Hi ya,

I was install the spelling module and it timed out during the download, so I though I'd just try later as the server must be busy or something.

Next time I started jEdit ;
Conbsole
JEditCvs
SideKick
SQL
XML

didn't want to load because errorlist was missing.

Any ideas ? I'm trying to reinstall it now.

can anyone help with this? i need it to be used with some time tracking program and need full path of file in main window title ... help ..thanx Lukas

i have been using vim for just about a year now, and am quite happy with it. the best thing about it is that it allows you to do stuff fast, without having to muck about with the mouse. I'ts also got quite powerful regexes and macros that you can run.

if i switch to jedit, which is probably better from a programming point of view, will i still get these features? can i assign vim keys like hjkl for leftupdownright, dd for delete, etc?

thanks

Hello

First I would like to say that JEdit is a wonderful editor and has features that really make the coding fun. I especially like the features that help me to reduce the necessity to manually type the same code again and let me concentrate to creativity.

But there is one thing that has bugging me for some time. I really liked the feature run last macro. It was great that I could choose macro from the menu then run it once and after that use keyboard shortcut to run it again and again When I upgraded to 4.2pre8 from 4.1 I discovered that this function had disappeared. I am a little confused - why to remove such useful functionality.

I also explored forums and mail list archives but could not find much about this. Is there a possibility to reimplement this functionality using macros - creating a macro that could access macro history, especially the last executed macro or any other way to reimplement this functionality?

with best regards,
Phade

Hi,

I would like to set this useful function but don't know how!
Is it a plugin feature or a basic function of jEdit?
Here is a screenshot of what i mean:

Please help...

When I start working on a file, jedit creates a file called #Untitled-1# and puts it in whatever current directory I happen to be in. This sometimes causes me to have these little files scattered about on the myriad of different drives and file shares I work on. The auto save feature lets you set a 'backup' directory, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to set 'scratch file' directory.

Any insights much appreciated !

Hi,
I am new to jedit and have been using textpad to write java programs. I can't get my helloworld application or anything to run on jedit. Is it complicated to run java programs on jedit? Please help!! Detail instructions appreciated a lot. Thanks.

Is it possible to select an entire column? -Disregarding paragraphs or other divisions in the text.
Rectangular selection is not very convenient when dealing with very large files. I'm looking fore some feature that enables me to select a portion of a line and being able to select "extend selection vertically throughout entire file", or anything similar with same effect.

Does jEdit already have such a feature or is it available as a plugin?

I would really appreciate any help on this!

Hi,

Is there a way to indent a rectangular selection with any text?
In some editors (Ultraedit for one) you can perform a zero width rectangular selection (I managed that in Jedit) and just type in the text (in Jedit, the text just appears on one line unfortunately). Is there any way to accomplish that?

Thanks,

Seb.

I edit SVG documents but Jedit (4.1) don't validate them against declared dtd.
I Downloaded it in the dtds directory, but Jedit keep to find "many errors" in my file (element "..." must be declared...).
I don't either understand the "remote host", "login" "pasword" form to cache dtds...

Hi,

I have just started using JEdit, can anyone tell me how I can get my programs to run after I have compiled it.

Thanks

Is there an option/plugin that allows user defined variables to be colorized in addition to normal syntax coloring? (e.g. If I declare "bool PluginExists", both "bool" AND "PluginExists" would be colorized, as would any additional occurrences of "PluginExists".)

It creates an extra copy of the files I open that are prepended with a ~ i.e. ~myFile.file. I would like to turn this off if possible.

I remember reading somewhere in the jEdit documentation that there's a problem with getting input from a Java, if the program attempts to read from System.in (i.e., from std input / console input). I can confirm that this is the case, using jEdit (4.1final) / the Console (3.5) plugin on WinXP Pro . The program halts w/ an unhandled exception since it can't read input.

My question is: are there plans to fix this (any time soon)?
Related questions: Is it possible to fix this (i.e., there's nothing in the architecture that will prevent this from eventually working)? If it's not too hard to fix, and someone would be willing to give this newbie a couple of pointers as to where to look, I'd be happy to try fixing it myself.

Some semi-related background: I'd like to use jEdit in a class on Java that I'm teaching at a community college. The students will need to be able to do I/O, and I want to avoid any command line magic (it's "Intro to programming for people who have never programmed before, most of whom have never seen a command prompt before" )

Thanks!

Hello, I use jEdit with great success on my Creative Muvo memory stick (128MB). I hoping someone could give me a quick way to point jEdit's backup directory to a directory on the memory stick, regardless of the drive path (as the usb stick can PnP with any PC/drive letter). So I have created a valid backup path like: :files\japps\jedit\workbkups and I essentially want to have jEdit see "${JEDIT_HOME}\workbups" as the backup path to send all backups there... but I can't figure out how to do it....is there a simple beanshell script someone can offer to load at runtime to set the parameter, or some other solution? thnx, jEdit is very cool. technx

Is there a way to select text between spaces? (e.g. selecting a complete url http://www.sun.com )

I know there are commands to "select to start of white space" and "select to end of white space" but they will not work together in multiple selection mode.

I like to put cursor anywhere on the url and be able to select the complete url. Is it possible? Combination of steps are fine since I will be recording a macro for the whole process.

Is there a way to make the url in my text file (e.g. http://www.sun.com) into a hyper link so I can just click on it and have it open in a browser instead of copying the url as I have to do now? Don't know if this is possible.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... I can get Indent folding mode to work but not Explicit. Would someone please give me detailed instructions for setting/using Explicit folding?

Many thanks,
Doug

I have instaled Jedit. Now I try to open or save a file but the editor gives me the same message as follows: "Unsuported Encoding exeption: ISO8859_2 . Only ASCII and UTF-8 ecnodings work.
My operating system is windows XP Czech location. Normaly I use cp1250 or ISO8859_2 encoding.
Do you have any idea how to repair this problem?

I use jedit 4.1 final. I recently installed the XSLT plugin, but the plugin UI doesn't show widgets for selecting the xsl file or for specifying stylesheet parameters. That area is filled with a hatch pattern. I've tried reinstalling the plugin, and uninstall/reinstall jedit entirely, but still no go. ANy ideas?

Thanx
