When having several *.prn-files/buffers (containing text only) open within one instance of jEdit and trying to search and replace e.g. "," by "." in all buffers i get the error

"The specified search file set contains no files. Please ensure that the file name filter and directory to search (if applicable) are set correctly"

The error occurs with jEdit 4.4pre1 under Win7x64

Hi, guys.

I'm enjoying using jEdit and wanted to know one thing.

I work with many remote servers which often have files in different encodings.

Can I somehow determine default encoding per server?

Hi there,
I have used JEdit for years on a Mac without any problems. A few weeks ago, suddenly, the file browser stopped working for browsing files on remote server with the ftp plug-in. I thought maybe I needed to just upgrade JEdit or something, so I downloaded jEdit 4.3.2 and installed it.

I went to start setting up my environment with the first thing being downloading the FTP plug-in again. The only problem is that I can't download the plug-in. It looks like it tries to do it and then gives me a message that says, "Error while downloading the plugin, please try another mirror. Operation timed out." I have tried quiet a few other mirrors, but still get this message. Any ideas?

JEdit is my preferred program to use to edit files on my remote servers, and I'd really like to get it working again.

Thanks!
Kristen

Can anyone explain or point me to where I can find information on how to change/create jEdit color and font schemes? I've searched jEdit's forum and wiki, but found nothing. Thanks.

Hello. This feature request is best explained by example. I have a text file, see below:

You can see the text file is formatted using spaces. Only in "overtype mode" can such a text file be edited, but even though it's not convenient. Suppose I want to remove "Membership 5" and let every other line in the right column move upward one line, it must be hell of trouble to do it. A easy way is to add a feature to select a rectangle in the text file, and the editing area is in the rectangle. If I select the whole right column in a rectangle, then, editing only affects characters in that area. Removing a line, for example, makes every below other line lifts up in the rectangle, but outside does not move. Perhaps this feature isn't used much, but having this feature created a new way of doing text editing, people may find interesting ways to use text editor as a mind-map, an organizational-chart editor and a web layout editor without having to use a graphical tool, and being able to send charts through emails. This may be further enhanced with the use of box-drawing characters. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

A very nice feature I'm looking for is to change the color of code according to the #if/#ifdef preprocessor directives.
For instance, having the "toto = 1" code in the following code displayed in a special color to indicate it is not compiled:
#if 0
toto = 1;
#endif
I've not managed to find if this feature already exist (using the ctags stuff plugin or so) but this would be a great great feature!

Any advice welcome, regards,
Sebastien.

Several of my favorites are more then 10 directories deep. Beside the bad readability it almost won't fit on my screen. It would be great if I could give alias names to my favorites.

Does that imply major changes or can it be done with relatively small effort?

To me jEdit as an editor is nearly feature complete. Now the focus should by layed on usability. I find the file browser the weak point. IMHO it needs an major overhaul.

Kind regards

Is it possible to have the console window located in the edit buffer area (just another 'file' to edit) - instead of floating or docked? Would save some space on the screen and would 'hide' it when not used instead of moving/clicking around.

Can I get horizontal scrollbars with the Console window (and no wrap)? Large command lines get very confusing this way.

Can I make the Console stay at the position I moved the vertical scrollbar to (in case the position is other than the bottom) instead of being positioned to the end with every output? Useful for longer compiles/executes in case I already want to use the time to read through the output...

I really like jEdit. I havn't spent too much time yet but it's got excellent features. However I want to be fast in editing. Especially loading files (no clicking - I may get used to the EBrowser plugin), cycling through my buffers, typing commands - not forced to take my hands off the keyboard and use the mouse to press buttons, menus or changing focus for the basic editing. I'm coming from SlickEdit V9 and am not that much convinced from its V16 - just too much auto this and that...

Hello,

I'm a french user of jedit

I want to know if someone knows how I can get the result of a command execute via sshconsole(console).

I succed to get a result but the command is executed in a independant thread, so when I execute the command, the result don't contain the complete result but juste a few lines.

So, may be someone know, how I can find if a command is ended ?

Thanks in advance

I've started using Jedit recently, i usually use Notepadd++ .

Working with XML plugin i can't find some useful feature that XML Tools of Notepad++ have, like :
-Tag Auto Close
-Print XML with line breaks
-Convert Selection XML to Text and Text to XML


Are there this feature also in Jedit ?
which plugin have i to install ?

Thanks.

Whey I try to paste some Japanese chars from http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f99692952 (e.g. 落札者はログインしてくださ) to a buffer with either UTF-8 or EUC-JP encodings I see rectangles instead of those chars.

How to fix that?

Works as expected in gedit, NetBeans and Komodo by the way.

Alexander

Is there a way in jEdit to select a bunch of text and wrap it in, say, p tags? or div tags?

I mean without having to type them in obviously.

When I drag and drop selected text, jedit by default copies the text. Is it possible to set it so that it just moves the text without copying?

Dear Community,

When I comment code I am getting the older fortran "C" comment character. I would like to change this to a !. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Dear all,

I would like my code to be formatted in a way where printing is easy. As is, jEdit indicates that my screen is displaying in Monospaced 12 plain font. The print options indicate that printing will be done in the same font except in 9 point font. However, when I print, the font is not 9 pt, it is still 12 pt. Am I missing something easy here?

I would like to set my font to 9 or 10 pt while editing and printing. However, when editing I would like to be able to zoom in (so 9 pt is bigger than it usually is). I have not found how to do this. When I set jEdit to 9 pt font, it simply shrinks the page and so nothing changes (I can fit no more text on a printable line). Any general advice would be appreciated. I am trying to format some code for publication, and I am not a computer scientist (perhaps obviously) and am looking for the most efficient way to do this. I'm pretty sure copying code into a Word .doc and formatting there would be a nightmare (and a duplication of work in some sense).

Thanks,Seth

Hi,

I would like to set my printing font size and length of line (buffer options>wrap margin># characters) so that what I see on the screen is as it will be printed given the print margins I have set. So, I have a 6.5" wide print area (8.5" minus 2*1" margin) and found out that 9 point font should be 0.1245" width for each character (or 3.1627 mm). I then divided 6.5 by 0.1245 hoping to find how wide in characters my wrap margin should be set. The floor of this number is 52. Experimenting found this to be very wrong. I then held a ruler up to a page printed from jEdit using 9 point type and the character width is right around 2 mm. I could experiment around and find a margin that will work, but it would be nice to know the actual width of a point in inches or millimeters within jEdit (that way it is a bit quicker for future projects and more elegant). I suppose I could just dig out some calipers

So, am I being a total dunce here and missing the obvious or is 9 point font in jEdit not the same as usual? I thought perhaps the point system used was the Didot, truchet, postscript, or some other version, but none of these seem close (truchet makes the line too long on screen and the others too short).

Thanks,
Seth
