Has anyone gotten the +line option working on the command line under windows? For example, if I send a command:

C:/jEdit42/jedit.exe MyFile.java +line:4

It always treats the '+line:4' as though I am trying to open a file of that name. Other variants (e.g., -- MyFile.java...) have the same result.

Is there no way to pass in a line number on Windows if you are using the launcher?

Thanks for any help...

I have downloaded and installed a couple of plug-ins but have not been able to get even one of them to work. For example I have installed the JCompiler, the Debugger, the CodeAid plug-ins but cannot get any of these to work. eg cannot run the debugger. What I am doing wrong ?. I am running jEdit Version 4.2pre9. OS is Win NT 4. Immediate help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I've wanted jEdit to have an Alt-Tab window switcher
(like on Windows and Mac) for edit panes for a while
now. That is, you'd cycle through windows, but the
order changes based on which windows receive focus, so
you can quickly switch between 2-3 windows.

This weekend, I hacked together this proof of concept
plugin to demonstrate the idea. After bumping my head
on the various KeyEvent workarounds and AWT warts, I
finally got it to work.

http://www.stanford.edu/~adraken/SwitchPane.jar

Just drop it in your jars/ directory and restart
jEdit. Use CTRL-BACKQUOTE (Ctrl-`) to switch between
edit panes.

The keyboard shortcut is hardcoded in and there are no
actions or options. But, if you like it and would like
to spend some time polishing it, the source is in the
JAR. Go for it.

Have fun.
Dave

P.S. I had to bypass the keyboard shortcut framework
because there was no other way for the plugin to know
when you let go of the modifier key. If you're still
confused, play with the real thing (Alt-Tab) and
notice how it behaves. But because I did that, we
can't use TAB as the action key (no Ctrl-Tab) because
View.processKeyEvent consumes any KEY_PRESSED event
for TAB.

P.P.S. Lee Turner's SwitchBuffer served as a basic
template for building this plugin. Thanks.

Hello

First I would like to say that JEdit is a wonderful editor and has features that really make the coding fun. I especially like the features that help me to reduce the necessity to manually type the same code again and let me concentrate to creativity.

But there is one thing that has bugging me for some time. I really liked the feature run last macro. It was great that I could choose macro from the menu then run it once and after that use keyboard shortcut to run it again and again When I upgraded to 4.2pre8 from 4.1 I discovered that this function had disappeared. I am a little confused - why to remove such useful functionality.

I also explored forums and mail list archives but could not find much about this. Is there a possibility to reimplement this functionality using macros - creating a macro that could access macro history, especially the last executed macro or any other way to reimplement this functionality?

with best regards,
Phade

i have been using vim for just about a year now, and am quite happy with it. the best thing about it is that it allows you to do stuff fast, without having to muck about with the mouse. I'ts also got quite powerful regexes and macros that you can run.

if i switch to jedit, which is probably better from a programming point of view, will i still get these features? can i assign vim keys like hjkl for leftupdownright, dd for delete, etc?

thanks

can anyone help with this? i need it to be used with some time tracking program and need full path of file in main window title ... help ..thanx Lukas

I've followed the instructions on moving the xalan, xercesImpl and xmlParserAPIs jar files, and adding the -D flag to the startup for my JEdit installation on Java 1.4.1_02 on RedHat Linux 8. I still get the transformation error about running with the old version of Xalan-Java. Is there something else that needs to be done? This worked fine when I ran JEdit with Java 1.3.1.

I was using Jedit since a while with Windows, no major issue so far, but since i've installed 56.xx nvidia display drivers, when launching jEdit i have some display corruption.
Then i can use jEdit normally, but when i quit the program system becomes slow (menus are slow, windows draw slowly...)
I was using j2 beta 1.5, rolled back to 1.4.2_03, i still have the same problem, anyone else ? any workaround ?
the drivers seem to work perfectly well with other applications i use.

I am evaluating jEdit as a possible text editor for one of my applications. But I can't see any documentation on that. Could anyone point me to any earlier attempts and/or documentation that could help me.

I don't want to rewrite syntax colouring, undo/redo support, access to file system from scratch!

Hi!

Are there any plans, interest in, or plugins underway already, to provide support for Subversion version control (http://subversion.tigris.org).

I'm about to have a toy around with making an interface using the existing SourceControl plugin (yet to see if this will be feasible). But since I'm going to need to relearn java (then the relevant jedit plugin api's), I thought I'd ask first.

JEdit is wonderful. I remember people making jokes about emacs users never leaving their editors, and now I'm becoming the butt of the same ones because of jedit. Thanks for the efforts so far.

I'm currently trying to install jedit on a computer. I've done one installation on another computer and that worked out nice.

Anyway when I doubleclick on the jar file i.e. jedit41install.jar nothing happens. I've got j2sdk 1.4.2_03 installed so that isn't the problem. I've tried to execute the jar file manually with jawaw.exe aswell but is doesn't work either.

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, I uploaded a new macro I called Toggle Split, but that's not visible in the community downloads, while it's visible using the macro manager plugin. I also tried to update this file, but I could only add another macro with the same name. What should I do to correct these things? Have I missed something stupid?

Hi ya,

I was install the spelling module and it timed out during the download, so I though I'd just try later as the server must be busy or something.

Next time I started jEdit ;
Conbsole
JEditCvs
SideKick
SQL
XML

didn't want to load because errorlist was missing.

Any ideas ? I'm trying to reinstall it now.

I basically want to insert a new line -- or split lines at some string.
Eg: line 1 line 2
via search/replace change to:
line 1
line 2

I'm sure it's simple but i sure can't find it in the docs. (Tried putting \n in the replace text but the slash and n appeared in the result.)

Thanks, Mark

In using Jedit 4.2 pre9, when ever I do a search (not wrapped) and reach the end of the search, a dialog comes up saying that there are no more occurrences of the searched item and if I want to search from the beginning. Upon dismissing this dialog, Jedit loses focus and I'm pretty much stuffed and have to restart the app. Is anybody else seeing this problem?

hi,

it's the first time for me to post here, so hello everyone!

my question is if you can get somewhere the full configs of the setups shown in the screenshot section. me for example, i very like the layout contributed by Ray Russell Reese III.

cananyone help me?
thx

marius

I tried using a 'first line glob' entry in 4.1, and it worked fine (the proper edit mode was selected when loading a file that matched the glob). Now, in 4.2 (both pre9 and pre10) it doesn't appear to be working. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem?


Thanks... Maury.
