Yesterday, I suddenly registered how used my -key looks, compared to the rest of my keyboard. I investigated for the reason, and found me pressing -s in jEdit very often to save my modified buffer.

In that moment it struck me that an autosave-feature would be nice, which could be described as following:

The file is saved. You start typing. While you continue to type, your file remains unsaved. As soon as you stop to type, the clock starts ticking for a optional amount of seconds until your buffer gets saved automatically.

With "saved" I mean really saved, like with -s, and not the fallback-file with the filename enclosed in "#"-characters.

Such a feature would save me many keypresses and make it much more comfortable to point my mouse to a terminal and execute the modified program.

- Is such a feature already possible with the build-in macro language, or does someone has to create a plugin to make this wish come true?

Hello

I would like to search for the following expression in the text file:

$123 1

Of course the command for this is SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("$123 1");

And it works.

The problem is - that the "123" part of this string is random. So what I really need to find is the first "$", ignore the next 3 digits, find 1 space and finally find "1".

How to create a search command to ignore that "123", or "243" or whatever it may be?

For example if I want to list the file 123AA.txt, I simply put the command "dir ???AA.txt". Is that possible when using BeanShell?

Thanks for advice

Hi, I've been using the RecentBufferSwitcher plugin for some time and have it bound to Ctrl + Tab. I've recently discovered the SuperAbbrevs plugin and want to use it alongside RBS, however it seems that with RBS enabled Tab doesn't trigger SuperAbbrevs.

Is there an alternative to RBS (that can work in exactly the same way) that doesn't hog the key it's assigned to?

Could RBS be modified to allow it to work with SuperAbbrevs? What would I need to make it do that it's not doing at the moment?

Failing that, I was thinking of configuring / modifying SuperAbbrevs to use the Space key instead of Tab for its trigger - much like the normal built-in abbreviations which I've got used to.

Are any of these work-arounds available already?

Thanks in advance,

- Andy.

Dear Developers and Forum Members!

I am a newbie in jEdit. It seems to me very good. Thank you for your efforts and excellent work.

I have a small problem with it. At startup the system loads that kind of files which were never opened.

It loads those files, which are in my user profile directory (C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\).

I am using:

1:32:35 AM [main] [message] jEdit: jEdit home directory is E:\My Installations\jEdit

When I check the settings directory (C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\.jedit) I have to realize, that the system writes never opened files to perspective.xml and recent.xml files all time.
I have deleted those files from the mentioned xml files and the files from settings-backup but it did not solve the problem.

The "Restore previously open files on startup" option is set up.

Thank you for your kindest help.

Hi,
I'am new to this forum. Using jedit for some jears, recently on a macbook pro with Mac OS 10.6.4. Now I've changed my internal harddrive into a ssd- everything works faster- except jedit which works slower- when I hit the save shortcut it takes 5 seconds until the file is saved (and also the lilypondtool plugin does react very delayed).
Any idea whats going on?

thanks,

ole

Hi, I'm getting a really ugly font rendering, as you can see in the following links:

I had a similar problem with netbeans but after adding some extra commands to netbeans.conf[1], it solved the problem.

I'm using Arch Linux x86-64 and OpenJDK

Hallo!

I've tried to rewrite the simple QuickNotepad plugin in scala. I'm using Netbeans 6.8 for this.

Inside the IDE everthing works really fine, but if I copy my 'QuickNotepad.jar'-file in the .jedit/jar directory and then run jEdit, I get following Error-Message:

(Note: This error occurs when I try to open my plugin => Plugins/QuickNotepad->QuickNotepad)

QuickNotepadActions is just a "triat" (=Scala) [Interfac (=Java)] -> so this error message don't really make sens to me

Do you have an idea what could be wrong here?

Ps
I'm using:
jdk1.6
scala 2.8.0 final
netbeans6.8
jEdit 4.3.1

What do I need to configure, for files opened from Nautilus by double click on the same window that is already open?

I just want a single open window.

How do you change the font displayed by the jedit editor? I have always used Frankin Gothic Medium Condensed as it is an easy font to read and does not take up too much space

Is ther any way of altering the font used for displaying code in the editor, either directly or acessing a configuration file?

How is the Python mode (python.xml) file maintained? How does one communicate with its maintainer regarding changes?

Is there an option for Python or Ruby to get script output in Jedit. Similar to run module command in python IDLE or in Scite Go option.

jEdit, Project of the Month, October 2010

http://sourceforge.net/blog/potm-201010/

I'm developing an IDE-like application where I would like to use jEdit (or parts of it) as a source code editor.

It's great that the text area is provided as a component that can be used independently of the jEdit application. However, this just provides the text area – I need to provide menus, toolbars, actions, file management (loading/saving/...) externally.

What would be even greater is thus something like a jEdit view, only that it is not a window, but an ordinary component that I can embed my own components.

Is anything like this planned – or already available, and I have overlooked it?

Hello all,

I've been using 4.2 for several years because of the plugins for it, and installed it right away on this laptop when I got it 6 months ago. I have it running all the time. Then Monday I installed Plants vs Zombies and after a few hours it froze my computer. After rebooting jEdit will no longer start. As the FAQ suggests I tried moving all the files from .jedit/ (since Win 7 won't let me rename the directory), but that was no help. Java is fine, I can do >java -jar jedit.jar and the CLI gives me another prompt but nothing happens. Then I tried installing 4.3 (in a different location) as a last resort and it seems to have deleted my 4.2 directory - and still won't start up.

Oddly enough I went back to a previous laptop and found that 4.2 won't start up on that one either.

A) Anyone else had this happen?
B) Anything else I can try to get 4.2 working again?
C) What's the procedure for a clean install?
D) Or a side-by-side install with multiple jEdit versions?

Thanks!

The search and replace popup menu often hides search results as it seems to always be on top of the jEdit screen showing the current buffer. Especially on a netbook 1024x600 px screen! The incremental search bar (C+,) solves this problem nicely for simple searches. However the search bar doesn't seem to handle all the function available in the search and replace popup, especial replace.

I tried to dock the full search and replace popup to keep it out of the way, but couldn't find it in Global Options > Docking. I'm running jEdit 4.3.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 10.04. I don't see the docking button on any of the popup screens, including the file system viewer which is dockable. Perhaps the lack of docking button on Ubuntu is a Gnome windowing issue? Maybe there is already an option to scroll lines with results out from behind the search and replace popup?

Is this is a bug, a new feature or am I just missing something?

I have searched... uh... literally for at least a year on and off for a solution to this.

What I need to do is to "count" matches and use the "count" number as part of the replacement. I am attempting to change the formatting of a 3d file to another 3D application. Some elements that are not numbered in the original format need to be numbered in the target format. The only way I see to do this is with a macro that can track the match count.

I am very familiar and proficient with regex in jEdit but not so hot with writing macros or java programming. Just looking for some kind of "loop" structure in a macro that counts the matches and increments a variable to be inserted on each match/replace.

For some reason, the jEdit Sidekick plugin has stopped parsing my python scripts (no functions, vars, etc.).
For my Python Path in the Jython plugin, I have been using the python executable that is installed with Maya:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Composite 2011\program
which has been working fine until yesterday.
I've also tried:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Composite 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack\program
Any suggestions for fixing will be appreciated.
Thx

I'm running ubuntu jaunty when I got an update today re:java

After the update jedit 4.3.2 stopped working

Here's what happens when I run it in the terminal

I installed Project Viewer and FastOpen, Jump and try to open a file which is in a project with it's filename, but failed.

The thing I want is Open Resource(Ctrl-Shift-R) in Eclipse.. (Opening a file which is in a project by typing some part of filename)

Is there any plugin like Open Resource thing??
