I am now getting a "jEdit" is broken, move to trash error message when attempting to run jEdit on my iMac running OS X 10.8.5. It ran previously. I downloaded the latest version and tried running that with the same result. Any ideas? Could my Java version/install be broken and that's causing this result?

After starting jEdit this morning, I got a pop-up window:

FTP Plugin Master Password
Enter the master password to decrypt your (s)FTP passwords:
[ empty text field ]
[OK] [Cancel]

The problem is that I never set such a password, though I did do a plugin update yesterday.

Clicking OK just brings up another dialog, cancelling brings up the 'Connect to Secure FTP Server' dialog and I can enter a password there, but then it pops up another dialog:

FTP Plugin Master Password
Choose a master password to enecrypt your new password file:
[ empty text field ]
[OK] [Cancel]

regardless of what I do, it just goes back to the first dialog, naturally, hidden underneath all other windows on the desktop.

Selecting cancel in the first dialog many, many, many times will eventually bring up a series of these dialogs and eventually starts up jEdit proper. However, there does not seem to be anywhere inside of jEdit configuration to set a master password. Changing the session results in a session to one with no remote files results in a session with no actual files loaded that cannot be used.

This makes jEdit effectively unusable.

I am using jEdit 5.1.0 (Linux). I have a text file that is generated by a development tool I am using. It has many lines, but it has a couple lines in excess of 4000 characters. If I try to open it with jEdit, jEdit seems to open it, but when I try to scroll down further, it seems to get to the point where the long lines start, then it cant scroll down any further. You basically can't see the file past the point where the long lines start. At least I am able to close the file - it doesnt hang my jedit session. But I cant get the file to scroll to the point where the long lines start, the window just sort of hits a wall at that point.

I get lots of errors like this: (lots of errors with regex in them, although I am not doing any regex searches when this happens so this confuses me)

Problem seems independent of whether I turn on word wrap.

I would like to be able to open files with very long lines and scroll all the way through them.
Thank you.

It'd be nice if the search/find history were saved between sessions, such as on disk. Ideally with the replace-history also persisted.

J'ai cette ligne dans une macro qui par ailleurs fonctionne bien:
runCommandInConsole(view,"System","C:\\PROGRA~1\\MOZILL~1\\firefox.exe " + "http://127.0.0.1/"+path);

Je voudrais savoir s'il est possible d'utiliser les chemin long sous windows, c'est à dire remplacer le ~1 par le vrai dossier?

Merci de votre réponse.

Hi folks,

I've been using jEdit for a *very long time*. Many thanks
I'm currently having an issue which is repeatable. The text area display is not being refreshed fully as I am editing/moving around a file - typically lines of text aren't refreshed, disappear or are displayed wrong.

For example:

1. Open jEdit. The text area size is approximate 70 lines of text.
2. Select Macros -> Properties -> System Properties.
3. Properties are loaded into buffer. These run to 64 lines on my system.
3. Click on a line > 45.
4. lines of text disappear below line 45. I can still see the gutter numbers. The line I click on is sometimes displayed after a delay.

I've checked the various display property switches for the JVM (opengl, disable 3d etc) and none of these have made a difference. I find it strange that it is the text area only that seems to be affected.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks, Mark

I created an edit mode and added an entry for it in the catalog: I can apply the mode manually through the buffer options, but it doesn't get used automatically. the file I want it to work on is a *.txt file. Could my new mode not be working because the txt one is being used?

Howdy,

v5.1.0, OSX 10.9.2

Is there a way to switch between views via the keyboard? NOT buffers, views.

Don't see that in the menu anywhere, otherwise it could be bound to a shortcut key combo.

Using multiple monitors it seems the only way to go to the other screen is with the mouse.

I often have each view showing on a different monitor, and each view may show a different active buffer. When tabbing back into jEdit from another program, focus always switches to the primary monitor, even if secondary was active when the program last had focus. This means involving the mouse.

Any tips? Thanks!

I have a basic edit mode I'm creating and I want to make words bold when they have asterisks around them. This does it, but I'd rather have it work only if the * is right next to a word. The docs seem to say I can do it this way.

< SPAN TYPE="KEYWORD1" NO_LINE_BREAK="TRUE" AT_WORD_START="TRUE" >
< BEGIN >*< /BEGIN >
< END >*< /END >
< /SPAN >

In other words, I want *this to be bold*
But * this should not be bold *
Right now, both are getting bolded.

Thanks!

Hello.
I am currently using jEdit with my own defined mode file (mymode.xml). I'd like to customize the help menu. I've found the initial help page to be the welcome.html located under the doc directory.
But for the completeness of my IDE (based on jEdit), I would like to modify the contents structure of the help menu to include different html pages and a custom Contents. But I have not found where these files are located. Could you please help?
Best regards,
Luiz Razera

Hi all, I'm new to this community page. I would like to upload some of my jedit macros I wrote. How can I do that? I cannot find any related link on the files section.

The text for the API reference has always been small but after installing 5.1 the text has become microscopic, like spy story microdot small.

How can I enlarge it enough to read?
