Autohide docked views and better "intellisense"
Submitted by DaveF on Monday, 21 September, 2009 - 21:24
Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to automatically hide docked views when they no longer have focus. I remember there used to be a plugin for that functionality quite a while ago, but it's no longer compatible with the latest version of jEdit. I also think better "intellisense" and code completion would be a major plus. A lot of times I have to keep switching between jEdit and the Java API docs because I can't remember exactly how a certain method is spelled. It would be much easier if I could see a list of methods pop up as soon as I type '.'

Need Help
Submitted by Nirvana_One on Tuesday, 22 September, 2009 - 08:31
Hello,
I found it fast while jedit openning a txt file and displaying it even the file is large, why?
I use text to append the StringBuffer, also use MappedByteBuffer, but it's not as fast as jedit.
Would someone tell me some...?
Also My email: ts.nirvana@gmail.com
Thanks very much.
Powershell edit mode (powershell.xml v1.0 by James Hamilton)
Submitted by hmhoek on Tuesday, 22 September, 2009 - 19:25
Loosely based on jEdit's perl mode. This highlights just about all regular syntax, although I have not added support for calling generics yet. Ctrl-i indentation also works. Static methods don't get highlighted because when I wrote this lookbehinds weren't supported in mode definitions.

Hello,

i want to use jEdit as an external editor of Code Composer 3.1. I have tried a lot of things but nothing works. Especially i want to set up a line parameter which tells jEdit to go to a specific line.

Here you will find a screenshot of the configuration dialog of Code Composer for external editors:

Create new file from template
Submitted by rafael.felix on Wednesday, 23 September, 2009 - 22:27
First of all, i'd like to thank the jedit team for letting us use this fantastic editor. It is by far the best programming editor i've ever worked with.

But now here is the question: is there any way to create a file from a template? (Like those in Microsoft Word?)

I work with multiple php frameworks and it really sucks to have to create new controllers, models and views from scratch everytime.

thanks!
cannot download jEdit
Submitted by Pollyanna on Thursday, 24 September, 2009 - 15:32
When I try to download jEdit, I always get a message saying, "The "jedit-devel/4.3pre17/Packages.bz2" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file."

I get this message regardless of what I try to download.

What am I doing wrong?

corpus for computational linguisitcs
Submitted by hamyfox on Sunday, 27 September, 2009 - 20:49
Hi,

I recently discovered Jedit and started working with Jedit macros.
This site resources have been very helpful in assisting me with writing
a search and replace macro for HTML documents for corpus purposes.
I would like to clean HTML files and save them into txt files.
I am familiar with classes and methods from C++ but not quite
with Beanshell coding. Are there any references for Beanshell codes and methods ?
I would appreciate any help, in form of macro code for the following:
1- macro to delete first x lines of a document
2- macro for keeping only contents of title, paragraph or body of an HTML document

Any help in this matter through code or references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
newbie, BeanShell error, emacs emulation, WinXP
Submitted by gap on Monday, 28 September, 2009 - 22:49
I'm trying out jEdit as a possible 21st Century replacement for XEmacs to write python code. By now my fingers are hard-wired with Emacs keybindings, so I installed Brian's Emacs Emulation Package on two different WinXP machines. On one it works just fine. On the other I get a BeanShell error when jEdit starts (text below). I've reinstalled jEdit and the Emacs Package, updated java, and rebooted, but I still get this error. I'm utterly java illiterate, but it does look like it's failing on the very first line of emacs_bindings.bsh, so I suspect some installation problem. My java is:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03)

Please help ?!

Custom File Extensions: Enabling syntax highlighting and abbreviations for
Submitted by navin on Sunday, 4 October, 2009 - 18:34
Hello all,
Please forgive me for this newbie question. I have been using jEdit successfully for a while now to create PHP scripts. I have recently started using the CakePHP framework and intend to keep using jEdit as my primary editor. However, CakePHP requires PHP/HTML code in certain files that don't have names that end in the familiar .php extension. I'd like to enable PHP syntax highlighting and abbreviation support for such files. My question is: How do I get jEdit to use PHP mode for files that don't have names that end with the .php extension?

Thanks,
Navin

Trouble building jEdit in Eclipse
Submitted by kenmcfa on Saturday, 10 October, 2009 - 23:32
Hi, I'm trying to built the latest trunk of jEdit in Eclipse. I checked it out from the sourceforge SVN, and then imported it as a new project from the ant buildfile. However doing so gives me loads of problems. A lot of them are complaining that various imports cannot be resolved. I *can* fix these by importing the appropriate .jar files on the build path. This fixes those errors, but I also get package related errors such as "The declared package "macosx" does not match the expected package "jars.MacOSX.macosx"" I could fix these by replacing the package declarations, but surely this isn't necessary? Is it possible that I've set something up wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

My first commando file, allows me to run cfdg from within jedit. You will need to tune it for your system, available options are crop size, choice of svg or png output. Default output filename is as the input rule, with appropriate extension (ie "png" or svg" depending on chosen output format) is added when run the command (ie hit OK button). Updated version as of 10 July 2012, now includes -Q option for quicktime movies output, depends on release version of CF3 with compiled in ffmpeg support on linux.
formatting paragraphs within comments
Submitted by mab2001 on Wednesday, 21 October, 2009 - 16:27
Hi,

I use "Format Paragraph" along with "Rectangular Selection" to format text in a comment block (where there is "* " to the left of every line). The problem I have is that this always formats the paragraph to be 80 characters wide regardless of the left column of my selection. Is there a way to get Format Paragraph in this instance to use column 80 minus the selection's left column as the paragraph width?

Alternately, is there a plugin to aid in writing and formatting ASDoc or JavaDoc comments?

Thanks,
Mike
