Timed out installing plugin under Ubuntu
Submitted by matthewyoung on Friday, 8 December, 2006 - 22:19
In Ubuntu 6.10, I tried to install the RubyPlugin get Connection timed out exception. At the same time, I try to install plugin in Windows XP and it's fine so the mirror site is not the problem, right?

I am using Sun java version "1.5.0_08" in Ubuntu.

If automatic plugin install does not work, can I manually download and install plugin?
Compiling/Running from within jEdit?
Submitted by vapourmle on Sunday, 10 December, 2006 - 14:47
HI there, I'm new, I have been trying jEdit, I quite like it but I have been alt+TABing between it and a console window which I do my compiling in. this is a bit awkward as I'd like to compile from within the editor, but I can't find any documentation that tells me how to do it? Are there compile/run buttons in jEdit, if so, what are they?

Also, I have never really grown to love its colourless icon scheme, are they ways of changing this, for example skins?
plugin or macro?

I was watching this video and noticed something in textmate. I don't know if thats a macro's or some form of keyword based autocomplete. Is there something in jedit that is simular to this? or would it have to all be done through macro's?
Jedit forget (some) settings
Submitted by matthewyoung on Sunday, 10 December, 2006 - 22:56
I am using 4.2final under Ubuntu 6.10.

I set "View->line number" checked, "Plugins->Buffer tab" checked. On restart, these settings are not restored. But tab width setting is. What's going on?
Edit Modes: Brackets in Literals
Submitted by jaaa on Wednesday, 13 December, 2006 - 09:13
Hi, I have a problem with edit modes and string literals with brackets in jEdit. I'm working on a little custom query language at the moment. jEdit would be an ideal editor for it if I just could get the edit mode working. The problem is that I have literals that contain brackets and that seems to break the "Complete Word" feature as well as the syntax highlighting. Here's an example of the mode: " " = AND OR Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3 NULL Value1 Here's an example of a simple query: (Attribute1 AND Attribute2) OR (Attribute1 AND Attribute3="Value2 (detail)") Uncommenting the literal with the brackets breaks the edit mode as already mentioned. Is there a way to get aroung this? Am I missing something? I tested with both 4.3pre and 4.2 on WinXP/jdk1.5.0_09. Thanks, Jussi

4.3pre7, scrolling bug
Submitted by lukescammell on Thursday, 14 December, 2006 - 17:28
Sometimes when I'm editing HTML, PHP or ASP I either hit CTRL+HOME or PGUP a few times and the edit window cuts off the top part of the page. It's still there, but I can't move the scrollbar up any further and I can't see the text. If I close the file and then reopen it everything's fine until it randomly happens again. I can't find anything that causes this to happen, it appears to be just random for me :/

Donations
Submitted by philroche on Friday, 15 December, 2006 - 12:30
Hi Guys,

As part of my Christmas Charity giving this year, I would like to donate a small amount to Jedit to help with hosting or whatever. I cannot find a sourceforge donate or paypal donate link anywhere.

Any clues as to where I might find one?

Cheers and keep up the good work.

CA-Clipper 5 Edit Mode (ca-clipper-5.zip v0.1 by Daniel Gonçalves)
Submitted by daniel.dg on Friday, 15 December, 2006 - 22:01
The edit mode for CA-Clipper 5 XBase language. The mode includes statements for Class(y) 2.4b OO Engine library and all documented functions provided by the following libraries:
  • CA-Clipper Tools
  • BLINKER Functions for CA-Clipper 5
  • Class(y) 2.4b OO Engine Library
Probably you want to disable the 'foxpro' edit mode for .PRG files to allow jEdit to use this CA-Clipper 5 edit mode.
Request For "Grep" Feature or Plugin
Submitted by Sledged on Monday, 18 December, 2006 - 22:24
I'd love to be able to search files using a "grep" command. Sometimes I work on a Windows machine, and MS's "find" command many times simply isn't flexible enough. Also, there's something to be said about not leaving the window in which you're working.

Disabling Changed File Check on Alt-Tab/Change of Program focus
Submitted by Aristoi on Tuesday, 19 December, 2006 - 21:30
I am using jEdit 4.3pre3 on Windows XP.

When I switch to another application, and back to jEdit, there is a significant lag while the Samba share refreshes. I assume that jEdit is checking to be sure the file contents have not changed. I have set the global option "If files are changed on disk" to "do nothing" but it still seems to be checking. The 5 second lag is rather maddening, and I would like to know if there is any way to disable this file check entirely.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has any kind of solution!
Dock Left or Right fails
Submitted by jrlooney on Wednesday, 20 December, 2006 - 16:56
I've had this before and I can't remember how I fixed it. Hoping someone else has run into this.
I change the Look and Feel setting of jedit and now I can't dock anything in the left or right. I can dock on top or bottom just fine (but I don't like that for ProjectViewer - I want it on the left). I changed LookandFeel back to "Metal", restarted and that did not help. I even removed the LookAndFeel plugin and restarted jedit and that did not work.

Has anyone else run into this? I am using Jedit 4.2Final on MacOSX Tiger.

thanks in advance

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?
