Hi All !

I have just upgraded to jEdit 4.3[.1], I installed from scratch and setup all required plugins.

XInsert no longer works for me! None of my xinsert files are loaded!
I tried all, I can think about:
- use the \Program files\XInsert dir
- use \user\.jedit\XInsert dir
- specify a custom dir [in plugin options]
- install the plugin manually

All my includes works well in jEdit 4.2.
I depend completely on XInclude and just cannot continue.

Any help would be really great! I do not know, what's wrong and
if this is a bug.

Best regards,
mabra

code like this:

$addr2 = preg_replace("/(\d+.*$)/is", "", $addr2);

and parser says: Unexpected token: '$'

regards

I am working on a project at my law school. I receive news articles in .docx format and then convert them to .html. This requires a lot of cleanup of the extra tags Word puts into the text. I have a very simple macro that does a find and replace to delete common unneccessary tags. What I want to do is the entire header tag and its contents (and other tags such as table tags).

I have no programming background and can't figure it out. How would I have a macro search for (head) and (/head) and then delete the tags and everything in between?

Thank you ahead of time for any insights you can give me,

Brian

It is cool that it does FTP and SFTP (FTP over SSH); but it would be even more handy if it did FTPS(FTP over SSL Passive connection) and FTPES (FTP over SSL Active connection).

SSH is first and foremost a telnet protocol. As such it carries risks.
In order to use it for FTP users must also, often, have telnet access - not exactly ideal from an administrative point of view.

Many servers now use FTPS and FTPES instead of SFTP.

Being able to access those servers directly from jEdit would be quite the time saver.

I currently use the open source FileZilla client to access these kinds of servers.

If a file references other include files within it, is it possible to locate it in the File Browser without having to manually scroll through the File Browser? I was originally hoping it would be possible to right click on an include reference in order to see the actual file in the file structure.

many thanks

I am a newbie -- evaluating jedit cuz it looks like a better editor than what I have been using. Mostly I like the feature set of jedit, but one thing really bugs the heck out of me. It may be a show-stopper for me if I can't change this behavior. Specifically, when I right click and choose paste from the popup, the clipboard gets pasted at the cursor rather than the caret. I think I am using the terminology right... The caret is a stationary spot in the text area that is set by left clicking. The cursor is a dynamically changing spot which tracks mouse movement. All other editors I have ever used paste at the caret and that is the way I would like to have it work. Is there a way? A setting? A plugin? A macro?

jedit version = 4.3.1
OS = Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

Hi all,

There are two ways to select a block of text in jedit as far as I know.
1) press [Alt] + [\] to enter block selection mode. Then use [Shift] and the Arrow keys.
2) press [Ctrl] + the Left mouse button.

While these are both useful, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to make a third option
3) [Alt] + Arrow keys

The advantage is that it wouldn't leave you in Block Selection mode like 1, and you wouldn't have
to move your hand to the mouse, like 2.

I tried making a macro of 2, but the macro recording facility won't register mouse events.
Is there a way to do this?

Maybe it was the upgrade to 4.3, but I've lost some jedit functionality:

Tag matching - the highlight in the gutter that would link an opening and closing html tag, for instance; and
Tag autocomplete - being able to hit the tab key and close a bold tag, for instance, after hitting just the open bracket and backslash

What option or plug in do I need?
thanks!

Hi all, This may be useful for newbies. A macro based on the "Insert Tag" macro which comes with jEdit, but which surrounds the selected text with b and /b tags. I bound it to Ctrl-B and it's a very useful way to quickly make a word bold.

void insertTag(tag)
{
	caret = textArea.getCaretPosition();
	if( tag == null || tag.length() == 0) return;
	text = textArea.getSelectedText();
	if(text == null) text = "";
	sb = new StringBuffer();
	sb.append("<").append(tag).append(">");
	sb.append(text);
	sb.append("");
	textArea.setSelectedText(sb.toString());
	//if no selected text, put the caret between the tags
	if(text.length() == 0)
		textArea.setCaretPosition(caret + tag.length() + 2);
}

if(buffer.isReadOnly())
	Macros.error(view, "Buffer is read-only.");
else
	insertTag("b");

Enjoy

Hi guys,

Does anybody know why First Mate still isn't in the official plugin repo? How can we get it there?

Her's a macro I adapted for opening php.net's documentation in Firefox for the currently selected keyword:

// Context-sensitive help for PHP.

String editMode = buffer.getMode().toString();
ffpath = new StringBuffer();
ffpath.append("c:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta 5/firefox.exe ");
keyword = textArea.getSelectedText();
if ((keyword == null) || (keyword.length() == 0)) {
    textArea.selectWord();
    keyword = textArea.getSelectedText();
}

if ((keyword != null) && (keyword.length() > 0)) {
    if (editMode.equals("php")) {
        keyword = keyword.replace('_', '-');
        command = new StringBuffer();
        command.append(ffpath);
        command.append("http://php.net/manual/en/function.");
        command.append(keyword);
        command.append(".php");

        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command.toString());

    }
}

Hi,

I have noticed that there is a doxygen edit mode (doxygen is similar to javadoc or phpdoc for those who don't know - these are tools which autogenerate code documentation from specially formatted comments in source code).

The issue I have is that the edit mode for .php includes PHPDoc but doesn't include doxygen. I think the functionality should probably be that there is a default edit mode for php and a secondary edit mode which represents any auto-documentation edit mode types.

This would apply for people using java with javadoc, or php with phpdoc, or php with doxygen or c with doxygen etc. At the moment phpdoc edit mode seems to be hardwired in to php edit mode. I believe the primary / secondary edit mode work-around is more improved. Or at least have a way of selecting which auto-doc tool is to be associated with which files. I would like to be able to associate my php files with doxygen (as an editing mode) and not phpdoc.

Just a quick shout to all developers of this project... jEdit is awesome... especially as I develop on Windows, OSX and Linux at different times. It works on ALL of these... thanks thanks thanks :)

It would be great if somehow a right mouse-click (i.e. context menu) would allow an option to go direct to a relevant programming manual.

e.g. If I'm editing a PHP file and I right mouse-click on file_get_contents() then the entry for that function in php.net is opened in a web browser. This functionality currently exists in other text editors. It would really make things easier. A similar thing for C or C++ and other languages would of course be great too.

Another cool idea would be so that when the user hovers over a library function a large tooltip appears showing the definition of the function and a one line description of what it does.

Apologies if this is already implemented somehow... I could not find it if it is.


Another idea is that feature requests and bugs should be all on sourceforge. It would seem more sensible.

Thanks again to all people involved in creating jEdit... I'm loving it

I've been using Buffer Selector for a while with no problems in version 4.1final, and just upgraded JEdit to version 4.3.1 using java 1.6.0_18.
Buffer Selector now spews out stuff like this:
5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: Exception while sending message on EditBus:
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.gjt.sp.jedit.EBMessage.getSource()Lorg/gjt/sp/jedit/EBComponent;
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at bufferselector.BufferSelector.handleMessage(Unknown Source)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.dispatch(EditBus.java:212)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.sendImpl(EditBus.java:247)
>> 5:10:00 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] EditBus: at org.gjt.sp.jedit.EditBus.send(EditBus.java:188)
etc...

It appears to mostly work, but sometimes it won't update the current file when I click in a different buffer etc. Am I missing something, or is this plugin no longer supported?

Thanks for any help,

Hi,

has somebody a sample of piping a text area to an external program and getting its output back like with vi
(http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/57727)?
I guess this should be possible, shouldn't it?

select text -> Console -> run current buffer gives "There is no interpreter associated with this buffer"

Thanks,
Juergen

The title sounds hideous but bear with me... When I type: /** and then hit enter. It would be great if the next '*' would automatically appear on clicking enter: /** * <- space here for formatting. Then if I clicked enter again, I'd get: /** * <- space here for formatting. * <- space here for formatting. When I add the final */ this auto-formatting ends; /** * <- space here for formatting. * <- space here for formatting. */ [Note that the string "<- space here for formatting." is just to let you know that a space comes after the *'s each time. It would be blank in practise... I hoped that was obvious ;)] It makes it really nice when writing JavaDoc / Doxygen / PHPDoc type comments. Of course as ever this should be an option, as it will annoy some people... we all have different tastes after all Thanks

Hey everyone... I'm very very new to plugin development in jEdit, and java in general. I'm trying to use System.getProperty("os.name") so that I can determine the operating system a user is using. But I keep getting a stackoverflow error, with something about the JARClassLoader or something. I can't using anything in System actually. Every line I put that uses it, returns that same error.

In the middle of editing a tcl file, the mouse cursor becomes an east-west arrowhead whenever I move the mouse cursor away from the editing area. This includes the menu bar, all menus, the buffer drop-down and the scroll bars. If I open a dialog such as the Global Options menu item, the mouse cursor is normal while the dialog is open. Once I close the dialog, the cursor goes back to the east-west arrowhead outside of the text area, but inside the jEdit app window.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am relatively new to jEdit, and have couple of questions about plugin development.

1 - I like to show Plugin options as a separate menu item same as View or Search. How can i edit the props file to get this.

2 - Is it possible for one of my plugin to read the action string? If yes then any pointer on this would be really helpful.

Thanking you all in anticipation.

Cheers
