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?

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.

Hi all, Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to ask this quesiton. I am learning xsl and using jedit. When I run the transformation on a file I get an error when trying to use a user defined function saying that it "cannot find a variable with name of string". I have specified the said variable as a parameter of the user defined function and then try and reference it later in the funciton. eg.

 < xsl:function name="cc:lastSubString">
   < xsl:param name="string" / >
   < xsl:param name="char" / >
   < xsl:choose>
      < xsl:when test="contains($string, $char)" >

Is this because the JEdit XSLT plugin doesn't support version 2 of the xsl specification oir is my xsl wrong thanks

This may not be what jEdit is designed for, but I'm trying to use it to write documentation and can't get it to format a paragraph normally. For example, if I put a tab at the start of a paragraph and set soft wrap to on, the second (wrapped) line will be indented by the tab's width just like the first line. In a normal text paragraph in a document (or a book) that wouldn't happen, the first line would be indented by a tab, and the second line would not be indented and would be flush with the left side of the screen.

Is there a way to do this in jEdit? I got soft wrap to work, but no matter what options I select I can't keep all the subsequent wrapped lines of a paragraph from being indented.

Can someone explain me what is the relationship between jEdit and Jext - they look very similar.

I would like to be able to save my settings...just in case I have to reinstall jEdit again and I'd rather not have to reconfigure the editor to my liking if I can help it.
Where are the global options stored (directory?) and is it just a file I can copy somewhere else and put back if a reinsstall is done?
Peter

Hi there....

is there any chance to add an additional *.hlp or *.chm
file of another application into the help section ....?

would be great if it would be possible...

thanks for hints

Hi, I have jEdit configured to use

C:\jdk1.5.0\bin\javac

for compiling, but I see no place where I can tell it to execute with

C:\jdk1.5.0\bin\java

unless I hand type it all out in the console plugin. It seems to default to my /prior/ 1.4.1 jre installation's java.exe

C:\Programs\jdk1.4.1_02\bin\java

How do I set the default to be the correct JVM? Thanks! Thomas

Is there a way to assign a syntax mode to the current buffer. I get files that have one extension while containing code that uses another. For example, Python, VBScript and JavaScript renamed to txt in order to pass our firewall. I would like to identify the language via a command, or menu or something w/o having to actually change the file extension.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
i don't want to turn Line Numbers on every time i start jEdit. how can i make them stay?
cheers.

What did you do to the block cursor? It was really a block
like in terminal so it could be easily seen, and now it is
four pixel-wide lines. Not only it might be tiring to find that thing, but the lines interfere with the lines of text while a block was an unobtrusive background. Perhaps an option for a real block cursor? 4.1 segfaults on my system for some reason, both on 1.4.2 and 1.5 beta 2, so I have to look for another editor, or somewhat do 4.1 work again.
