In version 4.1 there was possinility to specify word margin:0 (which was an equivalent of 100%) and lines where wrapped nicely by the end of visible textarea. That feature was awesome but in version 4.2 I can't set it to 0 and it force me to select numbers of characters to wrap - I hate it! When I close my left pane it wrap line by that damn 80 chars and whole chunk of textarea just unusable. I've read release notes and it says that margin:0 was removed becouse it unfunctional, but IT IS FUNCTIONAL in v 4.1 Please take it BACK!!!

Or maybe somebody knows that I don't?

Thanks.

Hi-

Using JDif to compare two long files, I first thought they were identical b/c no 'color bars' showed up. However, by scrolling down I found that there were differences, just not within the current window.

Then I found the JDiff Virtual / Physical option: Physical adds another set of bars to show a complete overview w/o having to scroll, Virtual takes the bars away but reserves the same space for them. So I'm wondering, if the space is always reserved, why have the option? And if in some future release the space can be collapsed, shouldn't the 'Physical' option be the default?

Thanks for JDiff, is a great plug-in!

Platform: OSX 10.3 java 1.4.2, JEdit 4.2 pre 14, JDiff 1.4.1

Thanks,

Hello, I am using jEdit 4.2pre14 and seems the +line: option does not work correctly. If I use a line number, say 2000 then the caret is positioned at line 2000 but the screen is not scrolled down to bring up the line in the visible area. You have to scroll down to see the caret/hightlighted line. Any input?
Thanks

When a .html file is opened, jEdit knows to use HTML syntax highlighing. When a .php file is opened, it knows to yse the PHP syntax highlighing. What extension is needed to that jEdit will use pl-sql syntax highlighting when a file is opened?

Just find it interesting.

Looking from the download count, quite some people download "strange" mode. Seems people use it for different purposes.

Personally I use it as text editor (not all text editing task). Mainly its regular expression support is very useful to me. Some macros are also very useful, especially the "add prefix and surfix" macro. Sometimes when editing html file, I use it to understand file struecture, because of its "find matching tag" feature.

What are you useing it for?

How would one replace only a portion of a regular expression match?
For example, I have lots of entries in my html that have been typed in like..

<a href="http://www.fxweb.holowww.com/tracker/">
WebTracker</a> 
 Web visitor tracking software
<br />

and I want to reformat them all to look like..

<a href="http://www.fxweb.holowww.com/tracker/">
WebTracker</a> Web visitor tracking software
<br />

My Search:  </a>\s*[^<]

in the above case matches: </a> \n W

which I want to replace with: </a> W

How do I grab the W or any other letter that is found by the regular expression term [^<] in order to put it back into the Replace phrase?

How do positional parameters work?

Is there a way to make a rectangular selection
by keyboard?

Is there a feature to do drag'n'drop with selected (Rect/linear) text?

If, how can I use it?


thx

Hello,

I m using jEdit for XML / XSL developing, having the appropriate plugins installed.
Everything is working great, except when typing "<style *>". When doing this, the behavior of the syntax highlighning changes suddenly into a mode where most of the text is displayed black below the style element.

My question is, how can I det rid of it, and where does this behavior come from?

thanks!

Can I set Buffer to do not treat HTML as a plain text when I use clipboard (copy selection from External browser and past into buffer?

Thank you!

Dmitry

I'm wondering if there anything I can do to make External Browser instance (IE) working instead of Internal (inside InfoView tab). Just that mini browser works really poor with complex pages and it would be really helpful to have IE instead of it - just like Homsite have (Browse tab or F12 key). Also would be cool to have server mapping but it sound like big feature request maybe..

Thank you for an answer!

Dmitry

How do I turn off auto indent? I can't seem to find a switch in the global options. Or better yet, how do I turn off some of its "smartness". I hate it changing the indentation while I'm in the middle of a line typing. Like putting in a "}" first (which unindents) and then going back and putting in the "{". It should at least undo it's unindent in that case.

As the topic line suggests, I'm using jEdit in OS X, and one of the problems I'm finding is that I cannot assign control-key-combos to actions. For example, I'd like to bind ^a to the command to move to the start of a line, but typing Ctrl-a in the key bindings interface doesn't do anything--though typing Command-a does set the key binding to 'C-a'. It appears as if my Control key (and for that matter, the Alt key) aren't being processed properly (though in the case of the alt key, it does have an effect, just not a useful one; 'Alt-m' produces a 'mu' character, which I suppose might actually work as a binding, but I'm reluctant to proceed with it.)

Also, for defining large numbers of bindings, I find the bindings dialog to be a little annoying. Is there a file of bindings anywhere which can be hand-edited? I looked, but did not find...

And still more...is it possible to have particular sets of bindings associated with particular types of files, i.e. one set of bindings for *.py files, another for *.c?

And finally...is there documentation anywhere for using python to script jedit? It'd be very nice for me to be able to do this...

Thanks,
Ken

A quick search under "python" didn't show anything relevant, so forgive me if this
has been discussed before. (I suspect it has). I use jEdit (currently 4.2pre11--should
probably upgrade) to program in Python, and would love to be able to:

1) Hit a key to have the current Python file executed,
2) Have any error-related output sent to the Error List
window, and have the editing cursor relocated to the point
of the last reported error, if that file is currently the 'topmost'
displayed file in jEdit.

Using 'Macros>Misc>Run Script', I can get the file to be run,
but all of the resultant output shows up in the Console, and
errors are not written to the error list.

Is there a way to do this for Python?

Thanks,
Ken

I know this is a RTFM situation, and I have - but am having a senior moment.

I want to search *.xml and *.java files.

I know in 4.2pre11 *.xml|*.java in the filter would do this for me. (I still have it on one of my other machines.) But in 4.2pre12 that doesn't work.

What am I missing?

Hello,

I am using jEdit for now a week and I must be seriously missing something as I could not find a way to set it up so that I can compile and execute the Perl script I am developping right now?

Thank you in advance for any hints,

I have tried over and over to do this with the plugin manager and I can't get it to work. I check DotComplete, hit install, and it doesn't even look as though it is trying to install. I am running jEdit 4.1.3 with Java 1.4.2. I tried removing CodeAid to see if that was the problem and it would still not go. I had the same problem for another plugin and I tried just downloading and putting the jar file in my jars directory and that just caused jEdit to crash constantly.

Is it possible to replace block of text?

Is there any way of changing the explicit folding to be activated by anything other than {{{ and }}} for example i want my explicit folds to just work when i put a { or a }
