I find it tedious to set up my syntax highligting options and key bindings. Is there a way to do this programmatically?

I use jedit from my thumb drive, which works just fine. But on one system my display is in portrait mode the other system is a regular 1280x1024 resolution. My problem is that when I open a dialog box (say for opening a file or search) the window placements are saved from my old system and are way off my screen and I Can't access the windows. is there any way to change what location the windows open at?

is there a plugin or macro that i can use that will auto close a bracket or quote ?
this is a feature in scribes that i really miss in Jedit.
i have tried the abbreviations trick but it doesn't really work because sometimes i do want a space inside the quotes. and if i open a bracket or brace ( or { or [ and hit space twice, it closes.

anyway, if this is a feature already, please let me know how to turn it on, or if a plugin or macro, please let me know.

great editor / IDE you guys have here, i use it for everything

i have an abbreviation: key: tag abbreviation: <$1>$2$end how would i create a tag that would expand before and after a selection?

i am running jedit 4.2final, and DB Terminal 0.1.1 on linux (ubuntu dapper).

i finally figured out how to install the java driver, i think?. i downloaded version mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar and put in in .jedit/jars. i was getting array out of bounds errors with version 3.

in the DB Terminal connection window i have:

host: 127.0.0.1
database: depot_development
user: root
password:
DB Type: MySQL

but on connect i get the following error:

"Cannot connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.lang.NumberFormatException)"

i can log on just fine with:

mysql -u root --protocol=TCP --port=3306

and

mysql -u root --protocol=SOCKET

any ideas anyone? thanks many.

Is there any way to hide columns in the File System Browser? I don't care to see anything but the file/directory name. I'll edit config files, install a plug-in, whatever it takes.

I've been looking for this feature for a long time. Does it already exist somehow, somewhere? If not, how hard is it to add the feature? From my non-application developer perspective, it would be as simple as not showing the columns that are unchecked in a preferences pane somewhere.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Matthew

Hi

The JTA plugin is the ONLY features that really miss to jedit : it consists in having multiple connections onto differents servers to execute commands (much more powerfull than the console plugin which is limited to the current station you use)...

so this plugin is not maintained anymore... if someone can try this challenge !

Could you please change the Line Comment (Edit > Source > Line Comment) and Block Comment (Edit > Source > Block Comment) actions to toggle comments instead of simply adding them. i.e. If the selected text is already marked as a comment then remove the comment marking.

I'm using firefox 2.0 and all the drop down boxes have a width of only one character. I can't see what options there are to select! Is this the same for you other firefox users? If so please can one of the site admins fix this.

On a related note, there doesn't seem to be any way of contacting the site admins from this website, only the forums are available.

A site map would be nice too, if you can add that to the todo list that will be choice.

When I switch to one of my buffers that contains XML code I've written, I get a msg down on the status line:
XML parsing complete, 1 error(s)
How can I get it to tell me more about the error? (like what line it's on) I tried xmllint, but it claims no errors.

I would like to assign a shortcut key to toggle fold. Thus, if the caret is on a line where it makes sense, ^T (let's say) would collapse the fold if the fold was already open, and expand it fully if the fold was already closed.

I don't see any obvious way to do that--there's no command in the Global Options | Shortcuts list that jumps out at me, although I could have missed it. (Nah. I thought I was wrong once, but turned out I was mistaken.)

I suppose I could write a macro, if I knew how to tell whether the current fold was folded or unfolded (and whether the current line was foldable). There must be a way, that's what the little triangles in the gutter do. But I'm not a Java programmer...

I googled this without finding anything obvious. Thanks for any pointers!

Hi,

i'm using jEdit on a Windows XP SP2 maschine.
when saving small files via ftp-plugin to a unix-host, everything works fine.

If the file size increases up to ~3kB i receive execptions like:

java.net.SocketTimeoutExceptionjava.net.SocketTimeoutException

or

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error


This happens also in several combinations of jre ,jEdit and ftp-plugin, eg.

jre_1.5.0_06 and jedit_4.2 final with ftp-plugin 0.72
jre_1.6.0 and jedit_4.3pre8 with fpt-plugin 0.8


Any ideas or help?

Thanks a lot, vik

I am looking for a feature to allow me to change jedits default fold strings from {{{ }}} to something like { }.

I used to use the customizable folds plugin, but that hasnt worked since 4.3pre2. It appears something changed in the api, and the plugin is no longer actively developed.


Someone PLEASE help... Jedit is the best editor on the planet, and it can no longer do automatic folding...

I'm attempting to use the XML plugin to edit OpenLaszlo files (http://www.openlaszlo.org). The problem is that I cannot include the schema name inside the Laszlo source file; Laslzo won't accept that. Is there any way I can identify to the XML plugin that when it sees files with an extension of .lzx, it should automatically use a particular schema? Thanks.
