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

Is there any option/Plugin for Folding of VHDL files ?
like folding brackets, and folding process ...
thanks

Hi,

Does anyone know of a plugin/macro to automatically print every open buffer?

Thanks

I have Mandriva 20066 and I instaled Jedit via "urpmI jedit".

but when I try to open it, I get the fllowing error:

$ jedit

What's wrong?

I have Mandriva 20066 and I instaled Jedit via "urpmI jedit"

Because, I didn't able to open it, I try to install jedit42install.jar
with java jedit42install.jar

but I get the following error:

$ java jedit42install.jar
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jedit42install.jar not found in java.lang.ClassLoader$1{urls=[file:/home/user/tmp/./], parent=null}
caused by:

What's wrong?

When I use the "save as" feature, the editor does not "warn" me in case I choose a file name already exists. I would like to be warned in such case because it happens (not so seldom...) that someone, distracted by a colleague, overwrites the wrong file (thinking he's really saving the file using a *new* name).

Do you think it may be useful?
Many thanks!

I am using this one-line macro to run a program in the system shell:

runInSystemShell(view,"C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\mspaint.exe");

This works fine, but when I have run and closed the program I am left with a jEdit window containing the Console which I have to close manually. Can someone show me how to add a line to my macro to close that Console window? Thanks.

How do you run jedit with garbage collection happening concurrently?

When jedit is starting up and loading a bunch of files from a previous session, the memory bloats up quite a bit, much of which is just waste as it is just stray objects as can be seen after the next manual collection run. I wanted to prevent that by having the garbage collector run simultaneously.

There's supposed to be a certain percentage performance hit, which is no big deal for an editor.

I tried
java -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit 4.2\jedit.jar"

It seems a little better, but when I click the garbage collection button, multi-megabytes of heap are still recovered, which I don't think should be the case if the collector is continuously running.

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure whether to file this under using Jedit, bugs, or plugin features. Is there a way to make jEdit recognize both DTD and a schema in the same document?

I've been unable to make the move to jEdit as my main XML editor because all my XML files are associated with both a DTD defining multi-lingual entities and schemas to define structure. When I use jEdit, I have to comment out the DTD if I want it to help me with elements and then turn off validation if I want it to help me out with entities. The strange thing is that XML Insert happily suggests the possible elements while the main window underlines everything in red and says no elements are defined.

I'd be very happy if I could figure out how to make this work. Thanks!

When I scroll up and down in any text field in the online help system or in any dropdown list in any dialog box, the displayed text gets corrupted, with only part of the display being updated and part of the old text remaining in place as though the text scroll never happened. This usually happens only when using up/down arrow keys or the mouse wheel to scroll the text one line at a time; pressing pgup/pgdwn to scroll works right, and will even unscramble the display after one-line-at-a-time scrolling has scrambled it. Is this a jedit bug or a java bug? How do I fix this?
Running on w2k using Sun's j2se 5.0 update 6 and jedit 4.2 final.
