Using the keyboard, how do I switch between open files. I currently have to select the bar just above the text area which brings down a drop down list and select the other program from there. Ideally I would like to set up Ctrl-Tab as a 'swap open files' key

How do I set the home key up so that when pressed, the cursor goes to column 1. Currently it seems to go to the first non white-space character which could be in column 10!

Copy or Cut Lines Containing
Submitted by

Sunday, 1 August, 2004 - 17:52
Hello, I'm new to jEdit coming from BBEdit. BBEdit had functions called "Copy Lines Containing..." and "Cut Lines Containing...". I can't find that jEdit has a similar function, does it exist?
For those that are not familiar with those functions here is an example. Take the following text file:
bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
oranges, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi
If you choose the "Copy Lines Containing..." function and specify 'bananas' as your query your clipboard will be set with the following
bananas, apples, oranges, grapes
apples, bananas, grapes
bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, kiwi

I have 2 questions about jEdit.
1: How to configure jEdit that it can fold sourcecode betwen { and } (or other configured chars/strings)... for example code looks like that:
function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) {
$gen_x = $new_x;
$scale = $old_x / $new_x;
$gen_y = intval( round( $old_y / $scale ) );
return array($gen_x, $gen_y);
}
and now i want to fold it to:
function gen_new_size($old_x, $old_y, $new_x, $new_y) { [4 lines]
}
------------------------
2: I usualy working o multiple files (5-10), and in prewious versions of jEdit, when i quit jedit and then launch it again, all opened files was still opened. Now, when i close and reopen jedit, it starts with blank file.
What/where is option to force jEdit to keep opened files open after reopen?

changing colors of the dock panels
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 30 July, 2004 - 20:34
Anyone know how to change the default colors of the docking area? (File System Browser, HyperSearch Results, etc)
The colors in general are fine, but the thing that bothers me is that the *selected* panel does not stand out very clearly on my laptop display, which is what I use for work. So it's difficult to tell which panel to click to close down the docking area.
In a nutshell, there's poor contrast between the unselected and selected docks.
Thanks for any tips,
Paul

Is there an ability to view "Procedure" lists (Function Lists in UltraEdit)
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 28 July, 2004 - 03:11
Community,
I currently use UltraEdit but will want to go over to jEdit on my Linux machine.
In UltraEdit there is a list one can view (similar to the browser list) that one can set up to show the beginning of each procedure. By double clicking on a specific procedure, one is transported to the line in the main editor window.
In UltraEdit it's found on View | View/Lists | Function List.
Is there such a beastie on jEdit or anything similar.

Wrapping selected text by command
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 23 July, 2004 - 08:06
Hi, how can I insvruct jEdit
to wrap a selected (i. 300 chars long line) at a specific or some kind of usual column number?
It's not an automatic wraping at the view-layer that I want. I want to get \n-s inserted at for example every 80th character or better at each blank whose column# is > 80
does there exist such a command or does anyone has a macro for that?
Where can I find a collection of macros?
how to add reference of other api manuals from within a zip file to jedit help window?
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 18 July, 2004 - 08:52
Hi,
Is there a way to add the references to manuals of other softwares - such as jdk api - so that the documentation can be loaded from a zip file into the jedit help window. i know that unziping the manual into jedit/doc/api folder along with a simple xml file does the job. However, its a criminal waste of space to unzip the manual (help files).
Thanks,

Any examples for configuring & using the SuperScript plugin ?
Submitted by

Hi all,
I'm having problems getting SuperScript to do anything but output what appear to be error messages. This sounds like a totally cool plugin, but I can't find any examples of how to setup and use it.
I'd love to be able to run perl scripts with it, and eventually beanshell scripts/macros.
Anyone have tips?
Here's the output I get when trying to compute 1+1 several different ways, none of which work:
-> 1+1
org.apache.bsf.engines.perl.PerlEngine
-> 1+1
bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine
bsh.util.BeanShellBSFEngine
-> 1 + 1
org.apache.bsf.engines.activescript.ActiveScriptEngine
org.apache.bsf.engines.activescript.ActiveScriptEngine

Starting jEdit w/o Launcher
Submitted by

Tuesday, 13 July, 2004 - 22:00
I've always used the jEdit launcher to execute jEdit in the past (winXP pro). However, since this is no longer supported, I've had to find other means.
I've tried, from the run menu: java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar
But it closes as soon as it starts.
I've tried creating a "shortcut" that runs java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar, but I get the "dos" console running in the background, taking up valuable tasbar space.
And, running java -jar d:\jedit\jedit from my "dos prompt" runs it fine, but again, I'm left with the console taking up space.
Is there a way to run jEdit so that I only have the jedit window up, and none of these others? Thanks.
Using side mouse buttons for copy/paste

Hi, up until this week I had jEdit configured to allow the use of the side mouse buttons on my mouse (MS Intellimouse) to do copy (left side button) and paste (right side button). This has grown into something I can't live without
Last week windows update screwed up my machine and I had to reinstall windows. I can't figure out how to configure this same behavior anymore, I did it so long ago I can't remember...can anybody PLEASE help?!? I'm going crazy...
Autocomplete/dotcomplete for other languages other than Java?
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 9 July, 2004 - 17:23
Hey there,
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but i've spent several hours looking and have not found anything.
My question is: is there some plugin/way to hack dotcomplete to work with other languages other than java? I got CodeBrowser working just fine with CTAGs and it's great in that respect. It does exactly what i want for my C source/header files.
What i would love to do is have an autocomplete and dot syntax that used that ctags information to aid in code writing while editing an actual file, instead of having to open the code browser and then saying insert.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with jEdit?
Thanks
Brent.
GTK Look and Feel
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 7 July, 2004 - 19:03
I am using jedit 4.2pre14 on a Fedora Core 2 (Linux) machine with java version:
java version "1.4.2_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_04-b05, mixed mode)
In JDK 1.4.2 sun introduced a GTK look and feel (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/swing/1.4/Post1.4.html) that I would like jedit to use. The problem is that it dosn't show up in the interface section of the global options. Running jedit with the
-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel
option still didn't make it work. I also made sure I was using a supported gtk theme and did not see any relevant output of errors or things of the sort (I did see output of errors about some plugins, but I believe that is unrelated).
Jedit continues to run fine, but insists on using the Metal L&F.
Any help would be appriciated!

Have been trying out the Column Insert & Block Fill Insert functions of Texttools plugin but keep getting an error message in the status bar:
"rectangular selection required".
I am pretty sure I've made a rectangular selection because when I do a rect move right with the same selection it works ok.
Has anyone successfully used these functions?
