I can't seem to make jEdit highlight any .ctp file syntax as php. (ctp files are used by cakePHP)

I did the following : "Options" -> "editing", chose php, unchecked "use default", changed "file name glob" to "*.{php3,php4,php,phtml,inc,ctp}", saved, restarted app... but still nothing.

Any ideas ? I use Ubuntu 10.04

I'm working on a jEdit plugin for Lisp dialects. I'd like to implement a form "highlighting" feature, just as it's implemented in DrRacket. It can properly highlight a form, when the form is a valid one (screenshot 1). When we have an invalid form (due to some unclosed parenthesis, for example), only the first form paren is highlighted (screenshot 2). I'd rather highlight all the text up to the next form, instead, in some different colour.

Screenshot 1: http://www.tprimke.net/public/images/LispMode_1.png
Screenshot 2: http://www.tprimke.net/public/images/LispMode_2.png

Right now, I don't know how such a feature can be implemented in a jEdit plugin. I've found out the TextAreaExtension, but I'm not sure if it's the proper solution to use in my case. How can I order jEdit (from a plugin) to draw something on the screen? Something, that might consist of many lines and columns, between two known caret positions?

I've found the methods paintValidLine and paintScreenLineRange, but I'm not sure, when they're actually used - so I can't make any use of them. I need some advice on this topic.

Whenever I open an additional file once jEdit is already running, jEdit opens a additional window into which it loads the file. The new window is also slightly displaced on the screen from the previous window. However, both the new window and the previous window allow access to both the new file and any previous files I had open from the drop-down selection menu at the top of the text area. I normally close this new window, as it's not located where I want, and then use the drop-down selection at the top of the text area to bring the new file to the front, which is two extra annoying steps in the process.

How can I stop jEdit from creating a new window. Any additional files I open once jEdit is running, I want them to open in the already existing window. I've had a browse around in the various menus and global options without seeing where this can be set. I'm running jEdit 4.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10.

Hi,
I have Jedit with the Plugin Includes Parser for HTML pages and as a german citizen, I do use a lot of Umlaute (special characters) in the Include. The Head of the HTML file does show the entry that the endoding is utf dash eight (I can not include the sample code, because I already did write my question with the code mentioned and this board deleted it due to suspicious characters).
After inserting the Include Code into the main HTML page by the Includes Pager, all the Umlaute are shown totally garbled.

Is it correct that the Includes Parser does change the encoding into whatever else, but does not insert the special characters in the correct encoding? In utilities, Global Options, encodings the default character encoding is set to utf dash eight.

Is there any work-around? Normally, I do not bother to find a solution for faulty software, but I seem not to be able to find any other editor with includes capabilities working under Linux.

I tried to find a mode whereby Jedit would change the special characters into HTML entities on-the-fly during entering, as is possible for example with dreamweaver, but until now I did not find anything.

If there is a work-around or any solution I would be grateful for any hint!

Anyone using jEdit w/ NetRexxDE???

Hi there,

I am trying to add syntax highlighting and code-completion for a quite idiosyncratic command file syntax to jedit.

While I managed pretty well to use jedit's xml edit-mode description for syntax highlighting, I cannot find a good starting point to add code-completion.

I currently see two possibilities:
a) use the xml edit-mode description to get the KEYWORDS somehow into a suggestion list
b) somehow connect the lex/yacc parser with jedit.

b) would be my prefered way as, it would perfectly sync up with any code development of the program and its parser.

Any hints, tips outlines which way to go, any getting started or simple example for code completion would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gergoe

I've noticed this happen a few times now both on Solaris and on Windows. When searching a relatively large file (3000 lines or so), if I jump to a result (especially through Hypersearch), there would be duplicated buffers in BufferTabs. Now, I originally thought this was just a bug in the plugin but I noticed that when I edit one, the other buffer would not update. It would also pop up the notification that the file had been changed on disk.

This leads me to believe jEdit opened duplicate buffers of the same file after jumping to the search result line. I'm running 4.3 final using java 1.4.2 but on Windows, I've noticed it happen with the latest JRE and 4.3 final.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any possible solutions?

I've just updated OS X to 10.6.5 and now jEdit doesn't look OSX-ified. In other words, the File, Edit, etc menus are within the jEdit window rather than in the OS X mneu bar.

Other than that it seems to work OK.

Anyone got an ideas as to what's caused this? (I'm guessing it's a Java update that was packaged with the OS X update). And more importantly, can anyone manage to fix it?

Hi,

I apologize in case this is a duplicate. I searched the forum, but did not find anything which seems to be similar to this issue.

I use jEdit 4.3.2 (Java 1.6.0_22).
Since a few days it is not possible any more to replace blanks. When I select "Text" within the Find dialog, nothing happens. In case I select "Return value of a BeanShell snippet" I get an error:

Parse error at line 3, column 9. Encountered...

Is there anything broken? Or is it just a setting I have to change.


Thanks a lot for your help,

Hello,

I just installed SVNPlugin version 1.6.0 with dependencies as mentioned in the plugin page. My jedit version is 4.3.2 using java 1.6.0_20.

When I try to access my repository via svn+ssh the SVN console shows "error while listing entries: svn: Authentication required".
However, I tried to provide the username as part of the URL as well as input into the username field. Password is not required since I use a public key file.

It seems that ssh is not called correctly from jedit, restricting authentication to password only (which is not provided) instead of using ssh's default mechanisms.

How can I get this working?

Thanks!
David

Hello,

I really like the Menu Editor plugin and added some new menus, e.g. XML

I put some actions into the new XML menu and now I would like to put in some separators. I didn't find something about separators in the help-menu and now I don't see why the "Separator" Button doesn't work for me (jEdit 4.3.1 on Ubuntu 8.04)

(in the SourceForge/ bugs & patches list I also didn't find anything about this problem)

Can somebody give me hint how I can add separators using the plugin or manually in a props file?

Greets!

Hi,

I just deleted spam in the projects-list, the project-name was "Aaaaaa".

All the others are from 2003 ... 2004, so they're already done (like Sidekick) or not done.
http://community.jedit.org/?q=project&tid=83

Is it OK, when I clean up this list?

Hallo!
I have been in search of a text editor for work on a desktop running MS-Win-XP and a notebook running Linux Ubuntu.
Having installed jEdit on the XP system I am impressed with the functionality.
I am building a translation model to translate my English texts into German and need the ability to run my dictionary on the jEdit platform. The dictionary is based on a csv file structure.
Can anyone recommend me a way to get a dictionary running with jEdit?
I would like to make use of the create text tags function on jEdit.
I would then use the same tags with the dictionary entries.
Would BeanShell be a way?
What would, for a non-programmer, be the best way to create a simple dictionary look-up script?
For any good ideas I would be very grateful.
Thanks and regards, pat4kin.

I'm having trouble writing a macro that runs a shell command and returns to the text area. The ultimate goal is to have a macro that saves all the buffers (without confirmation), runs the current buffer in an appropriate interpreter (python, e.g.), and returns to the text area. Really, if focus could simply remain in the text area, that would be great.

The trouble I'm having is that the view.prevTextArea() call is either being executed too early or it's simply not working the way I understood. The focus ends up in the System shell area. My code is below. I think the only important lines are the three last ones, but I'm including it all, just in case.

// This is a recorded macro. First, check over the
// commands to make sure this is what you intended. Then,
// save this buffer, and the macro should appear in the
// Macros menu.
filetypeToCompilers = new java.util.HashMap();
filetypeToCompilers.put(".py", "python -tt");
filetypeToCompilers.put(".java", "javac");

fileExtensionPattern = java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("(\\.[^.]*)$");
matcher = fileExtensionPattern.matcher(buffer.getName());
if (matcher.find())
{
	extension = matcher.group(1);
}
else
{
	Macros.error(view, "Unable to determine file type (missing extension?).");
	return;
}

compiler = filetypeToCompilers.get(extension);
if (compiler == null)
{
	Macros.message(view, "No compiler/interpreter defined for extension '" + 
	extension + "'");
	return;
}

runCommandInConsole(view,"System",compiler + ' ' + buffer.getPath());
waitForConsole(view);
view.prevTextArea();

Any thoughts?

Hi all,

I'd like to modify the SwitchBufferPlugin to behave like the editor switching from Eclipse, ie the sorting of buffers is in "last viewed order".

So- is there a way to get a buffer's last viewed timestamp?

Thanks,
Todd

The behaviour of a line at indent folding should only depend on the number of initial tabs in the line, not on the content of the line.

However, when using indent mode, blank lines are not folded correctly. E.g.
A.
___B.
.
C.

(dots denote end of lines, third line is a blank line, ___ represents a tab) after folding looks like:
A.
C.

However, the blank line is on the same "tab hierarchy" as A and C. Therefore

A.
.
C.

would be correct. Why is this a problem? I use jEdit to edit plain text. Blank lines should serve to separate topics A and C, but after folding, the blank line is folded as well and readability is impaired a lot!

Only a line with tabs should disappear by folding:
A.
___B.
___.
C.

should fold to:
A.
C.

By the way, as a workaround I tried to introduce a space into the blank line to get the folding correct, but this doesn't work. Only lines with real text fold correctly.

Thanks

I don't know why, but when I open jEdit now the interface becomes all screwed up on mouse-over, or when I type at the caret. The interface I configured normally has 4 panes: left for console, right for preview of output (I use jEdit with LilypondTool), in the middle for input, and below that I have a pane for midi playback. Except when I mouse over the right pane, or type in the middle pane, I get something that looks like this:

Sometimes closing and restarting jEdit works; sometimes it doesn't. Last time I had to completely uninstall and reinstall jEdit for the problem to go away, but after I closed jEdit yesterday, opening it up again seems to just bring the problem back.
