A Strange problem
Submitted by Reeves1016 on Sunday, 24 December, 2006 - 14:44
I find a strange problem.My platform is Ubuntu and JDK 1.5.0.When I use find function for serveral times,then JEdit doesn't accept keyboard action any more.I mean,it only accept mouse actions.And I use JEdit 4.3 pre8.Does anybody have the same problem??
By the way ,I wanna say that I change the default font of JVM just because the default one doesn't display Chinese.
Make CodeBrowser work with VFS
Submitted by philemon_siclone on Tuesday, 26 December, 2006 - 07:35
When I open a ".c" file over a SFTP connection (using the FTP plug-in) CodeBrowser is unable to display the functions/variables.

If I open the same file on my local hard drive, it works.

Best regards,

Abbreviations not working in MacOsX: 4.3preX issue
Submitted by mtl on Thursday, 28 December, 2006 - 01:12
I am using jEdit 4.2final on MacOSX 10.4.8.
Everything works great.

But if I try to use the most recent build, 4.3.pre8, upon running the application, I cant use
the keyboard abbreviations that I have already defined in 4.2final.

The preferences are set to have the space bar expand abbrevations, and the abbreviations
appear in the preferences pane dialog, but I can't use them.

I'd love to use 4.3pre8, due to the improvements in the plugins. But I cannot live without
my abbreviations.

FIND/REPLACE of a selection with line breaks
Submitted by wdepaepe on Thursday, 28 December, 2006 - 12:54
I used to be able to select a piece of text containing one or more line breaks, FIND/REPLACE (CTRL+F) the selection by another piece of text. I must have @#@#-ed around with the settings (I can't remember), but now it doesn't work anymore.

Hints anyone?
ctags/codeBrowser in OS X
Submitted by trice on Thursday, 28 December, 2006 - 14:50
Hello,

I have a problem with using the codeBrowser (for PHP-scripts) in OS X - it basically doesn't show anything.
I'm not a developer and just found jEdit - maybe someone could give me a hint what to do? - Would be really great...

My configuration:
OS X 10.3.9
jEdit 4.2 final
CodeBrowser 1.3.1
cTags 5.6
(Jump! 0.3.3)

And here's what I've done so far:
I installed the CodeBrowser and downloaded the exuberant ctags and put it at first into
/usr/bin/ctags and later into
/usr/local/bin/ctags, since it didn't work the first time
Then I downloaded the xCode from Apple, since I got the error-message, that I don't have any C-compiler installed, while I was trying to installed the ctags.
After this, I was able to compile the ctags - but still no function-tree or something similiar.
When I use the Path: /usr/local/bin/ctags/configure - I get a positiv testresult within the configurations of Jump! (does that make sense?), but nothing changes within the codebrowser itself.

I hope I don't seem to stupid, but I just discovere jEdit and I'm really satisfied so far, but I'd like to use a code assistent and a function-tree (like for AC in Flash?), that would make my work much more easier.
Thanks in advance,
.Florian
MySQL tree view plugin
Submitted by malibu on Friday, 29 December, 2006 - 23:14
I'm looking for a basic plugin that will show my DB/tables/fields in a tree view, for reference while I am developing. Is there such a thing? I installed the SQL plugin but it doesn't seem to do what I need. I love jEdit so far and I hate Dreamweaver, but it is the one thing that DW has that I miss. Thanks!
Is there a Perl folding plugin?
Submitted by malibu on Saturday, 30 December, 2006 - 17:20
I have the CodeBrowser and the PerlSidekick plugins installed, but they don't seem to detect subroutines in Perl. All I can get are the script names in each view. I don't have any code folding except it does seem to match brackets. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? I'm using the newest version of jEdit and I haven't messed with the perl.xml modes file at all.

Does JEdit have Dreamweaver style templates
Submitted by Peter Mount on Monday, 1 January, 2007 - 02:20
Hello

Does JEdit have anything like the templates in Dreamweaver where you only need to change the markup in one file to change the markup in all the files on a web site?

Thanks
Where are the "modes" folder and "catalog" file for Mac OS X? (jEdit 4.3pre8)
Submitted by pilaftank on Monday, 1 January, 2007 - 20:45
Clicking the Mac OS X package link on the jEdit download page results in jEdit.app being installed on the Desktop as expected, but there does not appear to be any of the supporting folder and files. I can't seem to find the modes folder or the catalog file?

More specifically, I have written special instructions for jEdit users to enable .shtml syntax highlighting for a custom file extension, but the instructions won't work for Mac users. How do I instruct Mac users on enabling syntax highlighting for a custom file extension?
Puntuation Highlights.
Submitted by vapourmle on Monday, 1 January, 2007 - 23:28
Hi there,

I am Very picky about syntax highlighting... I love a good aesthetic, and, the more descriptive the highlighitng scheme the better in my opinion. What I would like - and I may be able to do this myself if I knew how! - IS to highlight punctuation marks when they are in the reserved context (by this I mean, outside of string literals). This highlights the fact that in code fragment that include lines like:

bike2.changeCadence(50);

The period, open and close parentheses and semicolon are an original part of the Java language. Right now the first colout that springs to mind, in context of the normal jEdit scheme, is dark blue. Possible?

jEdit has proven to be an environment that has grown on me. Since being off put slightly by the looks at first, I have kept returning for its rapid-rise response curve. I mean, after just a few tries, my edit sessions have gathered enourmous pace, which I can't say for any other editor. Please keep up the good work.
docking another applications
Submitted by poleta33 on Tuesday, 2 January, 2007 - 14:15
Hi

for sure my question is non-sense but I try : is it possible to dock another application (such xcalc or xclock or putty, etc..) inside jedit ?

Where is XMLIndent?
Submitted by memoimyself on Friday, 5 January, 2007 - 12:28
For years I used the XMLIndent jEdit plugin, but recently decided to try 4.3pre8 and XMLIndent was lost in the upgrade process. I switched back to 4.2, but cannot find the XMLIndent plugin anywhere -- not via the plugin manager, or searching on Google, or anywhere else.

The XMLIndent plugin was one of the best and most useful jEdit plugins for my purposes, and I'm just disconsolate that it's gone. The Beauty plugin doesn't come even close. Stupid me, should have backed up my plugins...

Anyway, does anyone have the XMLIndent plugin who could share it with me? (Am I going crazy and did this plugin actually have a different name? I've searched everywhere, though.)
Dual folding mode
Submitted by brianpeiris on Friday, 5 January, 2007 - 13:51
I'd like to request a dual folding mode where the editor creates folds on indentation *and* explicit folds. This would allow hiding of sections of code within methods etc. where indentation wouldn't make sense. It would act much like Microsoft Visual Studio's "region" folding. So you could have something like:
  public class HelloWorld
v {
    public static void Main()
v   {
      System.out.println("Hello World!");
v     //{{{ Some code that can be folded.
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
L     //}}}
L   }

    public static void AnotherMethod()
v   {
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
      // Many lines of code here
L   }
L }
Which would fold into:
  public class HelloWorld
v {
    public static void Main()
v   {
      System.out.println("Hello World!");
>     //{{{ Some code that can be folded.
      //}}}
L   }

    public static void AnotherMethod()
>   {
    }
L }
I hope that made sense. Thanks, Brian Peiris
Displaying Chinese Unicode Text on English Windows XP
Submitted by ticktock256 on Saturday, 6 January, 2007 - 18:04
I can't get my Chinese text to display in jEdit on English Windows XP SP2. Asian language support is installed. Sun Java 1.4.2_13. See my attached screen shot:


http://www.bluevertex.net/imgrepub.php?category=jeditbug&filename=jedit_no_chinese.png

Note that the Chinese displays correctly in Windows Notepad. It also displays properly in Eclipse so it can't be a Java/Unicode problem. Note also that the buffer options for the file recognize it as a UTF-8 file.

Any ideas? I'm really hoping to use something lighter weight than Eclipse and jEdit is perfect...
Remove_Comments.bsh v1.0 by Jakub Roztocil

superAbbrevs: How to break out of a macro?
Submitted by malibu on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 17:30
Hi there.. I understand that superAbbrevs doesn't support nested macros. However, I was wondering if people could tell me what they are doing in the following situation:

If we have a macro like the following (Perl):

foreach $1 ($2) {
$3
}$end

Given that there is no nesting, how do I break out of the macro when my cursor is at $3 so that I can add another one? The only way I've found is to go to $end, type a space, and then arrow back inside the brackets. If I could just press 'ESC' to get out of the macro with the cursor at that point, it would be awesome. I'm not sure if I would even need nesting at that point. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Trying to setup jEdit to enable me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have them compiled with mzscheme.
Submitted by airfoil on Monday, 8 January, 2007 - 21:11
My Goal: To be able to run the PLT mzscheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the contents of the current buffer.
Problem: Can't get my commando file to show up in list of available commandos
Reference:
jEdit Help: Chapter 5. Commando
User-specific commando files are loaded from the console/commando subdirectory of the jEdit settings directory.
Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory should be called after files are added or removed in the user-specific commando directory.
Plugins>Console>Browse Commando Directory opens the user-specific commando directory in jEdit's file system browser.
You can find out the location of the settings directory by entering the following command in the system shell of the console
window:
%echo ${JEDIT_SETTINGS}

What I did:
1) Placed a minimal commando file named mzscheme-commando.xml in C:\Documents and Settings\kyle\.jedit\console\commando
2) Tried to find Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory, but was unable to locate in jEdit GUI.
3) Searched vigorously through jEdit Help for any relevant information regarding rescanning Commando Directory, and why I wouldn't have that menu option available.
4) Finally decided to ask user group to see if anyone with more experience could help me achieve my goal of running the PLT MzScheme command line Scheme compiler/interpreter on the current buffer, whether it be through custom commando files or by other means.

Question:
Where is the Plugins>Console>Rescan Commando Directory option? I can't find it.
Is a custom commando file the way to go in order to setup jEdit to allow me to edit my Scheme source files in a buffer and then have that buffer compiled/interpreted by my mzscheme processor?

Any help would be appreciated.

File Browser in 4.3pre8
Submitted by jhaefner on Wednesday, 10 January, 2007 - 01:58
I'm using 4.3pre8 with Java 1.5.0_10 and Ubuntu 6.10 and have noticed the following behavior:
(1) when I open the file browser by, for example, doing
file->open; I get an error message on the terminal:
[error] DefaultInputHandler: Invalid key stroke:

(2) When I use the File browser filter with for example,
*.c
I get the correct filtered list, but if I use
FU*
I get no files showing, even when there are files that begin with FU...

Anyone else see this behavior?
