I've recently switched from HomeSite to jEdit and while I'm *really* happy with jEdit there's one thing that bugs me. For some reason the auto-completion for both HTML and ColdFusion doesn't work for me (jEdit 4.2pre14) if the file extension is cfm. If I save something as .html it works, but of course I would like having both tags and HTML expanded. One (stupid) question: are edit modes resposible for tag completion (because I know they govern syntax highlighting)? If yes, is the edit mode that shipped with 4.2pre14 broken? If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know...

I don't like how the only descent way I can fold with python is using the indent mode of folding. The problem with it is that it is greedy on ending whitespaces. Example:

def a():
____pass

print 'hi'

If I fold a, I get:

def a(): [2 lines]
print 'hi'

What I want to get is:

def a(): [1 line]

print 'hi

This becomes very annoying because if you use alot of folding it will look very busy, when I'd like to keep the extra newlines/whitespaces after each fold. Is there a way to configure jedit to leave these ending whitespaces?

If not, could anyone help me write a regex line for how to get the configurable folding plugin to work the way I want it? (its a bit tricky because of how python handles whitespaces)

Thank you!

Help me, Progress 4GL have embedded comments? Is it working in JEdit?
PS: sorry for my english

I am using Jedit 4.1Final on windows and whenever I save a file that is located on a Linux box it removes executable permissions from the file. So if my file is a script and had permissions 755, after I save it, it will have 644. Is there a fix for this behavior?

I'm using jEdit v4.1 final on Windows XP.

Is it possible to open files by dragging them into the application window? I get the "not allowed" curser when I try to do this. Thanks.

Hi,

I want to use autocompletion in Jedit for XML documents.
These documents are used in cocoon to create forms. They have their own namespaces and dtd or xsd.
I would like to use the autocompletion fonction, but I don't know how to tell this to jedit. I guess I need to have local copies of the dtds somewhere on my system, and declare it to Jedit. How can I do it ?

Another question, probably related : I don't understand what are the catalogs in the XML plugin, what is their usage, and what kind of file they are supposed to be.

Well, it's probably dumb questions, but I'm quite new to Jedit, and I need to learn...

Hello,

folding/unfolding for element nodes does not work in my XML-Document although there is one menu item ('Folding|Collapse/Expand Fold') provided for this purpose. How can I configure jEdit to do this job?

Any help wellcome,

Greetings

Michael

Hello,

I'm editing an XML Document with jEdit. How can I display the document in a tree?
There seems to be no menu item for this purpose. I've already installed various XML-libraries ('XML','XML-Indenter','xml-commons-resolver.jar').

Help would be great.

Greetings

Michael

Hello,
I just started to learn a bit C. Is there a mode file, plugin or something that would give me better C syntax highlighting in jEdit? I use jEdit everyday, mostly for html stuff, and I would like to use it for my C lessons too, but I find the default C highlighting a bit disapointing. For example, function names are not highlighted at all, although there is a setting for functions in the syntax highlighting options. I would love to have different syntax highlighting for function names and variable names, like in SubEthaEdit, if anybody knows this editor.
Sorry if this is a FAQ. I tried to use the search form to find an answer, but it doesn't use search strings shorter than 2 chars, so I can't search for something like "c mode".
Thanks, kimjim

Hi, I'm new to jedit, but thanks to the abundant documentation have successfully installed many plugins. However, "Project Viewer 2.0.4" does not seem to work for me on jedit 4.2pre15 and Redhat 9.0. The symptoms are that I can create projects (files are created in ~/.jedit/projectviewer), but don't seem to able to do anything with the projects. I don't see the Add/Edit icon on the toolbar that the documentation describes, nor do I see any method to load files into projects from jedit, nor is there a window showing the project structure. Has anyone gotten PV to work on the following system?

Here is the relevant activity log info:
[message] Log: java.version=1.4.2_03

If you have gotten this work, can you describe what you did/do to make PV work after it is loaded? Thanks in advance

Jim

I'm very pleased with jEdit (4.1)... I've been using macros to clean up the "filtered" html that MSWord 2003 generates for a project I'm working on. One problem that I noticed, I can search and replace the weird "smart quotes" and elipses (sp?) that Word uses with HTML entities using the Search and replace dialogue box, but whenever I try to record it as a macro, it stops working. A typical macro, once recorded, looks like this:

SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("“");
SearchAndReplace.setReplaceString("“");
SearchAndReplace.setBeanShellReplace(false);
SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(false);
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
SearchAndReplace.replaceAll(view);

Any ideas as to what I can do to get it to work as a macro?

Specifically, I'm looking to get jedit to behave like ColdFusion Studio, but I think the general theory applies to anything. How do I enhance the list of tags that pops up when I start typing "<"? currently I just get html tags, but I want the CFML tags to appear as well. Thanks.

Is there a way to get jEdit to syntax highlight a heredoc string based on the delimiter?

For example, if I have a heredoc comment such as this

$table = <<<HTML
<table>
....
</table>
HTML;

can I get jEdit to see the HTML delimiters and then treat the content in between as HTML and perform syntax highlighting accordingly?

Is it posible to let the cursor go beyond EOL just by pressing the arrows?

What it the procedure to launch Jedit within JDistro.
I intent using JDistro in order to save memory.

When using =pod ... =cut to comment out Perl code, and subsequently using Ctrl-I to automatically indent the Perl code, the =pod and =cut tags are placed in the same column as the start column of the next line of code. They should be placed at the first column of the line though to be interpreted correctly by the Perl interpreter.

I used to have ultraedit. To edit a read only file, I just open file browser (window file dialog box) and change file properties.
Any simliar feature in jEdit?

I'm tring to make a commando file for compiling individual C/C++ files.

It should take in as arguments: which compiler to use, Include switches, Lib switches and other compiler switches.

Is it somehow possible to save these variables so that you don't need to write them every time?

On a side note: Is it possible to make the Eval attribute excute an arbitrary beanshell script?

Thanks In Advance,
Julius

Btw, JEdit Rocks!!!!
