It would make my life much easier if the the variables you change in the Commando GUI to execute a command was remembered between invocations - it takes time to (for instance) change from Release to Debug or changing the make rule every time you compile your project.

I am pretty new to jEdit, so I might be missing something basic. According to the manual and the shortcut panel in "Global Options". C-COMMA should activate the incremental search bar. But what it does on my Mac is open the Global Options panel. This is probably related to C-COMMA being the Mac default shortcut for "preferences", but then jEdit seems to get around most of the other default shortcuts, so why not this one?

Does anyone else think that jEdit 4.2 has pretty weird undo? E.g. I type text:

Brown fox has red nose.

Then I copy "Brown fox" to clipboard and paste it to look like this:

Brown fox had red nose. Brown fox

And then I fire undo.

Expected result:

Brown fox had red nose.

Real result:

(all removed)

Pretty weird

Is it just unzip the files to the user choosed install directory?

After updating to PHPParser 1.1.0, jEdit 4.2final will not do HTML tag completion in PHP mode. I manually downgraded ErrorList to 1.3.1, SideKick to 0.3.1, and PHPParser to 1.0.2. Everything began working again as expected.

So I decided to manually update the plugins one at a time to see which of the recent plugin updates broke this (much desired) functionality. So I upgraded them in the following order:

ErrorList to 1.3.2 => OK
SideKick to 0.3.2 => OK
PHPParser to 1.1.0 => BROKEN

Perhaps it's the combination of the 2 or 3 of them together. But ErrorList 1.3.2, SideKick 0.3.2, and PHPParser 1.0.2 all play together nicely.

I mean the feathure of step over, add watch, break, etc.

If I use command line to start jedit, is it possible to close the command promt automatically after jedit started?

I'm trying to make a Commando files remember it's settings instead of setting the same default value each time.
Instead of this:
<ENTRY LABEL="Custom rule name" VARNAME="ruleName" DEFAULT="all"/>
I want something like this:
<ENTRY LABEL="Custom rule name" VARNAME="ruleName" EVAL="if(ruleName != null) ruleName else "all" "/>
(except the last one obviously doesnt work). Any suggestions?

It would be VERY nice if I could easily search just for a string that is an entire word, and not possibly embedded in another word. For instance, in this mode, searching for 'it' should not match the word 'hit', just the word 'it'. Other editors (UltraEdit, NEdit) have a button called 'whole word only' or some such, on their search dialog. As it is, in jedit, I have to use a regular expression, and surround the word with \b characters.

Hi there,

I tried to install JEdit 4.2pre.15 on a Win2k box.

This is the Java version that I run :
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)

And this is the error message that I have when I try to get plugins:
Could not download the plugin list.
(java.net.UnknownHostException: plugins.jedit.org)

I have obviously access to the net, because I can send you a message
And I have no proxy..

I also tried with a 4.2 and I get the same error message..

The VFS file browser does not allow me to delete non empty directories. I very useful feature would be if jedit could ask if I would like to delete the directory including its content. Current error message I get is: "The following I/O operation could not be completed: Cannot delete file."

I've downloaded and installed this plugin, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work. Now that it's installed, how do I get jEdit to hide bracketed contents?

Is there anyway that you can enable autocompletion to automatically pop up so I don't have to type Ctrl-B everytime?

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to split the docking windows, say top half file browser, bottom half perl browser

Thanks

Drupal is currently not set to allow < code > or < ?php > for input. I would like to share some code, but this is difficult with the current settings which will not display the code as I would like within a posting.

Even for this posting I needed to add a space after < and > . Thanks

I have the following on 3 separate lines in many, many files. So, I want to Search and Replace with regular expressions. Here are the lines:
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >
< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="/foo//links/" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >
< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

My regular expression can't find the above, and I don't understand why, any suggestions:

\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-left-off.gif" alt="[" >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td background="/theme/images/mainmenu-background-off.gif" >< span class="menu_lower" >< a href="foo" >Bar< /a >< /span >< /td >\r*\n*\s*\S*< td >< img src="/theme/images/mainmenu-right-off.gif" alt="]" >< /td >

Thank you. Sorry, the above code looks dirty. I tried < code > and < ? php > here so it would cleanly post, but those input formats are not available. I had to add a space after every < and before every > . This message is difficult to read .

A request: to be able to click on the columns in the FSB to sort the dirs/files by name, type, size, status, and last modified.

First click on a column heading (like Size) would sort one way, say ascending; a second click on the same heading would sort in the opposite order (descending).

Would others find this useful, or useless?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi everyone,

Suppose I want to split one code line in two lines of jedit. How do I set the indenting space for the second jedit line, if I don't want a full TAB space.

Thanks in advance,
Arnaldo

I have a problem getting æøåÆØÅ to work in jedit, I've tryed
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
and setting the encoding properties in the build.xml file.
I'm running Debian and æøåÆØÅ work in all other app's.

I have not tryed to compile it manualy without ant.

Hope somebody can help me getting to use this incredible editor more often.

Some idiot has been posting a lot of crap with links to porn sites.

For example, see the messages with heading "ciao ciao".

Could someone remove these? It's like unwanted graffiti.

Thanks,
