Ctrl+TAB to switch buffers
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 28 October, 2004 - 12:44
Hi, I'm used to use ctrl+tab in almost every "tabbed" software to switch buffers -- some apps do it in "stupid" way when ctrl+tab only moves focus to next tab (which I believe can be simulated in jEdit by redefining shortcuts binding) but I found no way to switch tabs (buffers) in a smart way - like Windows XP when using alt+tab: bring the most recently used buffer to the top.

Thank you for the solution. Pavel.
vi, Vimulator resurrected
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 28 October, 2004 - 20:08
I've just switched from vim to jEdit, but have been a hard-core vi/vim user for almost 10 years. That said, I'm definitely a keyboard user, and am quite happy with vi's keystoke combinations. To that end, I've resurrected the Vimulator to work with the current version of jEdit, in addition to adding a bunch of additional keystokes, fixing a couple of bugs, and introducing a couple of new ones... I'm thinking about throwing all my changes together and posting them, but don't want to waste anyones time if there isn't any interest..... any interest?

Unable to debug Java application using JSwatPlugin
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 29 October, 2004 - 02:40
Hello People,
I installed JEdit and the JSwatPlugin to debug Java applications. Now I have a TestBanking.java and a package banking containing five other java files. I try to place a breakpoint at main itself in TestBanking.java When I select JSwatPlugin and there I click on "Start VM" I get the following error " An error occurred during execution of a JSwat action:java.lang.NullPointerException. For more information see Activity log".
I am unable to find why this error is popping up.
When I compile the same program from command line it compiles fine but gives a java.lang.NullPointerException at runtime.
Please advise. Error with code or I am not able to use the debugger properly.

Thanks in advance.
Problem with jEdit and Webdrive
Submitted by amorgos on Friday, 29 October, 2004 - 16:01
I'm using JEdit 4.2 along with webdrive 6.04 (i think...the latest version anyway).

The problem is, when I edit a file, the remote FTP doesn't like the #file# format that jEdit seems to create. so I can't simply save a file using jEdit on the webdrive, i have to save it elsewhere and then copy it onto the webdrive.

Is there any way around this problem?

Thanks a lot

Jumping Between Buffer Panes
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 29 October, 2004 - 19:07
I quite often split the main edit window into two pains. How can I use the keyboard to jump between the two panes. Note I am not talking about doced windows. I am talking about when you use the split buttons on the button bar.

Thanks!
jEdit is a great programmers tool
Tag completion (XML plugin)
Submitted by cld on Saturday, 30 October, 2004 - 21:27
From documentation: "If the less-than symbol ("<") is typed and no other key is pressed within a specified delay (half a second by default), a tag list popup will be shown." Popup doesn't work for me Sad What's wrong with that ?
How do I get lines in between { and } brackets?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 31 October, 2004 - 07:34
I was just wondering how I could get the lines between the brackets like in this: http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=screenshot&image=14 screenshot. Is it a plug-in? Or a setting? I've looked all over for this, so if anyone knows I'd be very thankful.
Setting environment variables in Console
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 31 October, 2004 - 17:25
In Jedit (4.2final) with the console plugin I'm not being able to set environment variables. More precisely, in the system console, and in a win2k system

set Path=C:\

does not work. Several variations with extra \ or with " do not work either. OTOH in the BeanShell console the setenv works alright. Can any1 help me out here, what am I doing wrong?

With my best regards,
G. Rodrigues

P.S: If this is not the right forum for this question, my appologies and plz direct me to the right forum.

Inserting ctrl characters into documents.
Submitted by macbsd on Monday, 1 November, 2004 - 20:27
I have a unix shell script, and I need to insert a (ascii 13) into a sed script. I can insert the ^M via some other editor, but if I open the script in jEdit, then it gets ripped out when the file gets saved.

It's like jEdit is doing a dos-to-unix conversion on every save, ripping out all characters on every save. I would expect that if the file type was set to unix, then the "Enter" key would just generate characters, but not modify the rest of the file.

Thanks,

MacBSD

Browse and link (browseAndLink.bsh v20-Mar-05 by Pavel Štětina and Jean-François Magni)
Submitted by jfm on Tuesday, 2 November, 2004 - 13:16
(If this macro doesn't work using the macro manager, download it directly from http://community.jedit.org/?q=filestore/browse/39). This macro opens a file browser in order to insert links with relative path in an html file. It can be used for linking html, pdf, images, shortcut icons, style sheet files and Javascript files. For images, "width" an "height" in pixel are added. If html files are selected in the file browser, the anchors and id's of this file are listed in a dialog window. It is also possible to edit existing tags (e.g., img) and much more.
