When in Rectangle mode , if I try to use Vertical input ( typing the same text to a couple of line vertically)
I cant use TAB , it only puts one vertical TAb and then exits the Vertical mode?
Any suggestions?

Currently, I have a lot of option in Character encoding:

ISO-8859-XX
UTF-XX
Windows-XXXX
...

But, old DOS CP 852 is missing.

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

I've installed jEdit 4.2final on a WinXP. I've used the Plugin manager to install ProjectViewer and SQL (among others).

I note that in a project's properties, I can define servers including Password and Username. (I'm using a DB2 database, ODBC appears to be the only available SQL server type).

I can't seem to find a mechanism to enter the password only when connection is attempted. I don't wish to leave my password, or username for that matter, in the definition of the server. I'd like a situation such that when I try to make a connection, I am asked for the password, or username/password.

Can I do this? And, if so, how?

TIA

I've done a search through the forms and Google, and couldn't find the answer to this question: Is there a way to get console to cd (change directory) to the current default project directory for ProjectViewer. It's the last little touch I need to have my happy little Java IDE.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying jEdit out -- I typically use emacs as my text editor.

I can't find any emacs key bindings, and when I try to manually change the shortcuts in the global options, the dialog will not accept a keystroke containing ctrl or opt (alt); it will only accept the cmd key as a meta key. Is there any way to get ctrl-based shortcuts on Mac OS X? Is there an easy way to configure jEdit for emacs key bindings (e.g. Ctrl-E to move to the end of the line, etc)?

Also, I tried using the included Mac OS X Setting plugin to use a Mac-style menubar at the top of the screen, but it is still in the jEdit window. I've checked/unchecked the checkbox and restarted jEdit multiple times, but I still have a menubar in the application window. Am I missing something?

Hi, I'd like to write a commando file for calling a C compiler. I've had a look at some of the available commando files. I understand the XML parts however I'm not clear about the COMMAND section, for example: buf = new StringBuffer("cd "); buf.append(MiscUtilities.getParentOfPath(buffer.getPath())); buf.toString(); buf = new StringBuffer(gcc); if(wall) buf.append(" -Wall"); if(!link) buf.append(" -c"); if(!addopts.equals("")) { buf.append(" "); buf.append(addopts); } buf.append(" "); buf.append(source); buf.toString(); Is this BeanShell? Cheers, Chris

Hi,

I'm new to jEdit.

I'd like to use it for cross-platform C development.

I'm particularly interested in how to compile, link and execute code from jEdit. I've installed the Console plugin and managed to get it to compile some C code (I'm currently working on Windows).

The plugin has a command to "Compile Current Buffer/Run Current Buffer" however when I try to execute these commands I get the following error message:

"There is no compiler associated with this buffer. You can specify compilers on a mode-specific basis in the Utilities->Global Options dialog box"

I've had a look in this dialog box however I can't see where to set this--can someone please explain how to do this.

Cheers,

Chris

how do I mark a word and then just automatically fills it into the Find-next option ?
( used crimson editor before, and u just mark a word,and click search-next - it automatically search for the next marked word)

I've noticed when I edit XML or HTML files, if I enter part of a tag a scrollbox will pop up offering me possibilities for completing the tag... Where does it get the information for that? I'm making an edit mode for another language and I'd like to add autocompletion of function names, but can't seem to figure out where to configure that. I thought it was Accelerators, but my template folder is empty. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everybody,

Just got to use Jedit and already think it's a great tool... However, I was wondering, is there a way to keep only one instance of Jedit open? If I choose to open a file assigned to Jedit from other location than File / Open I would like to have it within the same instance on another tab.

Thanks a million.

I am running jEdit 4.2 on Windows XP. I have made changes to the abbrevs file and now I would like to recover a copy of the default abbrevs file as it came with the original jEdit source files. I'm not familiar with the syntax for working with Java files -- can someone provide me with a command-line for extracting the original abbrevs file from the source files, or show me some other way of doing this? Thanks.

When the user splits a view, little wedges pointing up, down, left or right are displayed at the upper left-hand corner of the panes. These are very handy in expanding the current pane and then restoring it to its previous configuration. I would like to create keyboard shortcuts for these useful functions, but I haven't been able to identify the commands by looking in the shortcuts list or in the API list. Can anyone tell me what these commands are called, and if they can be activated by a user shortcut?

Hi there,

I've been using jedit for a short while now for various languages and on the whole I am very pleased but there is one thing that bugs the hell out of me. If I am writing scheme then it indents the closing bracket for me, but I don't want this. Is there any way to change it?

Example (the # characters represent spaces, current operation is first - desired is second):

(if (= i 10)
##(begin
####(do something)
####)
##)

what I want is:

(if (= i 10)
##(begin
####(do something)
##)
)

Thanks in advance!

How do I insert a Unicode character, if I know the hex code for it?

For example, U+00E7 (= c cedilla), or U+0BB1 (in the Tamil range).

Things I have tried:

(1) Entering the Unicode codes (e.g. \U+00E7) into the replace field of the find-and-replace dlg. (IMHO, this is the way it *ought* to work; it's what you do in Visual Slickedit, for example.) But instead, this just gives me the string "\U+00E7" in my buffer.

(2) Copying and pasting from the Unicode consortium charts. But the charts are in PDF, and don't seem to support cut-and-paste. (I'm aware of Unibook, a wonderful tool, but for the moment I can't use that, for reasons I won't go into...)

(3) Modifying the code at http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2115. Specifically, I tried doing a find/replace where the replace string is

(char)Integer.parseInt(0xe7,16)

(and variants thereof); but I get an error msg

Static method parseInt( int, int ) not found in
class'java.lang.Integer

Not being a Java programmer, I'm not sure what to do with this error msg. I suppose I need to install some Java code or other, but I'd really rather not do that (not to mention that this is a *really* clumsy way to do find-and-replace).

(4) Macros | Misc | HexConvert, entering the string
0xE7
(and variants...). But I get the error msg
0xE7 is not a valid hex string.
(If that isn't valid, what is?!!)

(5) The CharacterMap plugin. When I choose the 8859-1 encoding in this plugin's dlg box, I can paste in the c-cedilla (which fortunately happens to be the same hex code as the Unicode c-cedilla). But when I choose UTF-8 encoding, it only gives me the Basic Latin box, and trying to paste in s.t. from the high end of that gives me U+FFFD. And of course Tamil characters (etc.) are not in the Basic Latin part of Unicode.

So how do I enter arbitrary Unicode characters in jEdit? Please note that I'm not trying to set up a keyboard for this, I just have to enter a single character from time to time (or do find-and-replace, where either the 'find' or the 'replace' field contains a Unicode char).

Is there a way to print just what's displayed on screen when working with folded text?, rather than the complete document?
