Can't open Internet Explorer
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 27 April, 2005 - 19:13
When I install jEdit, thereafter I cannot open Internet Explorer. Whenever I open Internet Explorer it instead opens up in jEdit as a bunch of illegible text. In the title bar it shows a file name of icwconn1.ex_. If I uninstall jEdit then Internet Explorer works fine again. If I then reinstall jEdit Internet Explorer quits working again. {LOOP}

I don't know why this is happening; jEdit works fine on all my other workstations in conjunction with Internet Explorer.

And no this isn't a "feature". I know Internet Explorer sucks; I'm posting to this forum through FireFox right now, but I am a web developer and I have to test in Internet Explorer for all of the sheep.

I'm running Windows 2000 Professional on the box where the error is occuring.

Thanks!

Charset encoding and plugins
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 28 April, 2005 - 14:47
Hi all,

I'm using jEdit 4.2final with XSLT 0.6.0.

I have to transform some utf-8 .xsl files, but when I click on "Tranform XML" the XSLT plugins says:
===
[error] AWT-EventQueue-0: [Fatal Error] filename.xsl:1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
===
because the file starts with the three bytes that identifies utf-8 files.

I don't understand why the File System Browser - that appear when I click on the "Select source XML" or "Add styleshet" buttons on the XSLT GUI - doesn't show the "Encoding >" line in the "Commands" menu...
Obviously I set utf-8 in the Global Options->General->Default Encoding and I disabled the Auto-detection, but XSLT plugin seems to ignore these settings...

Note that the "Encoding >" line in the "Commands" menu of the File System Browser:
appears when I choose File->Open on jedit main menu
doesn't appear when I choose Open file in another plugin (QuickNotepad)

For these reasons I think that the Encoding selection in the File System Browser is disabled when the Browser is invoked
by a plugin, but I don't understand why.


thank you in advance

Lost features moving from 4.1 to 4.2
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 28 April, 2005 - 21:02
When I had 4.1 installed using the Windows installer, I could right click on multiple files and I would get an option to Open All of the files in the same editor. With 4.2, that feature seems to be missing. Now I just get the "Open with jEdit", but it will open each file in a separate editor. Why was this feature removed in 4.2?

Hi

Is there a way or macro out there so JEdit can order a selection of lines alphabetically?

Many Thanks

Search and replace in large files/indent large xml files
Submitted by Anonymous on Saturday, 30 April, 2005 - 06:55
Hi!

I have several large xml files that misses line breaks. I tried search and replace on one of them and it worked, but not on all the files in the directory, then I ran out of memory. What can I do?

Ideally I would like to use xmlindent, but can I use it on a whole directory?
auto-indenting - is this possible?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 1 May, 2005 - 16:13
I've read through the edit mode description docs, but couldn't figure out if the following is possible or not:

Can i tell jEdit to auto-indent in the following fashion? (*'s would be spaces inserted by auto-indenting)

(let ((a 2)
******(b 3))
*****(if (= a 0)
*********(foo)
*********(bar)))

Basically - i want the opening parens of the same level expressions in lisp/scheme to match.
If this is impossible with edit modes descriptions, is this somethign that could be trivially implemented with a plugin?
Change line break characters and encoding on whole directory?
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 2 May, 2005 - 11:08
Hi!

Is it possible to change line break characters (from unix to windows) and encoding (utf to iso-8859-1) on a whole directory containing text files?

Any help appreciated
Typing anywhere on page
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 2 May, 2005 - 13:54
I would like to be able to position the cursor anywhere within the editor window and begin typing at that location.

The current behavior is to force me back to the beginning of the line at the left hand side.

My Windows based editor does this but I am trying to move in to linux full time.

Thanks,
Jon
auto tab behavior
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 2 May, 2005 - 14:02
I would like to be able to select the 'tabbing' behavior to match my coding style. The only behavior I see now is to force my next line to start to the right of where ever I am typing. What I would like is:

always@(test)
begin
newtabhere
newtabhere
end

and NOT

always@(test)
begin
newtabhere
newtabhere
end


Well the forum doesn't do my request justice - all of my spaces have been swallowed up.
Try editing my submission to see what I am talking about.

Anyway - my Windows based editor does the behavior I want but I am trying to use jedit in linux full time.
Please help!

macro/plugin to open/close docked panels (via keyboard) ?
Submitted by paulflory on Tuesday, 3 May, 2005 - 15:31
Anyone know of a way to assign shortcut keys to open/closing of docked panels?

I'd like to be able to open/close the File system browser (dock) with the stroke of a key, rather than mouse.

Possible with a macro or plugin, other ?

Thanks,
Paul

Trouble with "HTML Suggests" and Xinsert
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 4 May, 2005 - 14:54
Hi, I've been using JEdit for a while, so as to develop websites in xHTML/CSS. I encounter 2 bugs : On a HTML sheet, there's no more "HTML Suggets" (soory, don't know the english name, u know, when u type a "<", it suggests the rest), whereas it works on new sheets. The second bug is with Xinsert : it doesn't insert the macro, but the name of the macro. nothing changed in the xml files... Anyone may help ? Thx
Console: how do you escape double quote?
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 4 May, 2005 - 16:21
The system console for windows eats double quotes. Can't use commands that require them, such as the find command, e.g. find "XYZ" *.html.
find NEEDS them.
Any suggestions?

Getting off the docking strip
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 6 May, 2005 - 19:51
Please, would it be possible to switch off the docking strip? I don't want to see it (the panel) anymore. For better explanation, see http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/2273
Extending the UNDO function
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 6 May, 2005 - 22:59
Whenever I'm typing a line of text, and I realize that I made a typo, I'm used to hitting and/or holding CTRL-Z to undo the letters I've just typed until I get to my error. But when I hit CTRL-Z, it un-does the entire line. Some might say to just use the backspace, because that's what it's there for. So then I press/hold the backspace and sometimes I end up erasing too many chars. So I press CTRL-Z again, and it'll rewrite all the text I just erased. I guess the solution to that is, don't mess up. But if I could do that, I wouldn't need an undo function.

Anyway, is it possible to add an option that simplifies the undo function to undo the last basic action/keystroke?
