jEdit Community - Resources for users of the jEdit Text Editor
Creating new key words (SQL)
Submitted by rdtindsm on Sunday, 8 November, 2009 - 18:43
Have been using Jedit for an SQL class, particularly because of the "capitalize key words" macro, which is SOP in the SQL community. There seem to be some that aren't included, 'minus' in particular. I'm not an SQL guru, but am told that different implementations can have different keywords, so the ability to modify this list would be very useful, as it was the last time I used an editor with the capability.

The home page suggests that I can add (or create) my own. Looked in users guide, FAQ, et.al, and can't find any references that tell me how to do this. Can I change colors too?

mode definition file

For changing the tokens (keywords) You have to edit the mode definition file for the desired edit mode. These files are stored in the "modes" subdirectory under jEdit program directory.

You should have a look at the User's Guide:
- Edit Modes: http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/modes.html
- Writing Edit Modes: http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/writing-modes-part.html

When You are going to edit the mode file, then keep in mind that Your macro capitalizes only the tokens called "KEYWORDx" (where x = 1,2,3,4).
