When I'm editing html, and I type "</" I DON'T want it to complete it for me!
That creates this: "</span>span>" (because I typed the whole thing) which is very annoying. It's even worse if it ended the wrong tag. Sometime's (rarely) it shows a little box by my cursor that requires me to press ENTER to autocomplete. Why only sometimes?!?!?

So, what option is this under, I've searched google and this forum far and high but nothing works.
Thank you.

e.g.: &[auml;] [ouml;] [uuml;] whereas the brackets shall visualize the code-hint which in earlier versions of my jedit (4.3pre, Windows XP and Mac OS 10.3.9) popped up with suggestions how to complete my html code. It also closed tags: when I wrote some text here ] to close the tag appropriately. Monospaced Programmers fonts like Profont seem to work bad with JEdit on my Apple, as the caret showing where you are editing is misplaced. sometimes i wanted to delete an unwanted space and it started deleting some letters before that. and last, but not least the feature I miss most bitterly. The brackets to the left of the gutter which are connecting the starting and end tags. strangely enough this seems to work only with CSS code. here is a explanatory screenshot. Does anybody has any solution to these incidents? Or could you give me a clue of what I am doing wrong? THX in advance, -- tomasio

Hi All, I've used jEdit since way back, on Windows XP Pro, and the biggest issue that I have is that whenever you try to type Shift + ';', to get ':', it always wants to shift the whole line over to the left! I have a plain vanilla jEdit, with no Macros or Plugins. It's done that with every version I've ever had, right now I'm using the latest 43pre10. I don't see that keyboard combination in any Shortcut or anywhere. I don't know what's going on with it, and it drives me nuts. I'm tempted to try and dive into the code, but that's a pretty daunting task.. If it helps, here's the output from the Keyboard test when I hit that combination: Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x10,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 filtered Event KEY_PRESSED,keyCode=0x3b,keyChar=0x3a,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 passed Event KEY_TYPED,keyCode=0x0,keyChar=0x3a,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 passed ==> Translated to S<0,3a> Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x3b,keyChar=0x3a,modifiers=0x1,consumed=0 passed Event KEY_RELEASED,keyCode=0x10,keyChar=0xffff,modifiers=0x0,consumed=0 filtered The other problem is that the Search Bar is supposed to save the strings you type into it so you can re-pick a previous one, but it doesn't save any of them. :-\ I haven't touched any of the property files. It's possible, because I've use much older versions of jEdit before, that somehow things got "mucked-up" and it isn't saving them right or something.. At one point I found and deleted a key property file related to that, and let it create a new one, but it still doesn't save anything.. The Search isn't too big a deal. If anybody has any ideas on how to "fix" the S+; problem, please let me know. Thanks, Joe Siebenmann

I'm trying to improve the highlighting on methods and properties in my Powershell mode. It seems to me that lookbehinds are the best way to get this done. The following example shows what I believe to be a valid statement: <SEQ_REGEXP TYPE="KEYWORD3">(?&lt;=\$[a-z]{1,100}\.)\w+(?=\()</SEQ_REGEXP>

This matches "$foo.bar()" when I do a search but doesn't highlight it (I'm trying to highlight "bar"). Is this something to do with the tokens being passed aroung the highligher simply not having characters for the lookbehind to match?

I don't see any other modes using this technique so I'm wondering if anyone has tried it.

Is there a way to define a wildcard to define a keyword for highlighting? I want to have all of the key words LCD_Col1, LCD_Col2, ... , LCD_Col99 highlighted the same color?

Thanks

Hi,

I can't get the ContextHelp plugin to work (in my case, PHP). I downloaded php_manuan_en.chm, moved it to .jedit/contexthelp/php, modified the filename accordingly in .jedit/contexthelp/php/keyword.bsh but... zilch. I select a function name, I run "Plugins -> Context Help -> Search keyword" and nothing happens.
Does anybody have an example for a valid configuration of ContextHelp? Also, is this plugin still compatible with the latest versions of jEdit? The latest plugin version is dated March 27, 2003!

Thanks.

I just stumbled across jEdit yesterday, and it looks promising, but I have a few issues:

1. How do you save editing sessions? Let's say I have 10 buffers open, with different screen arrangements, etc. How do I save all of that so I don't have to re-load buffers and re-position the panes? I'm not trying to start a flame-war, but Vim does this easily.

2. Again, a comparison to Vim, but how do I easily resize all panes to be of equal size?

3. What about tabs for organizing your editing views?

I know someone's going to say, "Well, if you like Vim that much, just use it." And I do. But I like what I see of jEdit so far, and want to give it a chance.

Hi, I have been having an issue as of late where Jedit will print out in 1/4th scale. I have gone though all the options I can see and have found nothing which would cause the scaling. No other app is doing this.

Any help would be very welcomed.
Thanks.

Hello,

I found the fixed number of token types in jEdit very restrictive and unpleasant. When I have some combined code (HTML + PHP + evt. JavaScript + CSS), jEdit colors everything in the similar colors. But having blocks written in different language looking different would be so nice...

I studied jEdit's highlighting definition syntax and figured out that this is not limited by the highlighting system, but by the number of token types.

I've tried jEdit long time ago, then it was quite user unfriendly, crashing and run slowly on my then computer. Now I've found that with plugins, it has all features I look for to switch from my favorite but old editor, HomeSite (which's developement has already ended), EXCEPT for the genial syntax coloring of HomeSite... I will put a screenshot at http://ondra.zizka.cz/temp/HomeSite_screenshot.png . (Intentionally synthetized mix of all languages together, what is bad practice).

So, my feature request is:

As far as the "parsing" system is capable of the feature I ask for, and even the mode files would not have to be rewritten, I guess this is only a matter of the following:

Let's not have fixed set of token types; instead, let's track all token types of each mode and let it be configurable similarly to shortcuts:
1) Separate color configuration for each mode, and
2) Global default color config for certain token types (comment, keyword1, operator), which would be applied if the specific mode setting would be "use default for this token type".

Is this in plan? Or could be? Was it already proposed? I didn't find.
Any response and opinions welcome.

Regards,
Ondra Žižka

Hello,

I haven't found any option to sort files in Project View. I would like to have it sorted at least by type. Could be?

Thanks, Ondra

Hello,

in some IDEs and editors, project management is handled so the files comes to separated pane, as you can see at this screenshot of HomeSite:
http://ondra.zizka.cz/temp/HomeSite_screenshot.png (if not there yet, I'm still looking for the appropriate file to highlight

How about having an optional possibility to show it that way?

Thanks, Ondra Žižka

Love JEdit. Would love to see synchronized scrolling.

In the feature requests forum it was said that feature requests are better posted to the tracker on sf.net.

So I think the forum should close and be replaced with a link to the tracker. Respectively the advice "Please do not submit bug reports to the forums ..." should be expanded for feature requests.

Hello.
Can JEdit highlight FreeBASIC, QBasic or any other BASIC dialect code?

I've installed the Xinsert plugin, and I can modify its options, all the dependencies are installed, everything seems to be right, but its functionality seems to be totally missing. When selecting it on the plugins menu bar, its just 1 entry and it does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
