Simple Question from a Simple Mind

Submitted by stevelw on Monday, 17 May, 2010 - 09:45

I have two questions that have me battering my head against the wall ...

1. How do I configure Jedit so that the find box is empty when creating/opening a document. At the moment every time I start the progam the find box is filled with an old search criteria that I no longer need.

2. How do I arrange for the app to open at a particular location and with a specific sized window?

Thanks

1. You can't! But where's the benefit of an empty search string - You cannot search for it Eye-wink

, can You? When You call the find dialog, the old search string is selected. So, there is no need to erase it: just type the new one as the field was empty...

2. What do You mean? Once jEdit is closed, at next start all jEdit views (windows) appear at the same position and same size.

1. Purely from an appearance

1. Purely from an appearance perspective. Empty field just looks better when starting a new file.

2. Yes, but always at the top left of the screen. I prefer to use it on the right side, virtually full screen height. I know I can move/size manually, but I shouldn't have to if I have a standard way of working.

Neither of these matters are a problem, just a minor annoyance

1. ... for You Eye-wink

2. As I said: Normally all jEdit views appear at the *same position*. For me, they do so. What system are You using (versions of jEdit, Java, OS)?
