Move to text area from console
Submitted by ernest on Friday, 23 May, 2008 - 01:16
I have a macro that I use to save my current document to disk and then to the server on which I am required to launch builds. This all works fine. But when I do a save, the macro runs (running ssh) and the cursor ends up in the Console. How can I have the cursor jump back into the text area where I am working?

Also, the act of saving causes any errors in the Error List to be cleared. I can understand this given that Console does the error parsing, but is there some way I can tell Console not to clear the Error List?

Thanks!

keep error list

I assume that Your macro runs a statement like runInSystemShell(view, command) which is intended to run a program and catch it's output for showing in console and parsing for errors. The errors are shown in the error list which is cleared before. And I suspect that there is no way to keep the older errors in the list when using runInSystemShell().

But if You don't want error parsing for ssh, You could run it without console: Runtime.getRuntime().exec(SystemCommand).

Focus to textarea

Here are 3 options:

1. Switch focus to textarea directly:
view.getTextArea().requestFocus();

2. Toggle visibility of console dockable:
jEdit.getAction("console-toggle").invoke(view);

3. close bottom dock area:
dockarea = wm.getBottomDockingArea();
if(dockarea.getCurrent() != null) {
dockarea.show(null);
view.getTextArea().requestFocus();
}
