[ jEdit-users ] Features that may already exist

[plambelist <pla...@ri...>]

Coming to jEdit from textpad, there are only really 3 textpad features =
that I miss in my daily editor use:

1) The facility to step the indentation back by one when I hit the =
closing brace (i.e. hitting return on a normal line, keeps the current =
indent, but as soon as I type the closing brace, the brace moves back =
out to the previous tab stop)

2) Keypresses followed by down arrow take you down to the horizontal =
cursor position before you started inserting text, it took me a while to =
get used to it, but once I did, it comes in very handy for making =
similar changes to multiple lines (e.g. abcdef\nabcdef - inserting 123 =
after the c on line 1 and then hitting down arrow, the cursor ends up =
immediately after the c on the second line.)

3) In find/replace it's possible to insert a counter in the replacement =
text i.e. I can replace a particular piece of text or RE with an =
incrementing number.

I don't know whether any of these already exist and I simply haven't =
found the right checkbox to turn them on yet, whether someone is already =
developing them or whether it's a case of '*you* want them, *you* =
develop them'

One final question, I noticed in one of the screen shots, that there =
appears to be some sort of to do list plugin, but as I can't find it, I =
assume it's part of another plugin, could someone point me in the right =
direction please?

Thanks,

Pat.
