Displaying tab and space characters
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 11 August, 2004 - 01:00
How do I do that in jEdit?

I miss that feature from EditPlus.
If it can be displayed, how can I change the symbol used for displaying these special characters? I don't like how the line-feed looks like a period.

Rectangular selection mode, clicking causes a change in buffer
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 11 August, 2004 - 13:05
4.2pre15
When in rectangular selection mode, clicking anywhere in the buffer cause it to think you are making a change to it, even if you don't insert anything there. It does not do that when in the normal selection mode.
P.S. Thanks to all the developpers of Jedit, it is a fantastic editor.
Console Plugin: Getting Commando files to save variables from last use
Submitted by

I'm tring to make a commando file for compiling individual C/C++ files.
It should take in as arguments: which compiler to use, Include switches, Lib switches and other compiler switches.
Is it somehow possible to save these variables so that you don't need to write them every time?
On a side note: Is it possible to make the Eval attribute excute an arbitrary beanshell script?
Thanks In Advance,
Julius
Btw, JEdit Rocks!!!!

Console Plugin on Windows

Does anyone else have problems with the way javac command works under windoze? When I choose the javac option from the menu the default value for the classpath variable is:
$CLASSPATH;C:\your\current\working\directory
Now this is wrong and gives me an illegal argument exception from javac. However if you switch $CLASSPATH to a proper windows system variable notation %CLASSPATH% all is well.
This is a really anoying me, and I could not get rid of despide installing new version of jedit, and the new version of console plugin. Unfortunately I don't know anyone else who has the same issue.
Could it be caused by my Cygwin install which probably hass an env variable $CLASSPATH defined?
Indenting comment lines in Perl
Submitted by
Peacock on
Thursday, 12 August, 2004 - 07:59
When using =pod ... =cut to comment out Perl code, and subsequently using Ctrl-I to automatically indent the Perl code, the =pod and =cut tags are placed in the same column as the start column of the next line of code. They should be placed at the first column of the line though to be interpreted correctly by the Perl interpreter.
Font substitution support
Submitted by
CyberSkull on
Thursday, 12 August, 2004 - 08:42
I've noticed that in MacOS X cocoa programs in text fields/areas that when a given unicode character is not available in the current font it substitutes it from another font. For instance, I am working on a simple card game for a class project and the editor font I use (Courier) does not have the characters I wish to use, being the 4 suits: ♣, ♦, ♥ & ♠. In a program like TextEdit or the Terminal, it would simply grab the characters from another font file, for example "Apple Symbols," a general substitution font (it's nothing but unicode symbols).
I was wondering if this auto-substitution could be incorporated into future versions of jEdit.
I use Courier as my editor font, so the following symbols are appear as empty blocks to me: ₢ ₤ ₥ ₦ ₧ ₨ ₩ ₪ ₫ ₭ ₮ ₯ ℀ ℁ ℂ ℃ ℄ ℅ ℆ ℇ ℈ ℉ ℊ ℋ ℌ ℍ ℎ ℏ ∀ ∃ ∅ ∇ ∉ ∰ ⊆ ⊕ ⋀ ⊾ ⑀ ⑁ ⑂ ⑃ ⑄ ⑅ ⑆ ⑇ ⑈ ⑉ ⑊ ╒ ═ ═ ╗ ☀ ☁ ☂ ☃ ☄ ☆ ☎ ☠ ☣ ☤ ☭ ☮ ☹ ☺ ☥ ☦ ☧ ☨ ☩ ☪ ☫ ☬ ☯ ☸ ☿ ♀ ♁ ♂ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇ ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ ♔ ♛ ♖ ♝ ♘ ♟ ♚ ♜ ♞ ♠ ♡ ♢ ♣ ⚀ ⚁ ⚂ ⚃ ⚄ ⚅ ⚆ ⚇ ⚈ ⚉ ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ♭ ♮ ♯ ♲ ♳ ♴ ♵ ♶ ♷ ♸ ♹ (This is maybe less than ¼ of the symbols font I mentioned earlier).
I do use a handful of these symbols on a regular basis in some of the documents I work on, believe it or not.

PHP and heredoc
Submitted by

Thursday, 12 August, 2004 - 20:47
Is there a way to get jEdit to syntax highlight a heredoc string based on the delimiter?
For example, if I have a heredoc comment such as this
$table = <<<HTML
<table>
....
</table>
HTML;
can I get jEdit to see the HTML delimiters and then treat the content in between as HTML and perform syntax highlighting accordingly?

Column Insertion/Overwrire
Submitted by

Friday, 13 August, 2004 - 02:12
Hi,
I don't know if the plugin options "Column Insert" or "Block Fill Insert" are meant to do column insertion but if so they don't work, if not then this is a pretty basic feature that I'd expect the editor to have.
I'd expect to be able to cut/copy column data and be able to insert OR OVERWRITE elsewhere including past the ends of any existing lines (which appears to be another JEDIT limitation?).
Thanks

Wildcard Use in the File System Browser (open dialog)
Submitted by

Friday, 13 August, 2004 - 02:16
Hi,
I'd expect the files matching the wildcard to be loaded... What happens is a session with an invalid name is opened.
Wildcards can be used from the command line but this also opens up a new JEDIT window (although that could be something I'm doing wrong).
Thanks,
Dennis
Can't go past end of lines
Submitted by

Friday, 13 August, 2004 - 02:20
Hi,
I've been using JEDIT fulltime for a while now and one of its most annoying features is that it won't let you go past the end of the line.
Other editors allow you to do this and backfill with witespace if something is typed. I should be able to down-arrow from a long line to a shorter one and not have the current position moved to the end of this line.
Am I missing an option, I've looked...
Thanks,
Dennis
Structure browser: link tags in html files
Submitted by
kimjim on
Friday, 13 August, 2004 - 13:47
I use jEdit 4.2pre15 on Mac OS X 10.3.5, java version 1.4.2. The structure browser can't parse html files correctly if there are these kind of <link> tags in the head:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stil.css" type="text/css">
The structure browser doesn't seem do recognize the end of this tag, and shows everything that follows as a cascade within this link tag. It also doesen't recognize end tags of some following tags (ignoring tags, for example). It looks like this:
doctype
html
head
title
link
body
table
div
div
insteat of this:
doctype
html
head
title
link
body
table
div
div
But if I change the link tag like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stil.css" type="text/css" />
(including " />" then everything is okay. But this is not correct syntax for my HTML 4.01 Transitional documents. The w3c validator criticises it, and jtidy removes the " /".
Is there anything I can do to change the parse behavior of structure browser on this link tags?
jEdit 4.2pre14 refuses to start on Redhat 9

I have just installed jEdit 4.2pre14 via apt-get. Installation went smoothly with no errors.
However, when I attempt to start jEdit through the GNOME menu, nothing happens. When I use the command line to start it, the following message appears and jEdit aborts loading:
[root@Jerusalem bin]# jedit
/usr/bin/jedit: error: failed to set JAVACMD
/usr/bin/jedit: line 135: -Dbsh.jedit=true: command not found
[root@Jerusalem bin]#
I have checked my jedit script and there's no JAVACMD variable. However, I do not know how to set it. Or is there another reason for this problem?
Thanks in advance for replying.

Specifically, I'm looking to get jedit to behave like ColdFusion Studio, but I think the general theory applies to anything. How do I enhance the list of tags that pops up when I start typing "<"? currently I just get html tags, but I want the CFML tags to appear as well.
Thanks.
