Anybody using jEdit on the Mac?
Submitted by rovf on Wednesday, 5 March, 2008 - 17:34
I found that my jEdit on Mac OSX 10.4 does not recognize ALT+RIGHT for indenting a selection". When I choose it from the menu (Edit/Indent/ShiftIndentRight), it works fine. When I use the keyboard shortcut (shift+right cursor key), nothing happens.

I haven't seen this problem under Windoze or Linux, and I would like to know if this is a general problem on OSX10.4, or particular to my setup. If anybody out there is using a Mac, could you please try it out and let me know whether it works for you?

Mac Keyboard?

If you're on a mac keyboard, remember the keys are switched. For me I have to use control+right.

Hope that works for you.

Switched???? I don't know this. In what way switched?

> For me I have to use control+right.

Indeed, Control-Right works. Thank you.

Playing around a bit, I also found that Control-Z (Undo)
has no effect (but here, switching the keys doesn't help
either, as Alt-Z is also not Undo, but inserts the Greek
letter Omega). Did you find out, what you have to press
to get Undo?

Check the shortcuts. By default, for undo the shortcut is actually ctrl+e+z (I think). You can change this though.

ctrl+e+z would be redo, but this is not the problem. The shortcut
for undo *is* listed as ctrl+z in the jEdit options; it is only
that pressing ctrl+z on the mac keyboard has no effect. It is
as if jedit would not see ctrl+z when I press it.

But actually I found out about this one by experimenting a bit:
To get jEdit to see ctrl+z, I have to actually press cmd+z on
the Mac keyboard. Weird, isn't it? Maybe it's a bug in the
Mac implementation of jEdit?

Ah, that's right. Sorry got c

Ah, that's right. Sorry got completely confused. Smiling

No that's actually the correct implementation. The cmd (apple) key should be used in place of ctrl.

Copy & paste should be cmd+c and cmd+v respectively. There are places where this isn't consistent like the search boxes etc... but they've been brought up.
