Is there a plug in similar to smartypants or is there a way to implement this pearl script into Jedit? I'm a newb here, knowing just enough to code xhtml and awful css. Jedit is great for even just web site dev.
Thanks!
vi key bindings
Hi, I'm a new jEdit user. I'm wondering if there are "vi" editor key bindings available for jEdit? I'd love to be able to use jEdit in "vi mode"
Thanks,

File System Browser Back and Forward Buttons and Customize Browser Toolbar
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 17 February, 2004 - 14:52
Back/Forward Buttons
--------------------
The File System Browser includes reload and to parent buttons to navigate folders, but not back and forward buttons. Such buttons would allow for easy use of previously accessed folders, for opening buffers related to current tasks.
Moreover, Back and Forward buttons on similar applications for fily system browsing are prevasive in file management software and with Web browsers.
Customize File System Browser Toolbar
-------------------------------------
With the addition of such buttons, ideally, Options:File System Browser:General, would also include the specification of the type and order of buttons to display in the toolbar for the file system browser. For instance, maybe a user would like to have the back/forward buttons displayed before the Parent Directory button, or after the Reload Directory button, or not at all.

I couldn't find Andre kaplan (official maintainer) email so I post her my contribution. I modified a little bit th whitespace plugin in order to display colors in indentation to highlight code structure. You can find the modified version of the plugin and a screenshot here :
http://www.limsi.fr/Individu/vernier/IUP/
does someone find it usefull (code readability probably)?
do you know previous work on the topic ?
do you have any idea on which color for a loop or for a "if-then-else" statement ?

'Lock Buffer Feature'
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 17 February, 2004 - 18:16
Hi.
Many times, I have faced this problem when working on several buffers: am I editing the file I think I am editing ? I could realize it with a quick look on the tabs, but I guess we programmers can be quite distracted sometimes, and if I have two PHP sources open at the same time, I would think I am writing on file A while in fact, I am writing file B which should not be touched.
Of course, I could change the file permissions in order to prevent myself from doing something stupid. But not always.
My request is: I would like JEdit to have some mechanism to allow me to prohibit myself to write to a buffer. I would 'Lock' the buffer I do not want to write, and I could work with the two of them open at the same time. JEdit would still allow to select and copy text, but not write to the buffer.
So, what do you guys say ? Have you ever run into this same distraction ? Would this be useful ?
See ya

Selecting the proper edit mode
Submitted by

Tuesday, 17 February, 2004 - 20:13
I am very new to jEdit and I am trying to set up my initial environment.
I hope to use jEdit to write/edit short text programs for a proprietary extension of a CAD application. The syntax of these files are somewhat similar to Fortran, with some exceptions.
I am trying to select a edit mode that will allow for syntax highlighting. Since text mode will not show highlighting, I have selected Fortran. This mode seems to distiguish comments but nothing else.
Is there a resource I could use for selecting the best edit mode to allow for syntax highlighting? Or can a syntax standard be created for use in jEdit?
Some examples of the syntax:
---------------------------------
! used for comments in the programs
! first if end statement
IF_1
...
END_IF_1
! second if end statement
IF_2
...
END_IF_2
SEARCH_MDL_REF !typical reference call but a variable is added
USER_SELECT !typical user input
...
etc.

Plugin download stalls
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 18 February, 2004 - 22:13
I'm trying to install a plugin...
My jEdit Plugin Manager opens, and downloads the latest list of plugins OK, but when I select one or more to install, the Installing Plugins progress bar appears, but does not download anything.
My modem monitor shows that no data is being downloaded. It doesn't matter which pluing I try or where I try to save it.
Please help. Thanks, Tom

word wrap woes
Submitted by
jeidsness on
Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 01:39
hello, all. I have upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2pre9 and cannot figure out how to get word wrap working properly.
I'd like it to do a softwrap to whatever size the text pane happens to be. if i set it to soft wrap, with a margin of 0, it doensn't wrap at all. i can put in a specific margin size (50 or whatever) and it wraps, but sometimes i have 2 files open side by side, sometimes only one (not to mention sometimes i make the jedit window smaller/bigger). i'd like it all to wrap automagically.
am i looking in the wrong place?
thanks in advance
buffer.save problem
Submitted by

Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 08:45
Hello,
I'm struggling with the following problem: I wrote a macro which takes the current buffer, saves it at first and runs then a command line utility via runToBuffer() on the saved file. If this was successful it closes the buffer and tries to save the new untitled one (which holds the results of the computation).
runCommandToBuffer(...);
waitForConsole(view);
jEdit.closeBuffer(view,buffer);
buffer.save(view, null, true);
But the last statement in my macro - buffer.save(view,null,true) does not save the buffer "Untiteld-1". The bean shell variable buffer still points to the formerly closed buffer. Is someone out there who knows how i could save the new buffer created by runToBuffer() in my macro? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Displays a dialog which allows you to switch the line separators of either:
- All open buffers in current view
- All files (recursive) in a specified directory
- All files in a ProjectViewer project which you select
Update: Added filter and now the macro will only close files which are not already open.
Please feel free to update and improve on this...

Displays a dialog similar to the hypersearch dialog
which list all the markers set in the current buffer. Clicking on the entry
takes you to the marker in the buffer.
Please feel free to improve on the presentation ;)
File Open - wild card search
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 20:38
I recently started using jEdit on Windows platform. I like it a lot but there is one feature that I don't like and I was wondering if there is a way to do this.
On most Windows apps, File Open dialog has a "File Name" field that I can type the exact name of the file or do a wild card search. jEdit seems to expect user to type in the exact name or use "Filter" field to do wild card search. It is more convenient to be able to do both from the same field because sometime you don't remember (or don't want to type) long file names.
Is there a way to do this in jEdit?
Thanks.
jEdit 4.2.pre9 on Java 1.5.0 beta - NoClassDefFound
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 19 February, 2004 - 21:30
I recently installed the Java 1.5.0 beta on my Linux machine. jEdit 4.1.final seems to have no problems with it, but when I try to run jEdit 4.2.pre9, I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: error:
Note that this is the only line printed. There is no stack trace or any other information. Odd, isn't it? Has anyone been able to duplicate this problem?

jEdit Applet?
Greetings guys,
I'm looking for a jEdit or like cross plataform editor that work as a java applet. I'm involved on a development project in which we would like to implement a browser-based interface (ide if you like) for coders to work. Sintax highlighting and indentation are the main features we are looking for. Any solutions out there? Any jEdit-based applet?
Multiline search/replace
Submitted by
setmajer on
Saturday, 21 February, 2004 - 12:47
Apologies if this is an obvious question, but the answer isn't apparent from the online docs:
I switch back and forth between Mac and Windows regularly, and am evaluating jEdit as a replacement for HTMLKit & BBEdit so I don't have to remember two sets of preferences, shortcuts, etc.
One of the features both ot those apps have is multi-line input for find/replace. That is, a largeish text box that allows one to input multiple lines of text for both the search and replacement strings. jEdit doesn't seem to offer this feature. In fact, from the documentation (and my experimentation), it doesn't seem jEdit allows one to search for a multi-line string at all.
Am I missing something, or does jEdit really not handle multi-line replacements?
TIA
