Hallo!
I have now finished the first phase of the process of building a model to translate my texts from English into German. The first eBook using it, for phrase translations will be uploaded in the next days.
As I began the process of using jEdit to create the model, I was looking for an editor that would allow me to create a workspace concept.
I would now like to extend the model with a set of exe one-liners to perform certain tasks. For this I would like to use the language AWK or one of its derivatives.
I am using it on my MS-Win-XP-Home system under cygwin. It is useful but the architecture is sub-optimal. Is any work being done on an AWK plugin. I would provide with the work I am doing using scripts written by others.
I would like to hear from decision makers or knowledgable members.
Regards,pat4kin.

I cannot find any way to list the macros I have uploaded. Even searching by my username only shows one of them. If I search for each separately I can locate them. Very cumbersome. I must be missing something simple?

Hello
Is it possible in Jedit to search in a directory and its subdirectories but with the possibility to omit some subdirectories from search path?

When I copy/paste a selection of cells from Excel into Jedit, I get rows incorrectly separated and they appear as concatenated in one line.
Closing and reopening the file, the rows become correctly separated into different lines. It seems a problem related to how Jedit is rendering cells pasted from Excel.

This happens with the latest Jedit release (stable or daily RC) and working on MacOSX only (the same release on Windows behaves correctly).

Which is the problem?

Thanks,
Eva

I am frequently working on multiple projects at once and currently the only options for managing those projects' files in jEdit are pretty limited.

Current possibilities:
-----------------------
1. Have all the buffers open at once

This becomes an unmanageable mess.

2. Have multiple view panes (split vertically/horizontally) and have different buffers open in each

This is messy as I need to remember which view pane has which project (some are similar and not immediately obvious), and constantly move their "walls" to show and hide them.

3. Have different setting folders for each project

This is very inefficient as switching between projects requires restarting jEdit from the command line with the project's settings folder.

SUGGESTION
--------------
Instead, it would be incredibly powerful to have project groups just like Firefox's Panorama (Tab Groups). You can put buffers into a group, name the group and then when you switch to that group, it would minimize the previous group's buffers and open the new group's buffers only.

As well, jEdit would enable ctrl-tab to switch between the project groups. When a user presses ctrl-tab, it would popup a visual list (like alt-tab for windows) over the current buffer with all the Project Groups' names so you could easily switch between groups. (And pressing ctrl-tab again moves to the next group just like alt-tab)

Is it possible to "shift" a rectangular block of text?
What I mean is I select a rectangle start at say column 20 and running to column 30 and encompasses 20 lines and then I want to move it two tabs right, hit tab twice. Now If I try this my text is deleted. If I 'cut' the text, tab over and paste it puts the first line there, but all the descending lines are placed at the left edge and all the text originally between the text and the left margin is moved below the pasted test.

How do I all of it tab'ed over and not delete my text? Is it possible?

I have OSX 10.6.7, the latest, and jEdit 4.4. After updating my OSX yesterday with the lastes update jEdit no longer works. I can't figure it our but it seems that it may not be loading the Mac OSX plugin correctly. When I open a doc in jEdit it simply opens as a blank page. It does not matter what kind of doc I open it is simply blank. Anyone else having the problem?

Thanks

Hey,
vi being old and daunting at first is cool and much faster than any other editor. But who wants to go to console these days when big programming tools are available.
Searching for a word is one of the most frequent things i do. Specially to track the use of variables. Vi makes it easier than any other editor.

Rather than a big daunting window to FIND one word it is more friendly to pop a box in the bottom like in firefox and just give in a command to do a flexible search. And not only search but many many functions if the features from vi are brought into the box. For hard core programmers it will be a boon. Plugin may be a good option for this one.

Thank You

Hey All!

How can I set the syntax highlighting language in jEdit?

It sometimes happens that autodetection of language fails, so I would like to explicitly set the language. Is that even possible in jEdit?

Notepad++ has a self-obvious "Language" menu, where I can choose from the list of all supported languages, and set the syntax highlighting to that. Does jEdit have something similar?

Hi everybody

I'm trying without success to write a macro that does a simple thing :

copy the file names of the files selected in the browser directory (this could one or more files) into a named file (C:\temp\test.lst)

thanks in advance !

Let's say I'm clicking around in any other windows program (e.g. Firefox, Outlook), then I click back in the jEdit window... it hangs for several seconds before resuming function. Same if I Alt-Tab or click.

Once I'm in jEdit, I experience no performance issues.

But I often flip back and forth between email or browser, etc, and jEdit. It's a real pain to have to wait 5 seconds every time.

Could it be memory? Is there something I can add to the startup string that might help?

I did it on my Windows XP computer with 3gb Ram, and now it's doing it on my Windows 7 computer with an I7 proc and 4gb of RAM.

jEdit 4.4pre1 server mode, using Java 1.6.0_23
I am running a dual monitor setup.

I'd like to change the classpath that ClojureShell uses to start the REPL. Is there a way to do this? The Clojure plugin allows for the user to select the classpath through the clojure commando, and I thought this would be used by ClojureShell, but it appears that ClojureShell uses a classpath that only includes clojure and clojure-contrib.

I have an xml with products: 0000007 The problem is that all serial numbers are the same. It is easy enough to search for the serial number but I want to increment the value, maybe using beanshell, for every new search hit. Is that possible? My thought was to convert the serial number to an int and increase the number but I guess this requires a global variable to be used as a counter. Can beanshell use global/persistent variables in the search dialog in jEdit? I am a fairly good java programmer but a novice with bsh and would very much appreciate some hints about where to start.

I just wrote it myself, because I couldn't find one.

There's an error when saving a session with files that are opened from a ftp-server and where you need to use domain name and user name to log on to the ftp-server.
An example:
I open file ftp://domainname\user@host.com:21/file.txt
Session saves this: ftp://domainname/user@host.com:21/file.txt
jEdit tryes to open: ftp://domainname:21/user@host.com:21/file.txt

If session had saved ftp://domainname\user@host.com:21/file.txt, it wouldn't be a problem.

Hello,

I'm new to jedit. I was using ultraedit before... I was used to perform a search usign key F3 whenever a word was selected.
How to configure jedit to do that?

So far, I have to use Ctrl-F and paste the word I want to search into.

thanks.

Can I ask a little advice on configuration of Python for Jedit? I have installed JPyDebug as I found it a suggested plugin in another thread. It is installed but how do I actually configure it to work, as I am not quite sure on how to get it working?

Is there anything else that should be installed to make Jedit a productive environment? is there a stylecop or Pylint feature?

Thanks
