When I try to open JEdit, it gets as far as instlling plug-ins then freezes up, and I cannot close it. Plese help.

Is this possible through ctags invocation options possibly? Apologies if that's a stupid question. A feature request there's no way at the mo? Would be lush.

In the BufferList pane I used to be able to select multiple files, as you would in windows explorer, using the shift and control key. Recently this behaviour stopped.

A first click on a file "bolds" it and a second selects it (adds a background colour). Once a file was selected I could then add more files using control or shift. This doesn't happen anymore.

Is there another way to do multiple selections?

I'm a somewhat infrequent user of JEdit but have most of the basics down. While doing a rails upgrade to an existing project, I was searching the directory for similar degraded code, which worked fine. Separate, floating hypersearch window was wonderfult. At some point, it disappeared. I have no idea what I did to cause it. I can go into global options and dock it, where it works fine, but I would prefer that it float. If I change it back to floating, I get nothing, so I have to go back to docked to see any results. Does anyone have any ideas on how to recover the floating version of hypersearch? Thanks in advance

Hello. I am a developer trying to switch from Years of using Multi-Edit/Brief to JEdit.

I need a macro that will select a range of lines so I can then TAB or Shift-Tab or Delete or search within the selected area.

My old macro would do this:

* Look for the ending tag, set a marker.
* Search backwards for the starting tag, set a marker.
* Go to the end marker and start line text selection
* Jump to starting marker so that all lines from End to Start are selected.
* Stop

This then returns control to me, but leaves many lines selected so I can indent or tab or delete or copy, etc.

I am looking through the textArea API. I see deprecated calls like "getMarkLine()" which look like the functions I want - but it's deprecated.

Basically - interacting with Markers and selecting text - I'm just not getting how to do it. Any advice would be helpful.

Hi everyone,

I used jEdit since a while but for Perl, I now programming in Ruby and I had found the ruby plugins it's really helpful.
But I'm wondering to know if it's possible to add my own documentation for my project, in fact we work on a big application and we have our documentation.
So I just want to add a link to our doc on "ruby doc". I don't find the way to make that.

Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody.

I think this has been asked before but I need to make double sure. Is there a setting (or plugin) that will autoclose brackets, braces, & parentheses? I've seen a couple of forum responses that suggest using abbreviations. I don't want this solution as I'd have to either use the space bar or c+;. I use jEdit as my principle tool for coding. It'd be great to have this small feature added.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to jEdit, I like it very much except the feature - code complete. Here is the problem I met.

I've installed both SideKick and JavaSideKick. When I type in a dot after the name of a class or an object, only class methods are shown. Eg.When I typed in "System.", all the methods of class "System" will be shown; however, when I typed in "JFrame a = new JFrame()" and "a.", nothing was shown.

Could anyone give any hint? Or is it a bug for jEdit plugins?

Thanks in advance!

I wish to know how I can uninstall ALL plug-ins in jEdit so I can reinstall only those I need, and more readily detected those, if any, which are giving me problems. Thanks for the help.

I have installed ALL of jEdit's plug-ins, and many (or at least several) of them are not working. How can I uninstall ALL of them, so I can selectively reinstall only those which I need? Thanks.

When I try to compile a score using the Lilypond Tool in jEdit, I keep getting the following result: java.io.IOException:error=2,No such file or directory??? What does this mean, and how do I fix it??? Help please. Thanks.

This happens on windows 7. Has anybody experienced this ?
Whilst not critical, this is annoying and i'd hate to have to use another editor.

I am looking for strings like:

"The Angry Squrl" [1/8]

I know how to do the RegEx - but when I search - the Caret is left at the beginning of the matched string. I want the Caret to be in a specific place so I can add things.

In the above example - I need the caret to be before the "[" character.

Is there a special character I can put into a search string that tells Jedt where to put the Caret if found?

My RegEx that finds the string is as follows:

\w+"\s+\[\d

Hi.

Does anyone know of a plug-in that will do the following? I'd like to split the screen vertically into two panes. I want to see the 'same' file in both panes. In the left pane I want to see the first xx number of lines. In the right pane I want to see the same file but starting at xx + 1. When I scroll, both panes would scroll together. Basically, I want a second pane to show the 'overflow' lines from the first pane.

Thank you,
CJ.

I'm trying to set jEdit 4.3.2 as the default editor for my files in Windows 7. But when I browse for the jEdit.exe I can't find it. I was able to do this a few days ago, but I had to uninstall jEdit do to some other issues. But now I am unable to set it as the default editor.

I'm using Jedit 4.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 server using XFCE 4.6.2. My JRE is 1.6.0_24-b07.

I am seeing lots of strange Swing re-drawing issues. I have a file browser docked on the left, and periodically, the directory listing entries dissapear until clicked. Also my buffertabs bar at the bottom gets corrupted. It seems as if closed buffers' titles don't get removed, so they write across existing ones.

Is this a JRE Swing thing, or JAVA. I havn't seen this issue with any other Swing applications?

Don't know if the Macro forum is the right place for this question, but, I would like to call make install automatically when I save a file, from the parent directory of the file directory. Is there a way to do this automatically, and have a button or something to turn the feature off? If this is the wrong forum, please point me to the correct one.

Thanks,

- Joel
