I'm trying to open a document over webdavs (webdav over SSL). I tried https:// and webdavs://

Is this known to work or not work?

Thanks.

I was a long time user of Textpad until I recently deserted to jEdit (See http://www.textpad.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6371 for more information). After a couple months I can report happily that even if Textpad comes out with a fabled version 5 with a bunch of cool new features, I doubt if it will come close to jEdit for me. So if there are any other Textpad refugees out there, I wanted to offer some quick hints for getting started with jEdit.

First of all, I should add a caveat: as a Notepad replacement, Textpad is still better than jEdit, because it opens really fast. As a develpment tool, though, jEdit is well worth the short delay. I should also explain that I use jEdit to develop ColdFusion, ASP.Net, VB.Net and Javascript and have yet to do any Java development with it. Another note: after leaving Textpad I also tried out Eclipse (which has a great ColdFusion plugin) for a while, but couldn't give up the powerful text editing features that Textpad and jEdit have.

Textpad Document Selector:
The Buffer List plugin is an improvement because it groups the files by directory.

Textpad workspaces:
Session plugin offers almost exactly the same functionality, as well as a handy toolbar that integrates with the Buffer List plugin.

Textpad tools:
The Console plugin offers a much more powerful interface for integrating external tools. Read the excellent documentation.

Textpad clip libraries:
I never used this feature much, but the Clipper plugin does the same thing.

Textpad block select mode:
Click and drag while holding down the ctrl key.

Textpad keyboard shortcuts:
Whatever it is, including all plugin commands, you can set up a shortcut for it in jEdit. See Global Options/Shortcuts.

Other plugins that I have quickly found indispensible are:
- Code Browser, for showing a function list using CTags. There is a textpad add-on that creates a popup window that shows a function list with ctags, but it never did the job for me.
- XML and Sidekick, for editing html and xml.

Of course, I'm just scratching the surface!

How do I enable the selecting of lines by clicking on the line number?

Is there a script that will automatically add a '>' whenever I type in '<'.
or automatically add a second double quote whenever I type the first one
or automatically add a ']' whenever I type a '['?
<> "" [] get it?

are there any addons/scripts that make jedit better for html authoring using VALID XHTML tags. All I've found are stuff that still do html by 1997 standards.

If you haven't guessed, I'm attached by the belly button to BBEdit. At home I have winxp and need to make Jedit mimic all the best functionality of BBEdit.

Before you say 'just learn Jedit', consider that I spend 8.5-10 hours at work using bbedit and maybe 2.5 hours at home using the computer. Not much time to truly learn it in it's default form. I'd prefer to try to just make it behave like BB.

I was wondering is there any plugin for jedit that will allow you to use breakpoints and stuff like that to debug files using jedit.

Hey, I just started using Jedit and I keep getting this beanShell Error every time I try to do anything that has to do with the Jcompiler plugin. It looks something like this:

[error] BeanShell: java.lang.NoPointerException
.
.
.
. and goes on forever.

Is this a problem with my jdk or jedit?

Thanks,

Matthew

How do you search for non-printing characters? ie: Searching for and replacing all carriage returns with tabs or vice versa...

I just upgraded the two pc's and two macs I use to Jedit 4.2, and noticed that the "Insert" command was gone from the File menu! Any idea where it went or how I can replace the functionality?

Jedit's terrific - thanks to all involved.

Is there a way to disable smart indenting? When I'm at end of a line of code that's indented, and I hit Enter, I'd like the edit cursor to simply go to column 0, and not below the beginning of the line of code.

I would like to be able to run my HTA file from the jEdit editor window. I assume this would require adding a new entry to the Run_Script.bsh macro. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Hi all, Is it possible to run jEdit from pure Unix command line, just like vi or emacs, with no nececessary X windows supplied ? If I run jEdit from command line, it always appear error messages like these: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shell$ jedit Exception in thread "main" [error] main: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. [error] main: at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method) [error] main: at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:134) [error] main: at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) [error] main: at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141) [error] main: at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:62) [error] main: at java.awt.Font.initializeFont(Font.java:308) [error] main: at java.awt.Font.(Font.java:344) [error] main: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.SplashScreen.(SplashScreen.java:37) [error] main: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.showSplashScreen(GUIUtilities.java:1494) [error] main: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit.main(jEdit.java:300) shell$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, ~Noe~

Currently I need to download that plugin
but the jedit always said that IO error

Does that plugin really exist on the server?

Hi All,

Thanks

I am working on multiple files, but I want to move to other files and come back later on. Can I save current open file list?

Hi there,

When using the Code Browser plugin with C files I find the following annoying quirk. When a file contains both a function prototype and a function definition for the same function, clicking on the function name in Code Browser will sometimes bring you to the prototype instead of the definition. I noticed the determining factor seems to be whether the prototype spans across several lines or not. If it fits into a single line, Code Browser will bring you to the defintion, otherwise it will point you to the prototype.

Typically I am interested in the function definition (for the prototype I can use Code Browser's tool tip for example).

I had a look at the man page for ctags to see if one could force it not to generate tags for prototypes but I couldn't see a way to do it.

Has anybody come across this issue and has a solution for it ?

Thanks

Is there any way to let jEdit trim trailing spaces on save?

I could use some help with the send buffer plugin. Whenever I try to use it, it tells me I have an invalid from address. I'm not sure what the problem could be. I just put a straightforward email address in there.

I would appreciate any help at all.

When I use JDK 5.0 generics syntax in the JEdit editor pane, CodeAid cannot parse the buffer, and so I get no autocomplete popups.

Is this going to be fixed soon?

When I click on View > New Plain View, I get a view that contains: Menubar: File, Edit, Search, etc. Toolbar: <<= =>> Buffer Switcher [If I have it on] Buffer Tabs ==== ruler ===== Text Area The strange <<= and =>> in the Toolbar are not part of the configured list when I view Global Options. They don't seem to actually do anything (clicking does nothing). In fact, they look like pale gray versions of the black Back and Forward buttons in the help browser. How can I make them, and the whole toolbar, disappear? How can I make the buffer tabs and/or the buffer switcher disappear on "Plain Views" but not on my Main view? Ideally, I'd like the buffer name in the window bar, a ruler, and the text area, and nothing else. Absent that, I'd accept a File/Edit menubar. But that's PLAIN. I want PLAIN. I sure don't want a half inch of empty space with two dead buttons in it. Comment? =Austin

Guys, i'm switching from windows to Debian 3.1 and having different little yet annoying issues trying to make JEdit operate exactly the same way as it does on my XP box.

I'm almost there but there's one problem which i can't resolve myself - fonts.

For some reason JEdit doesn't show fonts i copied from XP while KDE and GNOME have no problems with that. What can be causing this?

I'm using JEdit 4.2 final with j2sdk-1.4.2.06...

I've encountered a problem with syntax highlighting and MIPS assembly language.
I use the assembly-r2000 editing mode and it works almost perfectly, except that the register name $t0 is not being coloured up. All other registers as far as I can see are coloured green except this one which stays black.

If your not familier with using registers replace that word with variable names.

I was hoping to find someone that has some experience with using jEdit for writing mips code or someone with experience of editing syntax specifications so that I could possibly alter the program to include the register $t0.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I feel like I'm missing something obvious since it seems a silly thing to be happening.
