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.

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

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?

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.

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 ?

bye

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.)

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

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...

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!

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.

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?

JExplorer does not work under the following:
Windows XP, Java 1.5.0_09, jEdit 4.3pre8 (also test under 4.2 Final).

Fundementally, I am looking for the eclipse CTRL-SHIFT-T functionality where I can search the libraries for a class (I think Xrefactor used to do it, but not in Java 5). I find that with Maven* doing the builds for me, that this is the only thing I miss about eclipse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Pete

PS * Maven plugin does not seem to work either... Maven 2, Java 5 (pom.xml ,etc.).

Here is a post of my activity log:

I recently switched over to using Linux, and as a result had to re-install jEdit. However, for some reason (I suspect because something got broke in a recent revision) the XML plug-in no longer generates errors (in the errorList plug-in), even when there are some (for instance, when there is an unclosed tag). Does anyone know how to fix this or when it will be fixed? Or even how/when it got broken? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I built the current jEdit source.

It builds okay, but when I try java installer.Install , the dialogs come up, I fill out the paths, click to proceed, and a dialog pops up, "Stream closed". On the other hand, the installer I download as a binary from the website works. What am I doing wrong?

The file for XML error messages in the ErrorList window shows up scrambled like:
\\wztis015\u01\app\OpenDeployNG\etc\wztis015\u01\app\OpenDeployNG\conf\internet\dev\doogle-edition_test.xml

The path to the DTD file is prefixed to the XML file path.
When I click on a message a blank buffer is shown, obviously because the file does not exist.
This looks like a bug to me.
Any ideas ?

I just upgraded to 4.3pre8 from 4.2 and I noticed that now when I click on the dropdown to change buffers and type a letter or two to jump to a particular buffer on the list, it actually types those letters in the buffer as well as using it to select from the buffer list. (e.g. I am working on an file called 'index.php' and I want to switch to a file called 'add.php'. I click into the buffer list at the top of my window and hit the 'a' key. The buffer changes to add.php, but also types the letter a into index.php, so I have to go back and delete/undo it.)

Has anyone else experienced this, or, even better, found a way to fix it?

I was trying to get the Context Help plugin to work in my OSX copy of JEdit, and to be honest, the documentation just went entirely over my head. I found this link about a JEdit PHP function look up macro which seemed like it would do just as well, but it seems to be written for Windows machines. Have any OSXers gotten this puppy up and going, and is there an M that I can FR or can you help me through it?

how do I return Global Options to default.

For example I changed all the syntax hiliting options and want to return to the default when i first installed JEdit.

Is there a way?

Thanks
