I found this mad program. There is this also on German

Hi all,

I've been using jEdit as my primary editor for several months now, and generally am very happy with it. One thing I've noticed is that jEdit seems to consume more and more memory over time, even when the app sits idle for extended periods. I know you can quickly release memory by double-clicking the usage report in the status bar, but is there something I can do to avoid some of that? Or are there debugging techniques that I could use to determine if it is from certain plugins, for instance?

Thanks for any advice!

There seems no way to "properly" uninstall.

Win2k
jEdit 4.3pre5
Java Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_07-b03)

Nothing in add/remove
no uninstall files i can find
nothing in start programs

Do I just delete the entire folder?

Thanks for the help.

1. What plugin should I install for HTML tag paring - I heard it's possible in Jedit. eg, finding open and closing html tags in a 1000's of lines of spaghetti code.

2. Looking a way to toogle line wrapping on/off? Most editors have something in the toolbar that will do this.

3. Is there a way to make .php use arial font and .html files to use new courier font? ie. Customize via file extension?

4. Sorry, I don't see a spell checker. Is there one for english?

5. I don't see old fashion fonts like courier - is this available?

Thank you!

I'm looking for a way to see spaces, tabs, end of lines.

Most editors have a toggle toolbar button or key sequence that will show spaces as dots for example. Very handy to format and line things up on a page.

I don't see the command for this in Jedit.

Note I tried the plugin "Whitespace" but it must be broken - cause it seems to do nothing(?) Show spaces has no effect.

Also I set the the faint blue wrap guide line to not show in the global options - but when I restart jedit the change is not saved and it shows up again. Also is there a way to toogle this line on/off from the toolbar?

Thanks

Hi All ! I am new to jEdit and try to organize my work around it now. While writing a library for the XInsert plugin - to be used with VBScript - I got a strange problem. The statement: if( (filename.lastIndexOf(".") != 0) && (filename.lastIndexOf(".") > firstPos) ) { .... } could not be parsed and the library was out of order and unusable. This seems to be the fact, because XInsert expects xml !!! <item name="TransformFromVBStoWSF" type="xinsert_script"> {@ ... XInsert expects xml here!!! } </item> The workaround I used, was to include the script/macro part into another CDATA section: <item name="TransformFromVBStoWSF" type="xinsert_script"> <![CDATA[ my inital text here, also xml and must be escaped ]]> <![CDATA[ {@ .... the macro statement will now left as is and works fine } ]]> </item> This prevents the xml-parser to interpret the macro code and everything is ok. I found no better docs and discovered it this way. May be, this helps others too. Any other solution is very welcome.

Best regards,
Manfred

Hello,

Anyone gets the same message as I do?
I have been using the keys with putty for years without any problem. I dont understand why the key is not supported.

The key is generated using PUTTY parameters : SSH-2 RSA 1024 bits

Otherwise the sftp plugin works fine if I use password authentication

Older versions of jedit had this functionality. You could set the default encoding for different modes, but it was changed to a global setting.

Hi, I have tried to find these answers in the docs w/no luck - if you tell me specifically were an answer is in the docs that would be great or just tell me quickly here how. Thanks. Again thank you - I am trying to config JEdit - I want this as my "goto" editor.

1. How do I toogle the wrap guide on/off? Specifically how - there should be a way. Is the action bar the only way? Please cite how - just this one time for me w/the action bar - another way w/out going into the global config?

2.Right now I use-control the added plugins functionalies from a plugin drop down menu were i have to drill down deep w/the mouse. It's very unwieldy - I want either toggle buttons and/or to add key combo or sometrhing so I could record the actions - I guess I could add it to a marcro and then have a toogle button. How? The drop down menu is "killing" me.

3. The plugin settings are *not* saved when I shut down Jedit - eg. I check that i want buffer tabs (the buffer tab plugin). But when I restartup the changes are not saved - I have to go in to this drop down and reconfig everything - I need a way to save and easily toogle (as I cite above) plugin options and any other changes I make. Same thing - I make want the show whitesapce set my way every time I start - but my previous settings are never saved.

Thank You again,
Lee

Hello,

in the ongoing process to adapt all my work the JEdit
I am also finding some limits though. For example, I'll just execute a buffer with a script engine and the console plug-in does this. But I would like to control, if a COMMAND uses a buffer via TO_BUFFER or just outputs into the console itself.

Is there any way to modify the running buffers properties from the running script?

I just tried:

this.toBuffer = true;

but - even this don't raise any errors - it just does not work. Providing the GUI for this is easy.
Any help would be great!

Thanks so far and best regards,

Manfred

i use jedit for 2 years, and everytime i download the jedit, installing the ftp plugin is always a problem. why it that. i try a few minor already. i think i try everything that north america minor offer. i do not understand why it is so hard to install the ftp plugin after jedit is installed.

can anyone help. i try 10 times already. everytime i download the jedit, this is always the problem?????

I record a marcro and it works OK in the macro drop down menu. I then go to global options, toolbar were I can make a button for the marco - exactly what I need - therefore any action I need can be a toogle button. I usually find a gif I convert to a png button graphic and I have a dsitinct button.

BUT, when I close jedit and reopen it the new buttons are gone. Please help.

Thanks

Hi,

I have been using Jedit as a latex editor for a while. In the latest upgrade of latex tools there is an autocomplete function. I dont like the way this works, for example when typing \item in a document i get a popup saying "no completion". This blocks the keyboard. How can I turn this feature off?

Many thanks,

Olly

As a long time programmer, a high quality text editor is crucial to what I do. I use heaver IDE's (Visual Studio, Eclipse, NetBeans) for a lot of my work, but for various SQL, scripting languages, and file searching, and text file processing, I use a separate dedicated text editor. I've been a long time user of EditPlus and am just now switching over to jEdit.

Overall, I'm very impressed with jEdit. I thought it would be unlikely to beat EditPlus and this did it. However, I'd like to share my thoughts and suggestions.

Pros:
- Cross Platform: Huge advantage. EditPlus is Windows only. jEdit runs on all Java platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris) so I can easily move between platforms.
- Free: I don't mind sending in a donation for a program I use so much, but it's so nice to not need to worry about licensing every copy I install
- Better Plug-in/Scripting/Macro support. By far. Excellent thus far.
- Awesome syntax highlighting for several languages (Java + SQL)

Cons:
- HyperSearch: I like EditPlus's setup much better. I wish the HyperSearch could be displayed in a pane in the main jEdit window rather than in a separate window. I also wish it displayed results as it found them rather than making you wait until the entire search is complete before showing you anything.
- Search/Replace: Regex support is buggy (didn't have time to boil down to simple cast and post, but I saw definite bugs). No multi-line Regex option. How do I replace \n\n with \n (eliminate blank lines)?
- No built-in sort/dedupe. Didn't see a plugin either. Maybe I missed this? This is crucial for a text editor.
- No "column selection". Did I miss this? Very important feature.
- No ability to set "type" of unsaved buffer. Sometimes I typing SQL into a buffer that I don't want to save, but I want syntax highlighting.
- No keyboard shortcut to enable/disable soft word-wrap. I frequently need to turn this on/off. I hate having to navigate the menus to do this.
- Name. I love Java, but this is product really excels as a general purpose text editor rather than a Java specific tool. Couldn't this use a less Java-centric name? Most .NET coworkers would love this tool but be turned off by the name.

Hi,

I use jEdit 4.2 Final and I have abbreviations set-up to auto expand when I press spacebar, but using this setting an abbreviation is expanded in a comment too, is it possible to not autoexpand an abbrev in a comment?

Thanks,

I want to install dotcomplete on jedit 4.3pre. This depends on anthelper which in turn depends on version 1.4>> of jbrowse.

No worries ... I installed all these plugins and jedit comes back with error saying "anthelper needs 1.4>> version of jbrowse - but it is not installed!!

Hmm - jbrowse 1.5 (which a normal person would believe is greater than version 1.4) is installed in the jars folder and is visible in plugin manager (which again a normal person would suggest it physically exists)- so what the hell is jedit doing??

an example of 9 years project maturity??? ... I dont think so!!
