show latest news on the jEdit homepage
Submitted by paulflory on Thursday, 8 July, 2004 - 05:13
The new homepage's look n feel out-rocks the previous one.

One peeve though - I liked seeing the latest news on the splash page.

Like when new dot releases are announced.

Could we have that back?

A Search function for Recent files (like Search History in Mozilla)
Submitted by paulflory on Thursday, 8 July, 2004 - 05:29
I hereforth propose that there be-eth a way to search recently open'd files.

Oftentimes we open and close files and afterwards wastefully rummage through our
memories and Recent Files lists to recall from whence those files came.

This post requests that recently opened files be searchable, as are visited URLs in web browsers; for example, Ctl-H in Mozilla or IE.

To further burnish the feature, throw in a way to view the dates/timestamps the files were visited. This way Jack can think/do: "Hmm.. I opened file 'earwig.xml' yesterday" then scroll to the files from yesterday and conveniently open earwig without taxing his brain.

Thanks,
Paul
JavaCore-aware JCompiler Plugin again (JCompiler.zip v1.6.2 by Doug Breaux)

I updated JCompiler to work with the latest (0.7.1) JavaCore. The AbstractClasspathSource constructor changes had broken the previous version.
Typing uppercase letters and correcting (recognize S-BS as BS)
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 9 July, 2004 - 10:58
One often needs to enter a uppercase word in TEXT.
For let's say 20 chars you don't touch caps-lock and do it via shift.
However if one does a typo, it's usual or simple to use Shift-BS to correct that.

Shift-BS is not recognized as Backspace. This would be nice.
Autocomplete/dotcomplete for other languages other than Java?
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 9 July, 2004 - 17:23
Hey there,

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but i've spent several hours looking and have not found anything.

My question is: is there some plugin/way to hack dotcomplete to work with other languages other than java? I got CodeBrowser working just fine with CTAGs and it's great in that respect. It does exactly what i want for my C source/header files.

What i would love to do is have an autocomplete and dot syntax that used that ctags information to aid in code writing while editing an actual file, instead of having to open the code browser and then saying insert.

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with jEdit?

Thanks

Python Commando File (python.xml v1.0 by Charles Dominguez)

A commando file to run Python scripts from within jEdit. Invokes the system interpreter (not Jython) on the current buffer. Provides a UI to set all options supported by the current release of the Python interpreter. Error patterns that work with Python are specified in the comments at the start of the file.

Opening large files
Submitted by oren on Tuesday, 13 July, 2004 - 00:28
I tried to open a 6.1GB file, and it fails with heap warning.
I already increased heap size up to 20 and 30 GB, but it still fails to open.
I'm using a sun blade 2000 with 6GB RAM and solaris 9.
Java runtime build 1.4.0_00-b05.
How can I open this file?
Is it possible to decrease the amount of memory JEDIT uses ? (currently its more than double the file I open).
Using side mouse buttons for copy/paste
Submitted by jjrockman on Tuesday, 13 July, 2004 - 14:19
Hi, up until this week I had jEdit configured to allow the use of the side mouse buttons on my mouse (MS Intellimouse) to do copy (left side button) and paste (right side button). This has grown into something I can't live without Smiling
Last week windows update screwed up my machine and I had to reinstall windows. I can't figure out how to configure this same behavior anymore, I did it so long ago I can't remember...can anybody PLEASE help?!? I'm going crazy...
Starting jEdit w/o Launcher
Submitted by Orion on Tuesday, 13 July, 2004 - 22:00
I've always used the jEdit launcher to execute jEdit in the past (winXP pro). However, since this is no longer supported, I've had to find other means.

I've tried, from the run menu: java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar

But it closes as soon as it starts.

I've tried creating a "shortcut" that runs java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar, but I get the "dos" console running in the background, taking up valuable tasbar space.

And, running java -jar d:\jedit\jedit from my "dos prompt" runs it fine, but again, I'm left with the console taking up space.

Is there a way to run jEdit so that I only have the jedit window up, and none of these others? Thanks.
Fast Open problems with jEdit 4.2 pre 14

Anyone able to get FastOpen vers 1.0 to work with pre14 ?

Sounds like a great plugin - like Switch Buffer, but allowing search against recent files, as far as I can tell, plus other goodies.

Clipper - more keyboard controls
Submitted by paulflory on Thursday, 15 July, 2004 - 04:36
Simple, killer little pluggie, Clipper is.

A few more features I'd love to see:

- Pressing Escape (or other user-defined key) pops you out of plugin, as Switch Buffer and others do.

- When Clipper is toggled on, focus should land on the list box, allowing me to start typing the first few chars of the clip-text I'm interested in selecting. Currently I need to grab the mouse, lug it to the list box, and only then can I start typing to find a clip.

- Alt/meta key combos to allow me to jump between the combo box and the list box without requiring me to use the mouse. Less mouse, more efficiency. (I've become obsessed with this concern)

- Short-cut keys should work for toggling Clipper both on *and* off. For example, I assigned Shift-Space to open/close Clipper. When I first hit the shortcut combo, Clipper opens, but when I type it again, Clipper sits there, poker-faced. It doesn't go away.


If these features were implemented, Clipper would be far sexier for power jEditors.

Otherwise, very cool plugin, thanks to André Kaplan.

Any examples for configuring & using the SuperScript plugin ?
Submitted by paulflory on Thursday, 15 July, 2004 - 05:10
Hi all,

I'm having problems getting SuperScript to do anything but output what appear to be error messages. This sounds like a totally cool plugin, but I can't find any examples of how to setup and use it.

I'd love to be able to run perl scripts with it, and eventually beanshell scripts/macros.

Anyone have tips?

Here's the output I get when trying to compute 1+1 several different ways, none of which work:

-> 1+1

org.apache.bsf.engines.perl.PerlEngine
-> 1+1

bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine

bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine
-> 1 + 1

org.apache.bsf.engines.activescript.ActiveScriptEngine

org.apache.bsf.engines.activescript.ActiveScriptEngine

bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine
