How to jump to column #nnn?
Submitted by tobi_h on Monday, 14 February, 2011 - 12:41
Good day all,

I see how I can jump to a certain line in a document, but how can I jump to a column in such a line?

I have searched quite some time but found nothing...

Thx in advance for your time to comment,

greets, tobi Smiling
Some information about plugins more used
Submitted by tonimenen on Monday, 14 February, 2011 - 21:43
Hello everybody,

I think it could be very interesting to have the chance to sort the plugins by the number of downloads of each plugin, in that way it is possible to know which are the best pluggins to use by the community.

ProjectViewer question
Submitted by ronw on Sunday, 20 February, 2011 - 08:55
I assume I overlooked something (new to jEdit), but when I added a new project, even after explicitly selecting it, it would not appear in the dockable window's Folder, File or Compact File listings until after I quit then restarted jEdit.

I am using jEdit 4.3.2 with ProjectViewer 3.0.1 on Windows XP SP3.
where does sidekickctags hide the ctags file?
Submitted by ronw on Wednesday, 23 February, 2011 - 17:02
I have looked many places to find the ctags generated by sidekickctags and can't find it. I would like to use those ctags files with the Tags extension since it provides some features that sidekick does not, but requires manually running ctags, so I was hoping I could just point it at the ones made by sidekickctags.
SQL Editor to highlight syntax
Submitted by hillman on Thursday, 24 February, 2011 - 02:37
Folks, I am new to JEdit and operate off of my personal Mac book (in the corporate world I use Windows and it's set of tools). I have a need to write SQL on my Mac and would like an editor to highlight syntax statements for Oracle for example. I do not see a plug-in indicating SQL, what am I missing?

Thanks.
changing actions associated with menu-bar menu items
Submitted by ronw on Saturday, 26 February, 2011 - 04:04
I figured out writing macros to run ctags on a file when it is saved or closed with pending changes. I found where I can re-assign actions to tool-bar items, and to context menu items, but I can't find any way to re-assign actions in menu-bar menu items to use my macros.

I assume I am overlooking something.
Automatic formatting for CSS
Submitted by tp200 on Saturday, 26 February, 2011 - 20:02
We work on CSS with a group of people. Some like CSS in this format:

.style{width:100px;height:300px;float:left}
.style2{width:500px;height:10px;float:right}

Others like this:

.style {
width:100px;
height:300px;
float:left;
}
.style2 {
width:500px;
height:10px;
float:right;
}

(this format should preferable even have indenting, which I can not type in this forum)

Is there a way to toggle this switch in jEdit, so that each programmer just hits a key and switches the formatting?

Thanks!
Marks are not saved properly
Submitted by fstephens on Monday, 28 February, 2011 - 17:45
I have a constant problem with the marks for a buffer being wrong.
They seem to be shifted to random lines. This does not seem to be related to adding/removing lines in the text area.
Is there a solution to this, or at least a way to easily re-mark all functions?

jEdit stuck loading "init macros" on Windows 7
Submitted by msaz87 on Tuesday, 1 March, 2011 - 21:39
Hey All,

I recently had my work laptop upgraded to 64 bit Windows 7 and now I am unable to get jEdit working again. I installed the Java environment, but installing jEdit with the Windows and Java installers both succeed until I launch the program, where it gets stuck on "init macros"

Another odd thing is I can switch users and log in as the computer admin and install it and it will open while I'm logged in there... but when I switch users back and try to open jEdit, it still fails.

Any ideas? Thanks!
Viewing Output with GSview as .pdf
Submitted by trisquirrelon on Wednesday, 2 March, 2011 - 18:56
My Tutorial says that I can view a .pdf after compiling, once having defined the Default Viewer via Plugins->Plugin Options->LaTex tools->General Options I shall apply this path: C:/Programme/Ghostgum/Gsview/gsview32.exe
Unfortunately, opening Plugins->LaTeX Tools->View Output results in "path can not be found". How can I view my .tex file as .pdf?
See report below:
C:\Programme\jEdit> %kill
No process is currently running
cd "C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles"
C:/Programme/Ghostgum/Gsview/gsview32.exe 'C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles\pg15 RRZN manual exercise.pdf'
%detach
C:\Programme\jEdit\doc\myfiles> Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.

Sparse_Search (sparse_search.zip vV1.0 by Peter Theobald)
Submitted by turtlecove on Saturday, 5 March, 2011 - 11:39
Searches an indented outline and puts the results in a new buffer. The results will have the lines that had the text you searched for along with the parents of those lines for context. Emacs Org-Mode calls this a sparse-tree.

Two versions: one for plain text search and the other for regex search.
Download the two .bsh files and put them in your /jedit/macros folder. Then go to Utilities/Global Options/Shortcuts and set up keyboard shortcuts for sparse_search and sparse_search_regex (such as control-shift-F and control-shift-R).

Console Commandos dynamic CHOICE Element
Submitted by ZIOLele on Saturday, 5 March, 2011 - 15:48
Hello all,
is it possible to populate a choice element in a commando file dynamically? (as in running an external program and using it's output to create the options)

Thanks for your time.

jEdit stopped working after intall of Internet Explorer 9
Submitted by oscillator on Wednesday, 16 March, 2011 - 15:36
Dear forum,

yesterday I installed IE9 on my Win7Pro computer. Since then jEdit has stopped working.

I have reinstalled JRE and jEdit but no luch. I have also switched IE9 off.

If I paste the content of the jedit.bat file:

start "jEdit startup" "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe" -Xmx192M -jar "C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" -reuseview %*

into a command window I don't get any error messages, only a new prompt. No jEdit window.

A "javaw.exe*32" process I started though.

Any ideas?

building my translation model
Submitted by pat4kin on Thursday, 17 March, 2011 - 14:54
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.
Outline_Sort (outline_sort.bsh vV1.01 by Peter Theobald)
Submitted by turtlecove on Tuesday, 22 March, 2011 - 06:19
outline_sort v1.01 peter@TurtleCoveTech.com

Sorts an outline.
Treats the selection or the buffer as an indented outline and sorts based on the leftmost indented "parents", carrying the subtrees with their respective parents.

Skips lines with jEdit auto-settings :setting=value: at the top or bottom of the file.

I keep all of my info in plain text outlines (Org-Mode style) and this allows me to sort my outlines.
Note: I bind this to 'CS+O s' (the two letter code Control-Shift-O s). I plan on writing more Outline macros in the style of Org-Mode and binding them to (refile: CS+O r, sort: CS+O s, capture: CS+O c, SearchToSparseTree: SC+O f, archive: CS+O a, jump: CS+O j, etc)
Handy Tip: hit 'control-e s' to select a tree before sorting to sort just one outline tree instead of the entire buffer.
