I'm having a really strange issue with the 'Find' Dialog using Jedit in Fluxbox. The first time I hit ctrl+F, the Find dialog gets focus.. If I then close it and hit ctrl+f again, it fails to focus and the caret is still active in the editor window! I would LOVE it if someone could solve this one for me - it's a huge pain in the arse!

I don't like how the only descent way I can fold with python is using the indent mode of folding. The problem with it is that it is greedy on ending whitespaces. Example:

def a():
____pass

print 'hi'

If I fold a, I get:

def a(): [2 lines]
print 'hi'

What I want to get is:

def a(): [1 line]

print 'hi

This becomes very annoying because if you use alot of folding it will look very busy, when I'd like to keep the extra newlines/whitespaces after each fold. Is there a way to configure jedit to leave these ending whitespaces?

If not, could anyone help me write a regex line for how to get the configurable folding plugin to work the way I want it? (its a bit tricky because of how python handles whitespaces)

Thank you!

Hi,

I am unable to use the mouse pointer to scroll up and down in JEdit. My colleague is able to use the mouse pointer to scroll up/down in JEdit. Are my settings not up to date? Please advise.

Thanks,

I've recently switched from HomeSite to jEdit and while I'm *really* happy with jEdit there's one thing that bugs me. For some reason the auto-completion for both HTML and ColdFusion doesn't work for me (jEdit 4.2pre14) if the file extension is cfm. If I save something as .html it works, but of course I would like having both tags and HTML expanded. One (stupid) question: are edit modes resposible for tag completion (because I know they govern syntax highlighting)? If yes, is the edit mode that shipped with 4.2pre14 broken? If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know...

Hello!,

Let me begin by saying I love JEdit and use it on all my systems. Thanks to all who have contributed to this great open-source tool. A+

But to the feature request...
It would be great to have the ability to view only part of a line when in soft word wrap mode. When using JEdit I most always use the soft word wrap mode during composition, and it becomes a bit annoying when the buffer "jumps" long wrapped lines when scrolling. Also, sometimes it is the case where I would like to read the last few (wrapped) lines while simultaneously viewing a line at the other end of the buffer. It is disappointing to have screen space for this, yet be limited by the editor. I can imagine some complexity might arise out of combining this feature with window-width word wrapping, but I would gladly sacrifice window-width word wrapping for smooth word-wrap scrolling.

Again, thanks for the great tool,

I'm sure I'm doing a dumb thing, but ... I've got the xml plugin which works great for xhtml editing. I've just loaded a downloaded ant build.xml file, however, and there are lots of errors noted.

The error list shows <project>, <target>, ... and the other ant xml keywords as being not recognized. But the xml insert side panel shows these as being just fine. I believe this means the ant dtd/catalog is known by the plugin.

Here's a picture: http://backspaces.net/files/jEdit001.jpg

So what dumb thing am I doing wrong?!

Thanks...

To compensate the removal of jEditLauncher on windows i extended the windows context menu for files using Windows-PowerPro (Freeware). So i can right click on a file and choose my new menu item 'JEdit' to open this file.

The first time this opens JEdit with the selected file loaded. The second time the selected file will be additionally opened in the already running instance of JEdit, but also a new instance of JEdit is started with the same files loaded.

So it would be a very good feature to restict JEdit only to open one instance of itself. Is this possible?

I am trying to connect to mysql. I have downloaded the plugin for sql and have provided the mysql Jconnector path but I cannot add the server. I am using jedit version 4.1

Is it possible to invoke GDB (or any other command line application)
in its own independent console window using the console plugin ?
If I invoke GDB directly in console it returns immediately...
Thanks.

Greetings,

jEdit is the most perfect code source editor that I have used in my life,
I use many documents in .txt format to document my programs in Object Pascal/Delphi
and a feature that I miss, is to Fill a block o text em justified mode, like the
feature "Fill Paragraph" from UltraEdit32.
I like to suggest this feature. I have tried to create this feature creating
my own plug-in for jEdit, but I´m not know Java very wall yet.

Sorry by my poor english, but Im brazilian, and not have finished my english
course.

How to reduce the body of a function in the text area, in order to have something like that: "+ void my_function(void truc) {" <== all the body of the function is hidden here and when you click on the "+" the body expands. PS: excuse me for this horrible english, i'm french...

The 4.2 installation does not contain a starter application "jEdit.app" as it used to be on jEdit installations on Mac OS. If I double-click the jEdit.jar, the splash screen says it is vers 4.2 final, but I get an error message saying the MacOS.jar Plugin didn't work and I should update it.

When I copy the old "jEdit.app" from an 4.2pre15 installation into my jEdit 4.2 folder and double click, the splash screens says it were jEdit vers 4.2pre 15, also I have deleted my 4.2pre15 installation! But the MacOS.jar plugin now works.

What version does this jEdit.app really start now? I mean, I deleted 4.2pre15! And the infostring in the info.plist of jEdit.app says its 4.2final, also I took it from the 4.2pre15 package! This really confuses me. Is there another way to find out which version is runnig despite looking at the splash screen or see the "About jEdit" menu entry?

Thanks for any help, kimjim

Hello!
What is error during to make an attempt to open file in jEdit from file manager on Windows 2000: "Could not find the main class. Program will exit." ???

Hello,

I've been attempting to get support on this problem for months, so I am respectfully requesting that anyone who knows anything about this issue to please respond.

I have been unable to get the FTP plugin to work properly (I've tried on 3 different machines) since 4.2pre9. As the plugin is critical to my workflow, I have stayed with 4.1final; however, now that 4.2final is out, I would really like to start using it (in fact, I need to because there are newer plugins I need to start using that require it).

Having said all that, here's my dilemma:

I start with a fresh installation of 4.2final. I install the FTP plugin, version 0.7.2. When I attempt to open from a secure server, I click "yes" or "always" to the remote host authentication dialogue. Immediately I get the following I/O error:

Cannot list directory: com.sshtools.j2ssh.transport.MessageStoreEOFException: The message store has reached EOF

I have tried reinstalling dozens of times. Like I said, I've tried on three different machines. I've also tried with two different servers. Never had a problem until 4.2 hit pre9 or so. Opening a non-secure connection works fine.

Is anyone else having this problem? Does the author know about it? Can you duplicate it? Is there a fix in the pipeline? I'm desperate to get an answer (and a fix!) as I would really like to continue using jEdit.

Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read this and for your help.

Thanks,
Shannon

I have just written a very useful console command. It works just the way I want. Unfortunately, console doesn't seem to let you create shortcuts for commands you wrote (another issue). Is it possible for me to write a macro that will call a specific menu item?

I just want it to do something very simple:
executeMenuItem("Plugins.Console.MyCommand");

Is there such a thing, and I'm just not seeing it?

TIA
