Ok, I'm brand new to jEdit as of about an hour ago. I'd like to set my file associations, but cannot find the option to do that. Now, it may be staring me in the face, or maybe somewhere, perhaps obvious on this site, BUT, I can't find it... My eyeballs are getting shorter in my old age. Can someone please help me out here ??? (With the file associations that is.. lol)

I'm using jEdit 4.2final on Windows XP Pro. I have been using it for awhile now and yesterday, 09/18/2006, I encountered this situation. I clicked on File/Open and the main window loses focus but I don't see the Open Dialog on either of my two monitors. When I bring up Task Manager all I see is the main jEdit app running. If I hit Escape the main window receives focus and I can click on all other menu items with no problem. If I open the Processes tab, all I see is the jEdit process running, nothing else related. If I try to stop jEdit I see this message:

"The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you"

It looks to me like the jEdit app thinks the Open Dialog window is loaded. I'm thinking the dialog has been opened behind the main app but I can't figure out how to make it appear.

I have no ideas on what the solution is for this problem. I've tried just about everything to resolve this all to no avail. I have even uninstalled jEdit 4.2 and reinstalled it and the same thing happens.

I would really appreciate it if anyone has encountered this and has a resolution would pass it on?

Thank you;

Hi,

I wich to change the background color of a TextArea when the buffer is readonly.
I can't figure out how to do this...
Setting
pView.getTextArea().setBackground(pColor) results in nothing.
pView.getTextArea().getPainter().setBackground(pcolor) paints every open textArea.

How do I change the background of a single TextArea?

Thanks!

Hi! I have installed the plugin BufferTabs. Is there generally a posibility, when there are several files open, to change the order of this buffer tabs?

greets nowad

Hi

First, thanks a lot for this great plugin !

The only thing i've not found into the plugin is the ability to remove unwanted groups.

Example :

belongs_to :${1:object}, :class_name => "${2:ClassName}", :foreign_key => "${3:foreign_key}_id"$end

In this template, most of time I need only the first var group. I know I can bind all templates I need but It make a lot of shortcuts to memorize.
It would be great to have the ability to tab on a var and remove the group with a binded key :
belongs_to :${1:object}$[, :class_name => "${2:ClassName}"]$[, :foreign_key => "${3:foreign_key}_id"]$end
When I tab to go on $2, I can remove all the group ', :class_name => "${2:ClassName}"' with a binded key.

It can be usefull also for things like "if then else end", cause I need to make different shorcuts with one for the "else" case, and only one could be done with such a system.

I hope you have understood what I mean

Thanks a lot !

I'm new to jEdit and just love how its code-folding works in ASP pages (both the VBScript and the HTML can be folded). But there's one thing I'd like to have that would make the two languages easier to differentiate:
How would I specify a different background color for VBScript in an ASP page?

I'm sure there are valuable discussions in this forum, so I think it should stay here for historical purposes, but all new feature requests should be posted to the sourceforge.net feature requests tracker, and further, any important ones that are posted here should also be moved there and given a unique ID, which can be closed when the feature is actually implemented. Don't you agree, vampire?

I am having some trouble expanding the syntax highlighter within jedit. I have changed xmode .dtd , token.java to reflect adding 4 new tokens. However I believe that I am missing something somewhere as the syntax highlighter pane under global options is empty when I execute the new jar. Any help would be appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to modify the insert date macro to give me the date + or - the current day.

example: text here (date here) more copy here.

Thanks for any help.

Hi All

I have a really dumb problem, I can already see the solution must be a simple switch somewhere, but can't find it.

After installing jEdit 4.2final on Windows (corporate environment, old Java version 1.3), I was initially able to change the window size in the usual way. Must have inadvertedly flicked some interface switch, now it always stays maximized, no matter how many times I toggle the "maximize/restore down" button in the window corner.

Anyone know how to switch it back?

Hi,

I'd like to add the following features to the CodeBrowser plugin:

1. An option to show tags with their namespace (i.e. classes, structs, ...) instead of the plain tag names - useful mostly for OO languages (C++, Java, ...). For example, if a file "a.cpp" contains functions "void A:f()" and "void B:f()", you will see "A:f()" and "B:f()" in the tree instead of two undistinguishable "f()" nodes. What do you think?
One of the questions regarding this feature is what to do with the right-click menu operations: Insert, Hypersearch, Copy, ... when the namespace option is used. Should these work on the namespace-qualified tag or continue to work on the plain tag name?

2. An option to have the tags grouped under their namespace, instead of under their tag type ("Function", "Variable", "Class", .. ), and an icon for each tag that specifies its type. Such a presentation of the tree would make it look more or less like the "Outline" view in eclipse. I think such a presentation may be more useful than the current.

At a later stage, the CodeBrowser tree can become completely customizable using an XML configuration file that will map "ctags" information into tree node strings and icons.

Please tell me what you think.

Thanks,
Shlomy

I can't seem to find the configuration options to disable the auto-completion of quotes and parenthesis/brackets. I find it often creates the closing character at the wrong times when I'm editing. Can anyone point me to where I can change that option?

Thanks,

I use JEdit on Windows. For software that let's you set an external editor 'helper', I like to use JEdit, but frequently have trouble figuring out how.

In particular, I'd really like to use it with WinSCP. Can anyone give me instructions on how to do it for WinSCP? Or any general tips or instructions for doing this generally on windows with jedit?

[The fact that it's a java app instead of a normal .exe is what is at the root of the problem, I guess.]

Hi,

I am using AntFarm to compile CodeBrowser and i get the following error, it seems that ant is trying to compile with jdk 1.4 and i have 1.5 installed on my computer, I checked in my path and classpath and i have nothing that mention jdk 1.4, i never get it installed on my computer...Anyone have any idea??

I'm having trouble getting the XML plugin to use an XML catalog to locate the schema referenced by my document. Can anybody help? Assuming all three documents (document to be edited, referenced schema and XML catalog) are in the same folder, I would expect the following to work:

root element of edited document:
<Ace
xmlns="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>

catalog element in catalog document:
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog" prefer="public">
<public publicId="http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb" uri="acedb.xsd"/>
</catalog>

If http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb.xsd is not available, I would expect the editor to look up http://www.birdstep.com/xml/schemas/acedb in the catalog and so find acedb.xsd in the current folder.

What actually happens is that the editor returns HTTP 403. I've tried endless variations on the above setup, all with no luck...

PS. I have added my catalog to the list of catalogs in the XML plug-in's options.

Newbie to jEdit here. Love what I see so far, but can't help but notice that it runs unbearably slow compared to other text editors. I'm talking about something in the realm of a two-second pause after the down arrow is pressed before the cursor moves down a line.

Using Windows XP Professional. Yes, I tried rebooting.

Ideas? Thanks in advance!
