JEdit 4.2pre15 freezes for no apparent reasons.
Submitted by enouk on Friday, 6 August, 2004 - 10:26
Hi all.

I am using JEdit 4.2pre15 (Windows installer) on a Win2000 P3 machine with Java 1.4.2. I also have a few plugins installed (most of them Java related).

I really appreciate all the features JEdit offers, unfortunately it tends to crash quite frequently (every 2 minutes!), especially when I type fast or delete text (backspace): the cursor will then stop blinking and the whole text editor stop responding mouse clicks.

I am not sure what's the cause of it. I suspect it is somehting to do with the plugins. I downloaded them through Jedit so they are all legit no? Could it be that some of the plugings don't like each others?

Has anyone been experiencing the same problem? Any idea on how to solve it?

Cheers
Seb
jEdit - Jext relationship

Can someone explain me what is the relationship between jEdit and Jext - they look very similar.
Text indenting
Submitted by suguru on Friday, 6 August, 2004 - 23:26
This may not be what jEdit is designed for, but I'm trying to use it to write documentation and can't get it to format a paragraph normally. For example, if I put a tab at the start of a paragraph and set soft wrap to on, the second (wrapped) line will be indented by the tab's width just like the first line. In a normal text paragraph in a document (or a book) that wouldn't happen, the first line would be indented by a tab, and the second line would not be indented and would be flush with the left side of the screen.

Is there a way to do this in jEdit? I got soft wrap to work, but no matter what options I select I can't keep all the subsequent wrapped lines of a paragraph from being indented.
Back indent
Submitted by stif on Saturday, 7 August, 2004 - 11:04
When will JEdit have the back indenting feature for keywords like end in ruby, or </body> in html? Thats the only thing i really miss in JEdit - besides that I love JEdit Smiling
Does the XSL transform engine support version 2 of XSL?
Submitted by mxc on Saturday, 7 August, 2004 - 20:02
Hi all, Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to ask this quesiton. I am learning xsl and using jedit. When I run the transformation on a file I get an error when trying to use a user defined function saying that it "cannot find a variable with name of string". I have specified the said variable as a parameter of the user defined function and then try and reference it later in the funciton. eg.
 < xsl:function name="cc:lastSubString">
   < xsl:param name="string" / >
   < xsl:param name="char" / >
   < xsl:choose>
      < xsl:when test="contains($string, $char)" >
Is this because the JEdit XSLT plugin doesn't support version 2 of the xsl specification oir is my xsl wrong thanks

Change Editing Mode
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 8 August, 2004 - 13:04
On the webpage i am working on right now there are HTML template with .tpl extension. It seems hovever there is a seperate editing mode for .tpl, so when i edit one of the templates the features of the XML plugin are not available.
So my question is if it is possible to have the HTML editing mode enabled for .tpl files automatically.
FTP plugin - strore passwords
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 8 August, 2004 - 13:13
I think it would be great to have the option to store FTP passwords. While it is good that passwords are not stored by default, when I am working at home where only I have access to my PC i think it is nedless having to enter the passwords everytime I open jEdit.

HTML/CSS Preview in Browser
Submitted by backspaces on Sunday, 8 August, 2004 - 22:25
I suspect I'm missing something, but I haven't figured out how to view my current (x)html/css page in a browser (Safari, Firefox, ...) while using the XML plugin.

I'm using Mac OS X, so all I really need to be able to do is call the shell command "open" on the current buffer.

Is there a way to do this? .. possibly a plugin?

Submitted by sh0dan on Monday, 9 August, 2004 - 13:58
nVidia C for graphics (Cg) is the basic programming language of the NVIDIA Cg Toolkit. This is a C-like language used for programming graphic cards.
This is based on the "cplusplus" template, but with only valid Cg keywords and all basic built-in functions and data types present.

v0.2 Contains a few more keywords.

BufferLocal 1.2 update (BufferLocalPlugin.jar v1.2 by Dale Anson)
Submitted by daleanson on Monday, 9 August, 2004 - 16:25
Updated BufferLocal plugin. Fix for concurrent modification bug. Originally, BufferLocal was called "BufferMinder" and closed buffers that were open for a while but not used. These are known as "stale" buffers. Closing stale buffers helps reduce clutter without any work. This feature never made it into the initial release, but others have requested it, so it's back now. It is off by default, use the Plugin Options to turn it on and to adjust how long a file should be unused before it is closed. Files that need saved will not be closed, you'll need to save first. To turn on automatic buffer closing, click 'Plugins' then 'Plugin Options'. Select 'BufferLocal' from the tree on the left side. Check the box that says 'Close files not used'. Set the time limit with the spinner. When the 'Close files not used' box is unchecked, BufferLocal will still keep track of stale buffers. You can close stale buffers at any time by clicking 'Plugins', then 'BufferLocal', then 'Close Stale Buffers'.
Antialiasing of fonts... where?
Submitted by DanF on Monday, 9 August, 2004 - 18:11
I've checked, double checked, and googled everywhere and haven't found any options to enable rendering of anti-aliased fonts in jEdit. The AntiAlias plugin is deprecated, so I figured "hey, that means antialiasing is either not supported or there must be an option here somewhere...".

Can't find it. I'm feeling stupid. C'mon you guys, where is it? Sad

I'm a PHP coder and I'm loving jEdit btw. Definitely not love at first glance, I saw jEdit last year and ran away screaming. Totally different impression now, plugins are awesome! Smiling

Keyboard shortcut for column ("vertical") selection mode?
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 9 August, 2004 - 20:27
Hi,
is there a keyboard shortcut to activate column (or vertical) selection mode without having use CTRL-LeftMouse Drag? I miss something like the ALT-C combination of UltraEdit (which I have at work), this key switches the behavior of SHIFT-Cursor-Key between normal (line) and column selection.
If not, is there a way to add it?
Thanks!

stop backups
Submitted by sleek on Tuesday, 10 August, 2004 - 01:08
Every time I edit a file, I keep getting a backup. If the file is Main.java, the backup will be named Main.java~. I have removed the option in Global Options to put ~ as a suffix. But how can I just disable backups completely? Thanks
javadoc comments
Submitted by sleek on Tuesday, 10 August, 2004 - 01:12
When I use vim, I can use a .vimrc to specify that when I start comments and hit enter, the next line will continue the comment characters. For example:
/* blah blah 
 * the asterick is entered automatically
 */

// comment 
// line 2 where // is entered automatically when ENTER is hit

/** 
 * Javadoc style comment does the same thing
 */
JSwat plugin not visible
Submitted by lauviss on Tuesday, 10 August, 2004 - 12:02
I'm using jEdit 4.1 final on Windows XP Professional. I've installed the plugin JSwat 1.5.4 with jEdit. My Problem: After restart of jEdit I cannot find the plugin. Neither with the plugin manager nor with searching through the options. May you give me a hint, what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
lauviss

P.S.: I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything about such a problem. If this is the wrong forum, sorry.
general folding tree view
Submitted by Anonymous on Tuesday, 10 August, 2004 - 14:31
Hi,
It would be nice to have a view that displays the folding
of a file as a tree. I know, there are plugins (XML-Plugin,
CodeBrowser,...) that do this for specific languages. What
I'm looking for is a general tree view, that is able to
display a tree view for every file in every language that uses
folgin in one or the other way. I suggest that this sould be
added to the jedit core, as support for specific languages
should be implemented in a specific plugin, a general
folding tree view belongs to the core. Well, thats my opignon,
others may think different...

BTW.: JEdit is a very cool Text editor - Thank you, guys!
