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

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!!!!

How do I do that in jEdit? I miss that feature from EditPlus.

If it can be displayed, how can I change the symbol used for displaying these special characters? I don't like how the line-feed looks like a period.

The hypersearch result is in the tree list.
Is there a way I can copy to the whole content to clipboard?

I'm using jEdit 4.1 final on Windows XP Professional. I've installed the plugin JSwat 1.5.4 with jEdit. My Problem: After restart of jEdit I cannot find the plugin. Neither with the plugin manager nor with searching through the options. May you give me a hint, what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
lauviss

P.S.: I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything about such a problem. If this is the wrong forum, sorry.

When I use vim, I can use a .vimrc to specify that when I start comments and hit enter, the next line will continue the comment characters. For example:

/* blah blah 
 * the asterick is entered automatically
 */

// comment 
// line 2 where // is entered automatically when ENTER is hit

/** 
 * Javadoc style comment does the same thing
 */

Hi,
is there a keyboard shortcut to activate column (or vertical) selection mode without having use CTRL-LeftMouse Drag? I miss something like the ALT-C combination of UltraEdit (which I have at work), this key switches the behavior of SHIFT-Cursor-Key between normal (line) and column selection.
If not, is there a way to add it?
Thanks!

I've checked, double checked, and googled everywhere and haven't found any options to enable rendering of anti-aliased fonts in jEdit. The AntiAlias plugin is deprecated, so I figured "hey, that means antialiasing is either not supported or there must be an option here somewhere...".

Can't find it. I'm feeling stupid. C'mon you guys, where is it?

I'm a PHP coder and I'm loving jEdit btw. Definitely not love at first glance, I saw jEdit last year and ran away screaming. Totally different impression now, plugins are awesome!

(Specs: Windows XP SP1, J2RE v1.4.2, jEdit 4.2pre15)

I suspect I'm missing something, but I haven't figured out how to view my current (x)html/css page in a browser (Safari, Firefox, ...) while using the XML plugin.

I'm using Mac OS X, so all I really need to be able to do is call the shell command "open" on the current buffer.

Is there a way to do this? .. possibly a plugin?

Owen

On the webpage i am working on right now there are HTML template with .tpl extension. It seems hovever there is a seperate editing mode for .tpl, so when i edit one of the templates the features of the XML plugin are not available.
So my question is if it is possible to have the HTML editing mode enabled for .tpl files automatically.
