Is there an option/plugin that allows user defined variables to be colorized in addition to normal syntax coloring? (e.g. If I declare "bool PluginExists", both "bool" AND "PluginExists" would be colorized, as would any additional occurrences of "PluginExists".)

I have new JEDIT 4.2pre9. Display_shortcuts.bsh can show table, but buttons and key letters are not working. I can only close the window using upper right cross ....
Display_abbreviations.bsh is working well. Problem with my hands?

Hi,

I have just started using JEdit, can anyone tell me how I can get my programs to run after I have compiled it.

Thanks

I edit SVG documents but Jedit (4.1) don't validate them against declared dtd.
I Downloaded it in the dtds directory, but Jedit keep to find "many errors" in my file (element "..." must be declared...).
I don't either understand the "remote host", "login" "pasword" form to cache dtds...

Hi,

I'm running MacOS Panther with newest updates.
Jedit 4.2 pre9 won't quit/exit.

(I am new to jEdit, so please bear with me)

I am learning C++ and am using jEdit (v4.1) as my editor of choice. I have noticed that the Console will not run programs requiring user input (e.g. std::cin >> menu_choice;) properly; it just continues through the program without waiting for values. Inconvenient, yes, but nothing major. These same programs function as expected when run from the Windows DOS prompt.

What I am trying to do is create a macro to run such a program in DOS. What I have so far is:

// filename parsing code, blah, blah, blah
runCommandInConsole(view,"System",runDOS);

Which works BUT as soon as the all the values are entered and the rest of the program executes, the DOS prompt window disappears and focus returns to the jEdit Console. It seems that the DOS prompt is not being spawned independently of jEdit/Console.

Looking through the documentation I tried variations using "&" to create a background process and "%detach" to create a separate process. Same result. I also tried the approach in the Launching External HTML Checker script by specifying the actual application path (C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe), but that runs DOS within Console (without spawing a DOS window) and I can't figure out how to send commands to it.

SO I guess my questions are:
1) Is there a way to launch the DOS prompt as an independent window?
2) Is there a way to send commands to a DOS process running in Console?

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

Hi,

Is there a way to indent a rectangular selection with any text?
In some editors (Ultraedit for one) you can perform a zero width rectangular selection (I managed that in Jedit) and just type in the text (in Jedit, the text just appears on one line unfortunately). Is there any way to accomplish that?

Thanks,

Seb.

Whenever I go to plugins.jedit.org, the page takes a while to load. When the page comes up, the left column appears in the entire screen, and the bottom of the page has a message that says:

error opening cache file '/home/groups/j/je/jedit-plugins/cache/%2Fhome%2Fgroups%2Fj%2Fje%2Fjedit-plugins%2Flib%2Fchrome%2Fcategory_list.php.cache' for writing

The entire jedit website seem to be sick over the weekend (3/6 to 3/7), but it seems to be ok now. However, the plugins home page is still having problems. The Plugin Manager in jedit seems to be working though, when I click the "Install New Plugins" button (although I haven't actually tried to install any plugins).

Does anyone know what's going on?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but

plugins.jedit.org has been broken for several days.

Can somebody please fix it????

"error opening cache file '/home/groups/j/je/jedit-plugins/cache/%2Fhome%2Fgroups%2Fj%2Fje%2Fjedit-plugins%2Flib%2Fchrome%2Fcategory_list.php.cache' for writing"

Is it possible to select an entire column? -Disregarding paragraphs or other divisions in the text.
Rectangular selection is not very convenient when dealing with very large files. I'm looking fore some feature that enables me to select a portion of a line and being able to select "extend selection vertically throughout entire file", or anything similar with same effect.

Does jEdit already have such a feature or is it available as a plugin?

I would really appreciate any help on this!

I think it's useful if you can open the history in a HistoryTextField with
a shortcut. Here my Code suggestion:

HistoryTextField.java:
protected void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent evt) {
if(evt.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
if(evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
else if(evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN && evt.isAltDown()) { // Added Line
showPopupMenu("",0,getHeight()); // Added Line
evt.consume(); // Added Line
} // Added Line

Hi,
I am new to jedit and have been using textpad to write java programs. I can't get my helloworld application or anything to run on jedit. Is it complicated to run java programs on jedit? Please help!! Detail instructions appreciated a lot. Thanks.

Here's what I'd like to do:

Assign a shortcut key to a macro that selects all the text within whatever quotes my cursor happens to be sitting between.

For example, say the cursor is sitting within the following line:

"How do you go to the stockyards?"

Does anyone an idea how I could write a macro that would select everything within the quotes? This would be quite convenient for doing quick replacements.

Thanks,
Paul

When I start working on a file, jedit creates a file called #Untitled-1# and puts it in whatever current directory I happen to be in. This sometimes causes me to have these little files scattered about on the myriad of different drives and file shares I work on. The auto save feature lets you set a 'backup' directory, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to set 'scratch file' directory.

Any insights much appreciated !

I love Jedit and am installing it on all the computers I am using. I have my own global options set up. Is there a easy way to copy my existing options to a new machine after installation. Curretly I have to re-configuring the options everytime.

Hi,

One thing I miss from other editors is the ability to map
functions to PC numeric keypad keys. In those editors the
keypad "enter" key is different from the main "enter" key
and likewise for "/", "*", "+", "-" keys etc.

In jEdit 4.2pre9 most of the keypad keys can't be
distinguished from their main keypad counterparts.

Maybe this is a PC/JDK issue?

Hey Folks,
I just got the copy of pre9 again tonight, I ditched it a while ago because the first thing I noticed when I started using it was that the scrolling speed was REALLY slow, so I figured I'd have to stay w/ jedit4.1 ... anyway, i just re d/led it .. the scroll speed was still sluggish, but for some reason I decided to change the look/feel in the appearence pref from Mac OS X over to Metal, and the scrolling speed problems were fixed!

I noticed that this was mentioned once or twice on the forums, but never came accross a solution, so I figured I'd let y'all know.

Also, the mac plugin now seems to be working as expected so far ..

Sorry if this was all covered before, but I'm pretty psyched about the whole deal, really ...


thanks!

ps - I'm using the latest version of Panther w/ all the updates (including the java 1.4.2 updated that caused many-a-woe...)

Would it be difficult to organize the Plugins menu by categories, using same categories we find in the plugin manager 'update' and 'install' screens? Or at least have the possibility (some global option) to have the full plugin names in this menu.. I'm sure many of us have had to re-read all the plugin names to find the one we're looking for.

Also, would it be hard to popup a plugin's submenu (as seen in the Plugins menu) when right-clicking over the docked plugins (thus adding the menu rubrics to the usual 'float', 'dock', etc. rubrics)? That would be grrrreat!
