jEdit.openFile() stole my focus!
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 1 January, 2004 - 03:37
After calling jEdit.openFile() the textArea takes the keyboard focus (but only if the file isn't open already). Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,

Dave

colored icons
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 1 January, 2004 - 15:42
I allways uncompress the jedit.jar files - replace the icons by the colored ones and compress it again --- It would de good to include the colored icons in future installations

Thanks to the great job of all jedit developers Smiling
The new community L&F
Submitted by thebiMbo on Saturday, 3 January, 2004 - 09:01
I cannot discuss on issues about how better is drupal insted of PostNuke, but the new L&F (specially the feel side) of the community site is not good as the old one.
There're a lot of points which people fire up again and again, i know this is a volontary effort and now is holiday time... but there're some plans on making this more attractive and comfortably either for actual users and/or future users... ?
No Print Service Found
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 4 January, 2004 - 06:40
I know this isn't a jEdit question per se... but I've looked everywhere on the web and groups for an answer.

I get the message 'No Print Service Found' when trying to print on RedHat 9 with Blackdown's 1.4. JVM. Can anyone suggest how to configure this, or a place to look. I can print OK on a Windows install.

thanks
Synchronized Scrolling
Submitted by ivery on Sunday, 4 January, 2004 - 23:14
Not sure whether this is a feature request but, when using the JDiff plugin, the split windows scroll together.

Is it possible to force split windows to have synchronised scrolling without using the plugin?
Feature for the "Search in Directory" command
Submitted by fixedsys on Tuesday, 6 January, 2004 - 06:56
The change log of jEdit 4.2pre7 says:

> The "Search in Directory" command now always selects the most recently
> searched in directory. To search in the current directory with the
> filter based on the current buffer's file name, click the
> "Synchronize" button.

For me this is an unlucky solution because I have to search in the directory of the current buffer in 99% of all cases.

I would suggest something like a small combobox to switch between these options:

- Search in most recently searched directory
- Search in the directory of the current buffer

When opening the dialog or changing this option the directory depending on the setting is inserted.
Smart home behaviour change
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 6 January, 2004 - 15:47
When using smart home, I need to press home twice to get to the beginning of line even if I am already at the beginning of the first word. For example, in the line:

<space><space><cursor>someword

If I press home once the cursor does not move, I have to press home again to go to the begining of line. I would like an option so that when I am already at the smart home position, pressing the Home key takes me directly to the beginning of line.

Some MacOSX (Panther) issues
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 7 January, 2004 - 16:38
Since 4.1 final the key command "Command-," which usually calls the incremental search opens up the preferences.
Also, as someone before stated, some accents like ~ or ^ do not appear with international keyboards.
Any ideas to solve these problems on Panther?
Thanks!
Trouble Installing on RH9
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 7 January, 2004 - 23:40
Can someone help me set my JAVA_HOME variable? I'm running RH9. I've been through the FAQs, a couple of web pages, and I'm not having much luck. Will I need to set the path in one of my command prompt files, or in /usr/bin/jedit?

Thanks In Advance,
Chris Leonard

need cscope
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 9 January, 2004 - 20:12
I need a cscope-like feature. Cscope generates a list of all references to a symbol (like calls to a function, uses of a constant, references of a global, etc.) and puts it in a file. Then when you want to see all users of that symbol, it looks it up really fast. This replaces "search files" or "find in files" brute force searches which can take a really long time. Note it does not replace ctags. You use them both. VI users already get this though I do not want to use VI.

Are there any plug-ins that work like this? Any on the way?

Thanks.

Antialiasing is in the texte area is great, but the rest of the interface is not. Could this be implemented or is there a way to turn it on ?
Uninstalling Lazy 8 Ledger
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 10 January, 2004 - 19:08
I have tried out the Lazy 8 Ledger which came as a package on jEdit.
The Ledger does not suit my needs but I would like to use jEdit.
I have uninstalled Lazy 8 Ledger/jEdit completely and installed jEdit version 4.2pre6
Still jEdit comes up as "jEdit - Lazy 8 Ledger" with "DataEntry" "Report" "Advanved" as first (unactive) menu-items.
I have looked everywhere but cannot find where this setting can be removed.

Can anyone help me?
