Just find it interesting.

Looking from the download count, quite some people download "strange" mode. Seems people use it for different purposes.

Personally I use it as text editor (not all text editing task). Mainly its regular expression support is very useful to me. Some macros are also very useful, especially the "add prefix and surfix" macro. Sometimes when editing html file, I use it to understand file struecture, because of its "find matching tag" feature.

What are you useing it for?

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed 42pre14. I upgraded from 4.0.3, and I notice there is now no windows EXE.

This FAQ Item (http://jedit.org/FAQ/installation.html#id2877328) refers to JeditLauncher, but I don't see anything like this in my install directory, and I don't see any exe's.

What am I missing? I need to have an exe so I can set up right-click sendto and associate files and such.

Thanks,
Chad

Are there any attempts to build a jEdit Version using SWT3? Eclipse' GUI looks and feels far more consistent than jEdit's and even appears to be somewhat faster. Since jEdit appears to be pretty complete and feature rich, I think there is nothing else jEdit would profit more from atm than changing the editors interface to a more accommodative one.

Has anyone gotten indenting to work properly in ruby mode? For example, when inside of a method (inside of a def statement), jedit automatically defaults to the _same line_ that the def is on -- no indenting happens. Also, it doesn't recognize the "end" statement, or push it back an indenting level. Thanks for any help

When a .html file is opened, jEdit knows to use HTML syntax highlighing. When a .php file is opened, it knows to yse the PHP syntax highlighing. What extension is needed to that jEdit will use pl-sql syntax highlighting when a file is opened?

Hello, I am using jEdit 4.2pre14 and seems the +line: option does not work correctly. If I use a line number, say 2000 then the caret is positioned at line 2000 but the screen is not scrolled down to bring up the line in the visible area. You have to scroll down to see the caret/hightlighted line. Any input?
Thanks

Hi-

Using JDif to compare two long files, I first thought they were identical b/c no 'color bars' showed up. However, by scrolling down I found that there were differences, just not within the current window.

Then I found the JDiff Virtual / Physical option: Physical adds another set of bars to show a complete overview w/o having to scroll, Virtual takes the bars away but reserves the same space for them. So I'm wondering, if the space is always reserved, why have the option? And if in some future release the space can be collapsed, shouldn't the 'Physical' option be the default?

Thanks for JDiff, is a great plug-in!

Platform: OSX 10.3 java 1.4.2, JEdit 4.2 pre 14, JDiff 1.4.1

Thanks,

Hi to all jedit community.
would sombody point me where and how to tweak the source code of jedit to get a Floatable ToolBar.
Thanks in advance.

The clock in the status bar of jEdit currently shows the time in 12hr-mode. There should be a configuration dialog to select the desired time-format. Or just an editbox to enter the format pattern.

Just upgraded from 4.2pre6 to 4.2pre14, just to stay current. Duplex (2-sided) printing,
which worked fine under 4.2pre6 just gives me single-sided printing in pre14. System is
Solaris 9 on Sparc. Any ideas??

I'm trying to use Gruntspud to get the jedit cvs files on sourceforge.

USing gruntspud 0.4.6-beta on Windows XP.
When I issue an update command I get the following:

Changing home directory to c:\mycvs
Command update -d -P jEdit
[:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jedit]
Opening connection
Connection opened
Local path is c:\mycvs
unrecognized request `Case '
Closing connection


Has any successfully used gruntspud to retrive jedit or jedit-plugin files from sourceforge?

Is there a workaround to the "unrecognized request" problem?

In version 4.1 there was possinility to specify word margin:0 (which was an equivalent of 100%) and lines where wrapped nicely by the end of visible textarea. That feature was awesome but in version 4.2 I can't set it to 0 and it force me to select numbers of characters to wrap - I hate it! When I close my left pane it wrap line by that damn 80 chars and whole chunk of textarea just unusable. I've read release notes and it says that margin:0 was removed becouse it unfunctional, but IT IS FUNCTIONAL in v 4.1 Please take it BACK!!!

Or maybe somebody knows that I don't?

Thanks.

hi, i'm trying to use jedit with python, but jedit fails in indentation

e.g
i define a loop ('_' instead of ' ' for readability)

for i in range(10):
____print i

then to get out of the loop, i hit : but it doesn't unindent as needed, it just goes 1 space back. In every other python editor i've been using for years (emacs, idle, etc) behaves as expected.

for i in range(10):
____print i
___outSideOfTheLoop

instead of

for i in range(10):
____print i
outSideOfTheLoop

so i can't use jEdit to python

I would like to use the lilypond plugin for jedit, downloaded and added it to the .jedt/jars directory. Then restarted jedit and it told me I needed another plugin, got it, restarted, now need another plugin, etc, so far about a dozen times. I am still being told I need the plugin jhall.jar. I thought I finally found it and so copied it to the directory but now that results in another error, so I renamed it to .old. Now when I start jedit I am told lilypond plugin requires jhall.jar plugin.
Anyone have this plugin or know where I can get it?
Thanks

I modified the JEditTextArea.lineComment method to insert a comment at the very beginning of the selected line(s) if the line(s) didn't already begin with a comment. The comment is removed if it is already there. This allows the "line comment" command to act as a toggle - commenting out uncommented lines, uncommenting lines already commented.

Would this be a useful feature?

Code from JEditTextArea.java (JEdit 4.1 final), beginning at line 4119:

String text = getLineText(lines[i]);
// Toggle comments at beginning of line, add if not there, remove if there.
if (text.startsWith(comment)) {
buffer.remove(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]), comment.length());
}
else {
buffer.insert(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]), comment);
}
// buffer.insert(getLineStartOffset(lines[i]),
// + MiscUtilities.getLeadingWhiteSpace(text),
// comment);
