Is the Tilde issue fixed?
Submitted by rdrs on Wednesday, 30 November, 2005 - 10:30
Hello all,

I've been experiencing this "tilde issue" with jedit 43pre2, as well as with some other Java applications, though not all. I'm using a us_intl keyboard layout on linux, and my windows installation doesn't suffer from this.

I can do graves, acutes, umlauts and cedillas, alone or with a letter, but no tilde. The search and open dialogs 'can't tilde' either.

The same thing used to happen with Komodo 3.1, though it has been fixed in 3.5. Eclipse doesn't suffer from the problem. jGnash displays the exact same problem.

I've checked earlier posts, suggesting some workarounds, but after a message earlier this year, there's no more communication on the matter.

Now, apparently there was some relation between this problem and the JVM, or rather not? It's not fair blaming jEdit if the problem lies elsewhere..

Does anybody know of a solution?

Regards,

Renato
Commando Question
Submitted by cpsmusic on Thursday, 1 December, 2005 - 11:07
Hi, I'd like to write a commando file for calling a C compiler. I've had a look at some of the available commando files. I understand the XML parts however I'm not clear about the COMMAND section, for example: buf = new StringBuffer("cd "); buf.append(MiscUtilities.getParentOfPath(buffer.getPath())); buf.toString(); buf = new StringBuffer(gcc); if(wall) buf.append(" -Wall"); if(!link) buf.append(" -c"); if(!addopts.equals("")) { buf.append(" "); buf.append(addopts); } buf.append(" "); buf.append(source); buf.toString(); Is this BeanShell? Cheers, Chris
G77 Commando File (g77.xml v1.0 by Christos Tsironis)

Compiles the current buffer using the G77 Fortran compiler. Works under both Linux and Windows. This compiler has a large variety of options; only a part of the most common options are included in this version (for the rest of the options see g77 -v --help).
Emacs Shortcuts and Mac Menus?
Submitted by Jason Cone on Sunday, 4 December, 2005 - 03:30
I'm trying jEdit out -- I typically use emacs as my text editor.

I can't find any emacs key bindings, and when I try to manually change the shortcuts in the global options, the dialog will not accept a keystroke containing ctrl or opt (alt); it will only accept the cmd key as a meta key. Is there any way to get ctrl-based shortcuts on Mac OS X? Is there an easy way to configure jEdit for emacs key bindings (e.g. Ctrl-E to move to the end of the line, etc)?

Also, I tried using the included Mac OS X Setting plugin to use a Mac-style menubar at the top of the screen, but it is still in the jEdit window. I've checked/unchecked the checkbox and restarted jEdit multiple times, but I still have a menubar in the application window. Am I missing something?
Console ProjectViewer working directory at startup
Submitted by skytomorrownow on Monday, 5 December, 2005 - 00:23
I've done a search through the forms and Google, and couldn't find the answer to this question: Is there a way to get console to cd (change directory) to the current default project directory for ProjectViewer. It's the last little touch I need to have my happy little Java IDE.

Any help would be appreciated.

SQL Plugin: Specify password at connect time?
Submitted by Cornell on Monday, 5 December, 2005 - 20:41
I've installed jEdit 4.2final on a WinXP. I've used the Plugin manager to install ProjectViewer and SQL (among others).

I note that in a project's properties, I can define servers including Password and Username. (I'm using a DB2 database, ODBC appears to be the only available SQL server type).

I can't seem to find a mechanism to enter the password only when connection is attempted. I don't wish to leave my password, or username for that matter, in the definition of the server. I'd like a situation such that when I try to make a connection, I am asked for the password, or username/password.

Can I do this? And, if so, how?

TIA
Plugins menu - flat view - alphabetical submenus
Submitted by mixmax0707 on Tuesday, 6 December, 2005 - 19:26
I would like to have a flat plugins menu without A-M and N-Z submenus. Is it possible?

If not, then is it possible to have a few plugins of my choice in the main plugins menu und the rest in letter submenus of the plugins menu?

Wish you a nice day

Problem with Console Plugin and stdin
Submitted by LordKelvan on Wednesday, 7 December, 2005 - 05:26
Hi, I have the latest version of the Console plugin (4.1.2). After reading some posts in this forum, it seems that versions of the plugin after 4.1 should support stdin (i.e. it allows for user keyboard input when running c programs). However, when I try to run a simple C program which asks the user a few questions in the System Shell of the Console plugin, it doesn't work properly. What happens is the cursor moves to the next line, and just stays there. I have to type something and hit enter before anything happens. Then the message "Press any key to continue" appears. After I press enter, the message "Press any key to continue" appears again, along with all the printf's contained in my program, with the scanf's bypassed (even though I never typed in anything). My program is very simple, and runs properly in the regular Windows shell. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong with regards to the Console plugin. Do I have to set it up in some special way to allow for keyboard input?
Launching the native Windows Command Prompt
Submitted by LordKelvan on Wednesday, 7 December, 2005 - 05:30
Hi all,

I was wondering if there was any way to actually launch the Windows command prompt, and pass it parameters? I tried something like running cmd.exe from the System Shell of the Console plugin, but all that did was run the command prompt INSIDE the System Shell, not actually launch it (like some other editors, such as Crimson Editor, are capable of doing). Does anyone know how to do this properly (or just in general launch external applications from inside jEdit)?

Saving Folds From Session to Session
Submitted by Aristoi on Wednesday, 7 December, 2005 - 16:08
Hello,

Is there any way (with plugins or whatever) to save the closed folds after you close and reload? I've tried the build in support plus the Configurable Fold Handler but have not managed to get it to work.

Thanks.
File System Browser Is Very Thin
Submitted by machineghost on Wednesday, 7 December, 2005 - 19:28
Whenever I open a new File System Browser dialog box, it always starts out being only wide enough to fit the "Commands" drop-down box, which makes it unusable. I can just resize the dialog box every time, but that's getting annoying fast, so is there any way to make it open at a normal size?

Create new mode
Submitted by rognaj on Friday, 9 December, 2005 - 09:47
I have a problem with creating new mode - no syntax highlighitng! I create new mode and have a problem. OK, I (probbably) made error when creating new one. Then create new in next steps: 1. Copy existing mode (pascal.xml) to new (newmode.xml) 2. In catalog file added Try to use this new mode but without syntax higlighting? And yes, I select Buffer option/Edit mode: NEWMODE! Why syntax highlighiting doesn't work? Please help, Misko

TigerBrowser, yet another Java code browser, supports Java 1.5 (JBrowse.jar v1.0 by Dale Anson)
Submitted by daleanson on Thursday, 15 December, 2005 - 17:28
TigerBrowser is yet another Java source code browser. It's named "TigerBrowser" after Sun's code name for Java 1.5. Java 1.5 introduced new language syntax that isn't supported (yet) by the existing Java code browser plugins. This is a "simple" browser, there are no options, it only parses Java files, and there aren't any nice icons to help tell what's what. On the other hand, the code parsing is excellent (it's based on the reference Java 1.5 grammar for javacc) and supports all Java 1.5 and earlier syntax.
  • 18 Dec 2005: I've updated the link to the download, the new file is my first attempt to make TigerBrowser be a JBrowse replacement.
  • 20 Dec 2005: I've updated the link again, this is the "final" version of JBrowse using the TigerParser. Assuming no one finds any glaring bugs, this is the version that will be in the next plugin release.
range selection with mouse broke
Submitted by McSwell on Friday, 16 December, 2005 - 21:39
After switching computers, range selection with my mouse has stopped working in jEdit. That is, I click and drag the mouse, but it no longer selects anything. Rather, the carat stays where it was.

Range selection still works in all the other apps I try. Double clicking in jEdit selects a word (and triple clicking selects the line), and shift-cursor keys still select. It's just range selection with the mouse that seems to have stopped working. (And it isn't a case of the mouse buttons somehow having gotten swapped, either.)

Has anyone else run into this sort of thing?

Version = 4.2 final.
