New WhiteSpace Plugin Dialog
Submitted by akovia on Wednesday, 15 February, 2012 - 00:46
I wanted to create a custom button to launch this dialog, but there is no action entry in the tool bar or menu editors. I compared the actions.xml of this and the seesions's plugins as they both launch dialog boxes, but I wasn't able to figure anything out.

Is this by design?
how to manually change syntax highlighting from menu
Submitted by masuch on Monday, 13 February, 2012 - 01:05
Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to change manually syntax highlighting to get immediate syntax colouring changes (no reload , no restart).
(This behaviour has notepad++, kate, gedit and many other editors.).
Does exist any plugin/s ?
How to do it ?
For instance it would be useful if I have mix of different programming languages in one file or if I need to quickly change syntax highlighting.

Thank you for any kind of help.
Regards,
Martin
XML open and close tag highlight
Submitted by yookoala on Sunday, 12 February, 2012 - 07:01
Hi all,

I have been using jEdit for quite some years. There is a feature I need but I don't know how to enable it.

I'm a PHP developer. There are many HTML jobs involved in my code. I want to see the closing tag when my cursor is on the open one (and the other way round). I found that jEdit can do that sometimes. But after some time, the feature seems to be gone. I couldn't figure out how to keep that feature in place.

Can anybody tell me how? What modules should I install? What modules should I NOT install? Do I need to do any configuration?
Question about main Text Area Syntax Highlighting details.
Submitted by Zachary1234 on Monday, 23 January, 2012 - 09:48
I have changed the white text background to black, and the text colour to green.

-I notice that round braces ()
and curled braced {}
don't show up visually at all. How May I change this?

-Is there a compile button and or a run button inside jEdit?
Shuffle variables within selection?
Submitted by optigon on Thursday, 19 January, 2012 - 22:03
Long time user of Jedit, but only used to the things I do on a regular basis.

It dawned on me today that there might be a macro or plugin for the following, but I am not really sure what it would be called.

Situation:
There is a line of code with a function including 2 or more variables.
eg. foo(A, B, C)

By selecting "A, B, C", is there a way to suffle their order left or right?
The result would be foo(B, C, A) after using the command once.

I ask because to do this using copy/paste normally requires 2 copy/paste operations.
1. Select and copy "A, "
2. Pasting at the end of the statement gives foo(B, CA, )
3. Select and copy ", " and paste it between CA

Shuffling would either be to the left or right, moving the first or last element to the opposite end of the selection. Returning the with all the items still selected would be useful for multiple iterations.

A shuffle tool that was space and comma sensitive would reduce these edits to a single operation. Perhaps there could be a setting to tell the command what characters represent variable separators (comma, space, math operators, colons, etc)

Having this work for collumn selections would be useful too.

Maybe I'm a lazy coder Smiling
Calling Perl Compiler from jedit
Submitted by rovf on Wednesday, 11 January, 2012 - 12:44
I'm using jEdit mainly to edit Perl and Ruby programs.

Is it possible to configure jedit, so that it invokes, say, Perl -c when saving a file, and have it display the errors? I first thought that the ErrorList plugin would do the job, but it doesn't. I guess I need some "supporting" Plugin which "knows" about Perl. I have already installed PerlSideKick, btw.
Highlight all matches with 'find'
Submitted by seminal on Thursday, 5 January, 2012 - 21:09
New to Jedit - liking it so far. When I hit ctrl + f to find something, it only highlights the first matched result. How do I set it to highlight all the matches on the script?

thanks
Possibility to reactivate the I-O Monitor
Submitted by barcla on Tuesday, 20 December, 2011 - 15:12
Hi,
I ask the possibility to reactivate I-O Monitor, inexplicably disappeared in the r. 4.5.pre 1; according to my opinion it worked better of the Task Monitor and in more precise way.

Tanks.

Excused for my poor english.

save a file with name in sequenze like versioncontroll
Submitted by leuveg on Tuesday, 13 December, 2011 - 14:19
Hei, (sorry for my ugly english -_-" )

i use jEdit for text writing (Examen) and i would save my text files in a sequence like
Text_2012_12_13__01.txt
Text_2012_12_13__02.txt
Text_2012_12_13__03.txt
...
for Bakup. Smiling
In this time i can do this only per hand, but i looking for a plugin/makro/etc. that i get a button for 'klicking' and do this automatical. I know SVN and so, but i think that is a little bit to much for a simple single work text.

Has someone an idea or help for me?

Greetings,
Jens
adding new highlight plugin entry
Submitted by decuman on Monday, 5 December, 2011 - 05:05
Hey Guys,

Someone using highlight plugin intensively?
I have some issues with adding a new highlight entry through highlight dialog. The dialog works normally but when I press add it just silently goes away with nothing added to the list. My highlights list is empty... however cursor highlight works normally (apart from -2 linespace weirdness with offset highlight outline in the latest 4.5pre1 build )

Just in case my Java version is : 1.7.0_01

Thanks in advance,
Nick

jEdit finds both.
Bug?
Regex-Beginning/End of File
Submitted by farphin on Tuesday, 1 November, 2011 - 14:49
I just started using jEdit, and I'm trying to use regex's to find the beginning of the file. I've tried \A and ^^, but neither seem to work.
So, how do I find the beginning of a file (actually, multiple files, to add "stuff" to the beginning of each.)
Thanks.
hypertext search for all lines NOT containing the text xyz
Submitted by garyn_87048 on Friday, 28 October, 2011 - 23:08
I'm auditing a large group of text files and I need to identify lines that do NOT contain a particular text string (for example, find all rows not containing the text "xyz"). XYZ may or may not occur on a word boundary. I have not been able to figure out the regexp to accomplish this.

Alternatively, if the hyper-search returned every line with a count of the number of occurences per-line prepended to each row, that would solve it too.

Thanks!
Code folding - indent does too much
Submitted by masher on Wednesday, 26 October, 2011 - 23:59
I've discovered that if I use "indent" as my code folding setting, if I fold a section of code (parent) that itself has indents (children), when I expand the parent, the children have been folded, even though they weren't initially.

I would have expected that any code should reappear as it was before; ie any folded code should stay folded, whilst unfolded should remain visible.

Is there any way to change this behaviour?
How can I run a macro over all files in a specific directory ?

how to stop jEdit from requesting network access
Submitted by plevintampabay on Monday, 24 October, 2011 - 02:12
Every time I start jEdit, I get a pop up from the Mac asking
Do you want the application "jEdit.app" to accept incoming network connections?

Every time I click Allow. Why does it keep asking?

Is there a way to make the Allow permanent or where can I configure jEdit to not request network access?

This is not just a Mac issue since I don't get that popup for Firefox or other network applications I use.
