How difficult would it be to add a toggle option to invert the shift/non-shift action? For quickly reviewing a file, I'd rather not have to reach for the keyboard to scroll text a screen at a time, or have to remember that jEdit will be doing something different from every other application I have installed. Equally, there are times when using a modifer key to scroll a few lines would be useful.

Thanks for reading.

I've just started using jEdit in the past couple of weeks. I had been using a combination of SubEthaEdit and Fugu under Mac OS X. When I needed a good, free editor that worked well for editing Python and had code-folding, I tried jEdit. Using the FTP plugin, I've been able to edit files on servers over an SFTP connection.

I've started using more and more plugins with jEdit as I find that they offer good features. One of the disappointing things though is that plugins like XSLT, Project Viewer, QuickNotepad, and others aren't able to work with files through the FTP plugin. I suspect that the reason for this is that these plugins try to open files in the filesystem directly. They don't know how to handle these SFTP URLs.

I wonder if these other plugins would be able to work with files through an SFTP connection if all of their file operations went through the jEdit API. Does jEdit offer functions for working with files? Would that allow working with files via SFTP?

What I've been unable to do with jEdit so far is to have two or more views open, each with an independent set of open files. Is this currently possible in jEdit? If not, could it be? I would like to have one window with open files A, B, and C, and a second window with files X, Y, and Z.

Good evening. I'm a Xedit user at work losing my favorite editor with the elimination of Unix as the prime operating system. One of Xedit's features I use most often is the "All" command which allows one to display a just a specific set of lines eligible for editting based on a repeating target. Those lines not meeting the display requirements are excluded from the display. Once editting is complete the full file can be redisplayed with the editting changes incorporated. Does jEdit have (or can it be easily configured to have) a similar functionality. If so, I think I've found a new favorite editor. Thanks!

Hi folks,
There is a rails plugin [1] that convert errors to a url that can be opened by textmate.
Here is the main point:
html = "#{line}"
Is there a way for us to do something like this?

Thanks in advance,
- H


[1] code extracted from the plugin
def add_links_to_backtrace(lines)
lines.collect do |line|
expanded = line.gsub '#{RAILS_ROOT}', RAILS_ROOT
if match = expanded.match(/^(.+):(\d+):in/) or match = expanded.match(/^(.+):(\d+)\s*$/)
file = File.expand_path(match[1])
line_number = match[2]
html = "#{line}"
else
line
end
end
end

Running a beanshell script I got an error at the following expression, because the method "format" is not found:

java.lang.String.format("%d", 1234)

In a java sourcefile it works fine.
==> What's on with the beanshell?

SuperAbbrevs is a plugin that has functionality similar to Textmate's and Eclipse's to paste a template with placeholders that you can tab through. Textmate supplies a lot of nice defaults.

Textmate is OS X only, so I wrote a command line Cocoa tool to convert binary plists to xml plists, which I then batch run against the snippet files I want.

Then I modified SuperAbbrevs to have an import option, which takes a directory and imports all .xml or .plist files it finds there, converting $0 endings to $end endings.

If anyone would like to polish this into something more end-user usable, I'd be happy to email the code. For my purposes it has already consumed far more time than I wanted.

is there some way to set the plugin to keep the connection alive (sending NOOP)? i couldnt find it. does some later version support this (using 4.2stable)?

thnx

problem with identifying these variable names as variable names. Mistaken for logical operators:

$or
$and

Example:

$or = new Order($id);

Error message: statement expected

Hi everybody here in the forum , is ti true that on windows the no commandline options except filenames are possible ? I whant to open a file with "jedit +line: but without success. In the help i found the following statement: "If you are using jEditLauncher to start jEdit on Windows, only file names can be specified on the command line" Is that really true or is there another possibility to set a marker on the commandline ? Thanks in advance Martin

I am using jEdit to write AutoHotKey scripts. Subroutines have the following format...

[code]
SubRoutineName:
__Commands
Return
[/code]

("Commands" should have been indented, but it didn't preview that way, so I inserted a couple of underscores to fake it.)
How can I make jEdit indent after I type a subroutine name and then the colon, rather than having to indent myself?
It does it with braces {}, so I figure I can make it do it after a colon, too.

Can anyone help?

Greetings,

I am a longtime jEdit fan, and I recently decided to move from 4.2 to 4.3pre3. Today I needed to look at some Java code that I did not have the source files for, and found that it would not work. I used the "Archive" plugin to browse a jar file, and "JavaInsight" to do a jode-decompile. This latter operation errored out. I had prviously updated all of the plugins that needed to be upgraded, but Archive and JavaInsight were not on the list. Details are included below. Thanks!

It would be very helpful to be able to click on a line number, including dragging, to select a field of text. Currently I'm unable to do that and it takes extra time to drag and select a single line of text.

One of my macros saves open buffers, but it pops up an error message anytime it tries to save a file that is in use by another process, and I'd like to avoid that error message, by not trying to say that particular buffer. Is there a way to check a buffer and see if it is being used by another process?
