How do I delete the leftmost column, 1 character wide, from selected lines? I often need to strip ">" quote marks from messages forwarded to me. In bbedit, I use "decrease quote level". Thanks.

I've been using Arachnophilia for years as my primary IDE for web development. I love the way it's toolbars, macros, and menus are totally configurable.

However, I'm developing a tag/function completion tool that will work in any text editor, so I don't need my custom-built Arachnophilia menus and toolbars as much any more. And I'm wondering if there's another editor out there that will serve me better.

Is there any kind of site upload tool/plugin for jEdit? Something that will detect all changed files in a directory structure and upload them to the correct location on the site.

Whenever I try to load JavaDebugger (v1.4) it keeps on coming up with an error saying that I need to install JDK 1.3 or later but I have JDK 1.5 on my computer and I thought I had set the JavaDebugger up correctly so does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong? I have tried deleting and reinstalling both the Javacore and JavaDebugger plugins with no success.
Thanks

I'm using Schema for my XML elements and DTD entities for a number of international characters and words. The problem is that jEdit can only validate if I use one or the other and detects hundreds of errors if I use both, making me turn validation off so I can get it at least to check for well-formedness. The strange thing is that XML Insert continues to suggest the correct elements (but not entities--it can only work from either the Schema or the DTD but not both). In other words, the validator sees the DTD and XML Insert sees the Schema. Is there a way to get jEdit to use both the DTD and the Schema? This is the only thing keeping me from using jEdit as my principal XML editor. Thanks!

Is there a way to make jEdit stop on underscores (_) when one uses Ctrl-Arrow (left or right)?

Whenever I attempt to download a new plugin, jEdit displays the following error message:

an i/o error occurred(no route to host: connect)

Before posting here, I tried to search for similar problems in the forum. The only message I found included a suggestion to configure jEdit to use a proxy, if the user was using a proxy. But I am not, so I am hoping someone has some other advice.

I can see the list of plugins, so it seems to me that I am able to connect to some list on a server somewhere. The progress bar runs to approx 50% and then displays the error message.

Thanks in advance.

This may be a setting I need to find, but could anyone enlighten me? I can open a unicode file on Windows (little-endian, saved as an export from regedit.exe). When I save the file it seems to shift it to big-endian. This makes it incompatible with regedit for importing purposes.

Is there any way I can get jEdit to keep the endian-ness or at least tell it which way I prefer the file to be saved?

I'm using 4.2final.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm using 4.3pre 3 (4.3pre 2 has the same behavior, none other tested) on SUSE10.0. While typing in system, all is OK. In JEDIT I can't write character $.
Trying to define new keyboard shortcut nothing appears after typing AltGr + key.
Have Czech keyboard, where needed key is neat key L; so keys are from left to right:
JKL$
This is JKL; on us keyboard (all letters are capitalized - to prevent confusion letter l and number 1)
On czech keyboard us key ; is mapped onto UNICODE 01F6 - LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH RING ABOVE ( http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0100.pdf )
It seems, that only this key is eated by JEDIT ???????????

Thanks Mike

Hello!

I searched in the forum and looked through the options of jEdit, but i couldn't find an option in jEdit to select a path where it stores it's [filename]~-tempfiles.
Did i just missed the option or should i post this in the feature-requests forum?

I am looking for a "goToLine"-function, which does not open the "Go To Line"-Dialog. Is such a function available?

Hi all, I want the highlighter-plugin to be disabled after jEdit's startup because it slow's down jEdit. Unfortunately the plugin doesn't remembers it's On/Off-status. That's why I took the following macro in the startup directory to disable highlighter:

gatchan.highlight.HighlightPlugin.disableHighlights();
Log.log(Log.MESSAGE,scriptPath,"Startup_2.bsh: Highlighter disabled");

The macro seems to do it's work at startup (no error, a message in activity.log), but when jEdit is started completely, the highlighter is enabled!
What to do?

Apologies is this has been answered elsewhere - googling and searching this site I'm yet to find a solution.

Is it possible to get jEdit to have its menus in the OS X menu bar in OS X 10.4 using Java5 with the universtal installer of jEdit - ie so I can run pre builds etc ... I've tried using the jEdit.app launcher from 4.2 final, also tried the jEditMenuFixer.app.

Anyone been able to get this to work?

I get the error message below from the console when I try to compile a buffer. I can't find a way of telling jEdit where javac is! I'm sure it's very funny if you know where but please help I've wasted hours looking on the forums for advice. Plugins > Console > Commando... Doesn't have a drop down list as descibed in one forum answer I read.

I have jEdit 4.2final and jdk 1.5.0 update 2
I can't believe I can't just tell jEdit where to find javac wherever it may be in my filing system. Help, please!

Has anyone done anything in the direction of Brief emulation ?
A plugin or a compete list of keyboard shortcuts ?

Another problem I have is that I cant find the buttons for BACK_QUOTE, OPEN_BRACKET and CLOSE_BRACKET ! I'm using a norwegian keyboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
After a few hours of jEdit experimenting I'm almost sure that this will be my new text editor of choice !

Hey Guys,

I'm having some problems getting the JMail plugin to work. I go through and set all my account settings, and get the following error:

Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port 25; nested exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.

At first I'm thinking that it's something to do with a firewall in the background, so I try changing the port to say, 20 (it's 25 by default). However it still looks like it's trying to connect to "localhost" which doesn't make any sense. My email settings have a different port and host, yet they for some reason aren't being used.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I am pleased to invite everybody at http://jedit.ru - russian site devoted to jEdit.

How would I use jEdit to run a file I'm working on?

I found the InfoViewer plug-in, which launches web-type files in external browsers. That's good for the web-type files. But what about for other kinds of files?

I am constantly working on AutoHotKey scripts and then wanting to run them to see the changes I've made. Right now, I have to make a change, then flip back to the Windows Explorer file window and double-click the file to run it to see the changes I just made.

I'm sure there's a way to do this in jEdit. I've searched the help and this forum, but found nothing. Thanks for any help.
