogue with a list of methods and properties (preferably including doc strings) from the object/module preceding '.'?

If so, what would be required to set this up?

For making annoying ASCII-Formats (without enough whitespaces in it) easier to read I want to colorize different columns with different colors (i.e. columns 1-10 = yellow, columns 11-20 = red, and so on).

Does have anyone an idea to realize that?

Thanks
Robert

When in Rectangle mode , if I try to use Vertical input ( typing the same text to a couple of line vertically)

How to create new one or where to get it?

Regards,

I have a problem with creating new mode - no syntax highlighitng! I create new mode and have a problem. OK, I (probbably) made error when creating new one. Then create new in next steps: 1. Copy existing mode (pascal.xml) to new (newmode.xml) 2. In catalog file added Try to use this new mode but without syntax higlighting? And yes, I select Buffer option/Edit mode: NEWMODE! Why syntax highlighiting doesn't work? Please help, Misko

Hello,

Is there any way (with plugins or whatever) to save the closed folds after you close and reload? I've tried the build in support plus the Configurable Fold Handler but have not managed to get it to work.

Thanks.

Just installed the application with the following plugins: - CSS Editor - ErrorList - JTidy - Latest version check - PHPParserPlugin - QuickNotepad - Sidekick - XML I just cannot get autocompletion to work when I am creating a PHP document. I press but nothing happens. OK something happens: - I type - Instead of an autocompletion list, I get a [backspace] action: , I get a blank document. Please help

I would like to have a flat plugins menu without A-M and N-Z submenus. Is it possible?

If not, then is it possible to have a few plugins of my choice in the main plugins menu und the rest in letter submenus of the plugins menu?

Wish you a nice day
Thomas
