Mode specific context menu. Is it cool?

How do I define meta key combinations with mouse clicks?
I want to define ctrl-left_mouse as 'delete word', but the gui shortcut editor doesn't allow such wonderful things. Do I need to directly edit a config file?

Mitch

Dear list members,

I'm a newcomer on jEdit plugins, though I've been using jEdit for a couple of years now and I think it's just awesome.
I use a statistical software called R and I write the code in jEdit.
R runs fine in a console (I use a Linux box), and I'd very much like to use the Console plugin to run R commands from within jEdit.

Only... I just don't know how to do this.
Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Adrian

I have been searching the archives and cannot find an answer to my question. I want to know if I can search a file and find all blank lines and replace with a text character? Then I want to be able to search all files in a directory and do the same. Is there a specific plugin I can use? Anyone have a Macro? I cannot believe that this has not already come up

Thanks,

Jery

I had an error when trying to download the latest plugin file "Common Controls" from the mirror "MESH-Solutions (Duesseldorf, Germany)". It worked with another mirror, so maybe you want to check the integrity of this file.

Hi all, here are some issues I would like jEdit to consider:

-jEdit should remember if the "Line Numbers" panel (the panel to the left which shows the lines number) was showing last time it was running. The Line Numbers panel disappears each time jEdit is restarted or it's highlighting options have been changed.
-By double clicking the title bar of some (windowsXP) window it gets smaller, jEdit does so unless it has been:
1. previously minimized to a smaller window during the same session
2. resized to maximized state.
After closing jEdit it forgets this setting, this way after opening jEdit one has to reproduce to two steps above to make jEdit have a similar behaviour of an *usual* windows(XP) window.

This is it. If I could I would do it myself. Hope somebody to implement these features in a new version of jEdit

I have been using jEdit for years now, and the single most serious and enduring frustration I have had with it is line spacing. I find it very difficult to read text or code in any font other than Courier New. Could the development team please consider adding an option for controlling the amount of space between text lines?

After upgrading to 4.3pre4 I am missing the Structure scope indicator in the gutter. The corresponding setting is activated. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? I'm running jEdit on Windows XP and Java 1.5.0_06.

I have been using jEdit for some time, but have recently been working on a project that requires the use of the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE, which by default utilises it's own (somewhat limited by comparison) text editor.
Is there any way that I can hook jEdit into this IDE?
I appreciate that this may be an inappropate location for this post, but I'm hoping that someone in this community has had this experience and can point me in the direction of a solution

Thanks,
Paul

Hello everybody,

I started to use jEdit about 3 months ago w/ windows. and i just love it... I tried to install it on my debian laptop but i got some error message during the installation and since that laptop is my "experiment" laptop I installed Ubuntu 6.06...

so finally, jEdit is up on my computer but it won't start... and when I try to launch it through command line, i get a nesty message saying:

GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!
Exception in thread "main" GC Warning: Out of Memory! Returning NIL!
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.gjt.sp.jedit.jEdit
*** Got java.lang.OutOfMemoryError while trying to print stack trace.

Do you guys know what it is???

thanks

yip, never type your entire post into the form itself.
some bull will always happen.

Lets try this again

I've been desperately trying to find a GOOD text editor that will run in windows for many months now. I tried jedit some time last year and after trying many MANY apps over the last two months I'm back to jEdit. It is in may ways a bit better than the rest but there are still a few features that are either not there or I can't seem to find. Not having these features makes trying to work outside of BBEdit a time consuming nightmare for me.
Maybe someone here can help me find them or let me know they don't exist in jedit.


#1 \r and \t

Lets say I have a number of spaces that I want to turn into tabs. 
In bbedit I can represent a tab character with \t. Find my spaces. Replace with \t\t.
It's similar with new lines. Find all \r\r and replace with just one \r until the number of empty lines is to my liking.

Yes I know theres a macro that will convert all spaces to tabs and vice versa. But what if I don't wan that to happen to the entire file, what if I have a specific reason to have a certain number of spaces or a certain number of tabs and it's only important to section of the file and not the whole thing.

so is there a character i can put into jedits find/replace that will match the newline character? or tab character instead of literally pressing tab then copying and pasting!?!?



#2 (?s) multiple line regular expressions
For example:
<p>doodie</p>

<p>
mulligan
</p>

<p> piggums </p>

This expression: <p>.*?</p> will match the doodie and piggums paragraphs...but not mulligan.
In some programming languages and other applications like BBEdit I can specify flags that modify the way regular expressions work. If start my expression with (?s) it will make the expression match all three. This comes in very very handy for me all the bloody time.



#3 - multiple line search text fields
Example: lets say I need to batch find/replace the following over many files
$user='something';
$pass='else';
But other parts of many files have variables named $user and $pass.
I do know for sure that the original programmer always has just these two lines one after the other and other usage of $user and $pass tend to be mixed in with other code or have something betwen them.

if I could past both lines into the search box it would greatly reduce the chances of matching something I don't want it to match.
Actually if I could just use \r to indicate a new line in the single line text field that would be just as good.


Even with many months (off and on) of jEdit use under my belt I still spent over 20 minutes the other night cleaning up 1 afwul html file that was sent to me and long before finishing I gave up. It was easier to wait until I got to work and clean up all 4 of them in under 10 minutes using BBEDIT and the very simple features I described above.

Yes I know i could have used jtidy but I have very strong preferences as to how I want MY html files to look which make them EASIEST for ME to read. Jtidy doesn't do ME.
It always ads the html, head, body etc... tags that I am already using includes to bring in, so its just more stuff I have to double check to remove.

And how to I turn off this html autocomplete?

is there a plug in that makes it so any time i type in one paired character it will automatically close it
< >
{ }
[ ]
( )

No I don't need somthing to automatically close html tags! Just these characters.

thats it.
just clicking line numbers to select the line.

I love jEdit - have tried it on Windows, Linux, and Mac (Windows / Mac at work, Windows / Linux at home). On my windows machine, jEdit now freezes when I go to 'File|Open' or use 'CTRL+o'. Doing a right click on a file and opening from the menu works though. Two questions - anyone run into this and found a fix? And if not, what is the most useful information I can provide (and how) so I'm not just saying 'hey, it doesn't work when I do this' but providing something useful?

Thanks!

Like in dreamweaver 8, can we have (or is it already possible) a shortcut key / button which will open up the directory in which the file that you are currently editing resides in the platforms file explorer, e.g. nautilus, windows explorer etc and can the file explorer be configurable.

in the jedit 4.1 documentation there is listed a default macro called Toggle_Line_Comment.bsh, this doesn't seem to appear in 4.2 and above. does it still exist somewhere, and if so can i get hold of it?

cheers
andy.
