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.

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

Switching to jEdit 4.4.1 on Windows 7; so far I'm enjoying jEdit, but are are some minor annoyances:

* using command line to open a file in jEdit will not switch the keyboard focus to jEdit.

Here's a workaround: front.py

#   bring named window to front
import re
import sys
import win32gui

def winEnumHandler(hwnd, match):
    if win32gui.IsWindowVisible(hwnd):
        if match(win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd)):
            print "found"
            win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(hwnd)
            win32gui.SetFocus(hwnd)

def front(pattern):
    match = re.compile(pattern).match
    win32gui.EnumWindows(winEnumHandler, match)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    front(sys.argv[1])

and j.cmd:

start C:\PROGRA~1\jEdit\jedit.EXE %*
front "jEdit.*"

This helps but doesn't seem to work every time. Probably needs an event flush somewhere.

Another nit:

* jEdit uses alt+ keys (arrow, pgup/pgdown/home/end, etc). I like to use the keypad (w/numlock off) for these keys, but with alt+keypad, Windows insists on adding a Unicode character, even with numlock off.

I've done some googling but haven't found a workaround for this yet. Might have to add alternate mappings for the relevant shortcuts.

Thank you very much guys. I have been using jedit for the last two months and I am amazed by it's abilities. I see the
Need fir just one capability and that is embedded terminal like emacs and geany. If we can have this it will be a great addon.

hello. Having seen webdav read/write/browser support there for years. The original plugin for webdav was written about a decade ago and taken down many years ago.

I am a user and I cannot program (yes I know jEdit's tagline is "programmer's editor but I somehow ended up using jedit for editing my non-program-source-code files) but if a programmer have time and come by you can consider adding this feature:)

If you consider putting support of webdav into jedit, perhaps you can also consider being compatible with gnome's URI convention. Right click in gnome and choose open a webdav file in gnome results this command being called:

jedit dav://username@server.domain.name

I don't see it important to support gnome-vfs but supporting the same URI convention would help a lot already.

The encoding is Unicode or UTF8 and the table displays a 256-character page of the encoding, but the page cannot be changed using the unicode blocks control, why?

When I press CTRL+N, jEdit allows me to open only one empty tab.
How to configure jEdit to allows me to open unlimited count of new docs?

Hi All !

I cannot longer organize my projects using jEdit, due to the inability of the project viewer to open more then one project at a time. I end up to have permanently open something like >> 100 files ...

Is there any way to start a second copy with another configuration?
So, rename the jar, copy it into another directory ... ?
Sorry, have less experience with java.

Any tips could be really great!

Thanks anyway and

It seems that jEdit experiences a revival.

I am happy because I depend on jEdit utterly and totally. jDiff plugin was broken for a long time (sometimes it hangs sometimes jEdit is very slow after using jEdit), but the new version of jDiff fixes that.

Thank you!!
