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?

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.

JEdit + Console + ProjectViewer + Ant Farm =

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

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

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?

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)?

Just installed the application with the following plugins: - CSS Editor - ErrorList - JTidy - Latest version check - PHPParserPlugin - QuickNotepad - Sidekick - XML I just cannot get autocompletion to work when I am creating a PHP document. I press but nothing happens. OK something happens: - I type - Instead of an autocompletion list, I get a [backspace] action: , I get a blank document. Please help

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.

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?

It's killing me! Every time a new dialog window is spawned, it appears BEHIND the main view window. Very annoying! lol I searched through forums and google and found nada.

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

Currently, I have a lot of option in Character encoding:

ISO-8859-XX
UTF-XX
Windows-XXXX
...

But, old DOS CP 852 is missing.

How to create new one or where to get it?

Regards,
Misko

How do you determine the current edit mode within a macro ?

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.
