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.

In a multi monitor enviroment jEdit have some problems with the window management.

Hi all,

I've been an avid jEdit user for a number of years now and always look forward to new versions and plugins. However, I haven't seen any new jEdit versions for some time now, and wondering if development is still ongoing?

Thanks,
Paul

Dear all,

I use a nice MSWin app called Allchars (http://allchars.zwolnet.com/) that allows me to type all kinds of accented and special characters using my qwerty keyboard and CTRL+keys sequences. In fact, I couldn't work without it.

Before that, I was using the "Accents" Jedit plugin to type those characters. It was great, but it was a bit painful to cut and paste text from jedit to other apps (mail client, web browser, etc.) all the time.

However, there is a serious drawback to the use of Allchars when using Jedit. In fact, having both Allchars and Jedit running can cause serious MSWin crashes. (I mean, complete crash and reboot of the system.)

I have no clue why Jedit conflicts with Allchars so badly. (NB: the "Accents" plugin is not enabled when crashes occur.) I guess that there might be something related to CTRL+keys sequences since both Allchars and Jedit are using them to issue commands.

Since Jedit is the only app I know that conflicts with Allchars (I am using Mozilla apps and OpenOffice without problem, and they have lots of CTRL+keys sequences) I was wondering if this conflict could be the symptom of a hidden bug or design problem in Jedit?

In any case, I thank you in advance for your help.

David.

When in Rectangle mode , if I try to use Vertical input ( typing the same text to a couple of line vertically)
I cant use TAB , it only puts one vertical TAb and then exits the Vertical mode?
Any suggestions?

Right now, there seem not to be a way to view a value of a Date variable. Or have I missed it? Are there plans to add this feature?

If jEdit supported regular expression variable-length indentation 'brackets', then xml indenting could be supported natively, like so:

<PROPERTY NAME="lineOpeningBrackets" VALUE="&lt;[[:alphanum:]]+&gt;" />
<PROPERTY NAME="lineClosingBrackets" VALUE="&lt;[[:alphanum:]]+&gt;" />

Multiple brackets could be attained via the (bracket1|bracket2|...) clause in regular expressions.

Not only xml/html indenting, but all those edit modes with limited or no indentation support could finally support indentation correctly.

For making annoying ASCII-Formats (without enough whitespaces in it) easier to read I want to colorize different columns with different colors (i.e. columns 1-10 = yellow, columns 11-20 = red, and so on).

Does have anyone an idea to realize that?

Thanks
Robert

Is it possible to have jedit do something like pycrust or SPE, where typing...


import os
os.


would pop up a dialogue with a list of methods and properties (preferably including doc strings) from the object/module preceding '.'?

If so, what would be required to set this up?

I've combed through the forums and search and I am not certain if this is documented, or can even be done.

I work a lot with ant scripts and many are not named build.xml. I am looking for a way to reference xml files other then build.xml as ant file. Is this possible, and if so how?

Thanks!

Text insertion before a number on 10,000 text lines possible?

I figure it could be possible to do it with a macro or action script of sorts however one would need to start from the last line forward as the text inserted will need to be 3 lines or more itself and that would make the line seeking not work properly if started from the beginning.. Below is example of what I am trying to achieve..

111111
222222
333333
444444
555555

turned into this 10,000 times automated in a batch file?

Please post a reply as what application I should be using if any you know of out there?

below is what the end 10,000 lines turned into 40,000 should look like...

SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 111111
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 222222
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 333333
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 444444
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT
SAME TEXT SAME TEXT 555555

If you think I will have do this by hand please also post a reply.. Thanks for reading this.. 2 word comments are fine.. Cheers

I have installed aspell, the dictionary for my language and the spell check plugin. In the configuration options I entered the path to aspell.exe. But when I try to spell check it gives me an error window saying:
Cannot check selection:
Error (Aspell) is: Cannot access aspell process: Se esta cerrando la canalizacion (last part is something like piping is being closed).

I have looked in google and looked other threads at this forum and still can't make it work. Any idea??

thanks

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to regular expressions, but I have used jEdit for soem time now. I have search online (google) and also around these forums. So far I haven't found any information for what I am looking for. Perhaps it is my lack of experience with RE if so please forgive my ignorance.

I would like to be able to run regular expressions in jEdit as whole expressions, for example. presently to do a complex find and replace I have to type regular expression argument in the search box, And then place a value in the replace box. The problem with this is that I can't use parenthesis () to back-reference a previously reference string.

Programatical example:

s/(<h2>[^<]*./h2>)/<div>\1<p></p></div>/g

Search for <h2> and any thing in between this and it's close tag to replaced and included as e.g.
find: <h2>Title here</h2>
and replace with: <div><h2>Title here</h2><p></p></div>

regardless of the value for the content between the <h2> and </h2> strings.

I realize that I can use a macro to complete what I am attempting with RE but that defeats my main purpose of learning RE by experimentation.

Thanks Aaron

Please assist - I am eager to use JEdit but I will never be able to get into it if I can't get the color coding 'the way I like it'...yes, this is probably one of my more important requirements strange as that seems...

But I do not understand how this works in Jedit. Is there a way to set it up so that it can color code my HTML tags one way, my javascript another way (with the entire script in a specific background color) and my JSP another way (with each scriptlet block in another background color) ?

The idea being that, more than color coding attributes and specific details like that, I am interested in breaking out a JSP file so that all blocks of HTML,JAVASCRIPT and JSP have different background colors throughout the whole block so you can easily see what language you are in .

I currently use homesite because it gives me the customization to do just this and I am dying to try jedit but I have no idea if such color coding is possible

Thanks a lot


John
