HTML macro
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 7 November, 2004 - 09:13
Hello,
I'm trying to write a macro, that when I select text it adds the tag to that selected text. I have no problem with making that macro. But I do have a problem when I want to make a (un)orded list. I don't know how I have to search for the line ends (/n) in selected text and add text to for every list item.
Can anybody give a hint how I can do that? BTW I don't no much about beanshell and java
Thnx,

Hi,
I do C++ programming and I'd like to improve the editing experience by getting as much as possible out of code folding.
Basically, I want 3 folding modes at once: fold code between { and }, fold comments, and sometimes explicit fold. How to do it? Thanks! /M. Velky

Default encoding setting for each Sessions (in sessions plugin)
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 8 November, 2004 - 13:10
This would be great feature for people working with different encodings. They could set default encoding for each session (project) to load files with.
Anytime I reload session, it loads with default "Global" encoding instead of last used encoding

Thanks for any help.
Window can't be resized / moved
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 8 November, 2004 - 15:41
Suddenly i have a strange behaviour. The main jEdit window can not be resized anymore. It has allways the maximum size (screen size - WinTaskbar). I.E. i click the toggle icon for maximize/default-size but nothing happens. It still occupies all of the screen. Interestingly jEdit start up with the maximized window. Minimizing the window, so that only the taskbar icon is visible works ok.
Unfortunately I don't know what has changed. A colleague of mine worked on my PC for just one day and now i have the maximum window effect
jEdit 4.2final, java 1.4.2_03, windows2000 SP4
Can anyone help?
Source Control & VSS

Can't get the plugin to work, have tried downloading from site and through JEdit. I have updated the properties file in the jar file, but am getting the following error:
MSVisualSourceSafeImpl - is not in the working folder of the specified VSS Projects - set projects in the VSSIntegration.
When you download thru plugin manager you just get the jar file, I have downloaded the full zip file but have no idea where to put the above class file.
Any help would be greatly appreicated.
Search Replace Multiple Lines With Option To Ignore Whitespace
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 10 November, 2004 - 06:23
For people who get stuck doing search/replace in HTML oftentimes, what you are searching for is multiple lines of text. Also, you tend to want to replace with multiple lines of text. Here is an example:
Search:
<table width="100%">
<tr><td>
Hello World
</tr></td>
</table>
Replace:
<table width="100%" class="somestyle">
<tr><td class="hello">
Hello
</tr></td>
<tr><td class="world">
World
</tr></td>
</table>
In other words, instead of using a text field, an option to use a text area for multiple lines would be great.
Furthermore, an option to ignore whitespace differences in the the search string would be great!. For example these would both match when I searched for Hello World!:
Search Matches:
Hello Wo
rld
Search Matches:
Hello World
You could of course use a regular expression for this. However, when search/replacing large amounts of multi-line text with HTML and other weird characters, escaping all the special characters for a regular expression usage would really suck and take a long time. A simple "ignore whitespace difference" checkbox would be much nicer.
My two cents!

Template plugin: ignore more than three subsequent ##
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 10 November, 2004 - 11:16
Hi All,
I'm a Perl developer and use ########## lines to cut my code into pieces or make things more visible.
Unfortunately, the template plugin rips out these lines as they start with ## and are therefore a vm comment.
It would thus be cool to have a directive to not parse some characters.
E.g.:
#noparse=#####################################################################
Thanks,

About C++ mode
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 10 November, 2004 - 14:49
Hello,
Is it possible to make jEdit indent lines more like Emacs's cc-mode? I mean when I write something like this for example: cout << "some very long story..." and continue to next row with << someVariable << endl; Emacs indents <<-marks to same column but jEdit doesn't.
In my opinion that looks bad. This is just one example and there are other cases too. I wouldn't like to change back to Emacs because of this since jEdit is so much easier to use and I like the Secure FTP option.
i can't have the '^' character, why ?
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 10 November, 2004 - 17:02
I can't use the character '^'.
For example in this case: var = truc ^ chose; When i hit the keyboard (twice, as for other editor) there is nothing.

I just downloaded jEdit for editing java files, I got a message that I need to change jEdit java working directory to JDK from JRE, after some search i found the "system properties" tag and clicking on it has given me the output as follows:

questions:
1.) How do I edit the information so that I change the information from jre to jdk directory?
2.) How do I see the whole line instead of "..." ?
what I did:
I want to edit the information and place in properties directory as "*.props" file as informed so that when I am typing java codes like "classname.", then I will get the listing of methods, variables like in "MS Visual Studio".
I changed the wordwrap to soft and clicked the "systems properties" and it has not changed the way the result is shown. What is the method to view the full lines without "...". Even changed the columns to 120 and same result.
any help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

Hi,
I'm a newbie to jEdit and in love with it.
Does anyone know how to view Java Docs inside jEdit (probably in a new tab). Basically a simple HTML viewer. I don't know if this is possible by any plugin/macro? (I might be dumb). It is a great value add for developers.
Thanks in advance

keyboard mapper for non ASCII characters
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 13 November, 2004 - 11:11
I have to write programs with a lot of strings written in other scripts like cyrillic, japanese and so forth. I can use the input method editors of MAC, PC or Linux, but for typing IPA or the Chinese transcription Pinyin there is no input method editor.
It would be a very good to have such a user configurable plugin for jEdit. I don't know whether it is possible to write a plugin which runs between key event and text area but I guess.
sugestions:
- via plugin option you can create different key mapping tables
- you can choose your key mapping by shortcut
- the key mapping table is saved as normal utf8 file
- it should be possible not only to have a 1:1 mapping but also n:m mapping, i.e. I write e.g. 'shi' and the plugin insert the Japanese character 'shi'
- I don't know whether it is possible but it would be very nice: If I type a 'A' a popup window appears and I can choose which 'A' I want to insert the Latin, Greek, Russian, etc. if there are more thna one entry for 'A' in the mapping table.
I installed the plugin 'Accents' and I was inspired by it.
I can try to write this plugin by myself but on one hand I haven't a deep insight into the jedit classes and on the other hand I havn't enough time. But at least I would help!
Thanks in advance

jEdit creates new view for each file that is opened from Konquerer in KDE
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 13 November, 2004 - 22:48
jEdit creates new view for each file that is opened from Konquerer in KDE. I think that it correctly connects to the already running jEdit server, because the existing view(s) are updated with the new file. However, I only want one view and rather use the buffer switcher. What's the point of having a jEdit server that is the only running instance of the program, if this instance starts spawning several windows? How can I achieve it to prevent jEdit from opening a new view for every new file?
Using Eclipse to develop plugins
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 14 November, 2004 - 09:27
I want to use Eclipse to develop a plugin. No problem setting up an Eclipse(3.01) project running JEdit 4.2 with breakpoints etc. But now I would like to be able to debug a plugin (setting breakpoints in the plugin source), and it seems to me that is not easily possible without modifying JEdit considerably (which I would prefer no to do). JEdit appears to be designed to only run plugins from jars. Any ideas?

Same group, different user, saving doesn't work, gives error:

Works only if I am the owner of the file...
Solutions, please. I cannot do work because of this
