Electric Borders

Submitted by jnicholl17 on Monday, 4 May, 2009 - 18:42

- Using jEdit 4.2 -

I find that I am always having to adjust the vertical position of the page so that I can read a few lines before or after the carat position.

Electric Borders solves this problem to some degree, but it seems to be implemented by enforcing a minimum distance from the carat to the window edge of exactly 3 lines.

I am wondering if it is possible to configure Electric Borders so that the distance of 3 lines could be adjustable or user defined.

Better yet, is it possible to configure jEdit so that the carat is always vertically centered?

I am hesitant to add this as a feature request as I am unsure if this is already implemented.

Thanks,

James

1. There's a property without a GUI control witch controls the number of lines for electric borders:

view.electricBorders=3

Copy this line into Your "properties" file in jedit's settings directory and change the number.

2. I don't think that it' possible to tell jEdit to always vertically center the caret. If You want to file a feature request, please do it at the SourceForge tracker, not here at the forum - nobody would care about it.

Excellent!

Since I use static window sizes, I should be able to center the caret just by choosing the correct border size.

Thanks for the tip.
