I would like to copy all the lines returned by a hypersearch.
I tried running the macro (v5.7.0) but received an error message:

Re: [ jEdit-users ] Space between and line numbers and beginning of code

[Dale A. <da...@da...>]

There isn't a setting for it, but here is one way to add that space. In
jEdit, use the Utilities menu: Utilities -> Settings Directory ->
properties. This will open your properties file for editing. Find
"view.gutter.borderWidth" and change that value to what you find
appropriate, probably 2 or 3. Save the change, restart jEdit. The default
for that value is 0 in case you want to change it back later.

[ jEdit-users ] Space between and line numbers and beginning of code

[Barry N. <bl...@gm...>]

Is there a way to adjust the spacing between the line numbers and the first
character in line of code?

Further info:
Using different desktops yields different results:
With ubuntu-default or gnome-flashback the problem is present.
With cinnamon all works, afaict.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] difficulties to type: ´ `

[Thomas M. <tho...@gm...>]

I now installed jEdit 5.7.0, the problem persists, though.
Maybe it's due to my german keybord layout, where signs like ´ ` ^
require two identical keybord strokes.
Using "Utilities-Troubleshooting-Keyboard Tester" doesn't help: for me
it looks like jEdit tries to identify each keyboard stroke as a single
character (as opposed to the terminal, gedit and others) and (as
example)  the ` sign is never entirely entered. So its even difficult
to remove the "started" `  sign. Sometimes I can continue with a
right-click, for the remove, and copy the ` sign from elsewhere.

Tedious and weird, though...

Re: [ jEdit-users ] difficulties to type: ´ `

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

I am using Kubuntu 24.04.03 LTS.
For keys not working, try Utilities-Troubleshooting-Keyboard Tester and see
if those keys register at all. If they don't, it is probably something in
the OS that is interfering.
I am not too familiar with gnome so I can't help you but in KDE there are
sometimes some keyboard "helper" apps that run in the background and remap
keys and capture them before regular desktop apps can see them.

In any case, I recommend downloading and installing jEdit 5.7.0 from the
website. It is newer and has important bug fixes.

[ jEdit-users ] difficulties to type: ´ `

[Thomas M. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi,

after switching to a new laptop, Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, with jEdit 5.5.0,
I have difficulties to type: ´  `
What am I missing?

Further info (not sure if relevant), if started from terminal I get:
$ jedit -version
[warning] /usr/bin/jedit: No java runtime was found
[warning] /usr/bin/jedit: No JAVA_CMD set for run_java, falling back
to JAVA_CMD = java
jEdit 5.5.0

Any insights?

Thanks,
  Harm

[ jEdit-users ] Jedit Users

[Michael D. <mic...@ic...>]

I'd like to request information about how to create a Character Set for JEdit.

There is a large Atari 800/800XL dev and users group,
and while we can run on the retro machines, and the Altirra emulator,
we can't open Atari Text Files, in a modern editor.

So, I was wondering if there's any doc on creating another character set for JEdit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATASCII

[ jEdit-users ] Add keyboard shortcut in plugin

[Stefan Z. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi

I'm trying to add a keyboard shortcut for a plugin action. My props file:

plugin.ch.so.agi.jedit.InterlisPlugin.menu=compileCurrentFile
compileCurrentFile.label=Compile current file
compileCurrentFile.shortcut=CS+c

This alone does not work. I can add some code in the start() method of my
plugin:

ActionSet actionSet = this.getPluginJAR().getActionSet();EditAction[] ea =
actionSet.getActions();
for (int i = 0; i < ea.length; ++i) {
    String shortcut1 = jEdit.getProperty(ea[i].getName() + ".shortcut");
    if (shortcut1 != null) {
        Edit.getInputHandler().addKeyBinding(shortcut1, ea[i]);
    String shortcut2 = jEdit.getProperty(ea[i].getName() + ".shortcut2");
    if (shortcut2 != null)
        jEdit.getInputHandler().addKeyBinding(shortcut2, ea[i]);
}

After that the shortcut works (or at least after on restart of jEdit). Is
it actually even possible to add a shortcut from a plugin. Is this the way
to do it?

regards
Stefan

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Dale A. <da...@da...>]

Ah! That explains why I'm not seeing the issues everyone else is seeing. I
got version 1.4 from plugin manager. It still looks like there might be a
small problem with the UI being unresponsive while the files are opened.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Dale A. <da...@da...>]

I don't use the FTP plugin very often, so I haven't been following this
thread closely. I tried today and I don't have any problems? I'm using FTP
plugin version 1.4 from the plugin manager, jEdit 5.7, OpenJDK 24.0.1. The
only issue I see is that it takes a while for the files to load, and during
the loading, jEdit is unresponsive. Probably the loading needs to happen in
a background thread? From my activity.log:

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Jarvis, B. <Bob...@si...>]

FWIW – I use jEdit 5.5.0 to open dozens of files every day so you may need to roll back to 5.5.0.

My computer with 5.6.0 on it died the other day and I still need to box it up and ship it back to HP for warranty repair. (Geez. Remember when HP gear was the absolute best there was? I know – I’m old – and so are the HP-41C calculators I still use every single day).

Thanks,
Bob

Well, spoke too soon. After trying to open as many files as possible from FTP, it
appears 7 or 8 is the limit (per session)...I opened 5 closed them all, then opened
3 more and it froze again...this using the pre-release FTP and the current version.

So, that's a real bug. In the meantime I'll confine myself to being aware that I need to
quit the app after opening 7 or 8 FTP files.

BTW: I'm a remote worker and all my day-to-day activity is done via FTP in jedit.

Have to say after getting the $JAVA_HOME thing squared away and setting
the correct path and setting 21 as default using java-common tools I've made
the freezing bug go away.

My old friend, jedit, is back to its reliable self. I am so happy. Using 5.6 with Java 21
every thing is working fine.  So, I'll wait for the production release of FTP and when
5.7 is working well with the new FTP I'll do the upgrade.

Thanks again for being so responsive.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Jarvis, B. <Bob...@si...>]

For what it’s worth – I (tried to) report a problem with the FTP plugin a couple months ago:

From: Jarvis, Bob
Sent: Monday, February 3, 2025 4:19 PM
To: jed...@li...<mailto:jed...@li...>
Subject: Problems with jEdit 5.7.0 and the FTP plugin

When trying to connect to remote servers via FTP or SFTP with the FTP plugin (version 1.3.2) I’m getting the following error:

3:34:54 PM [AWT-EventQueue-0] [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities.requestFocus(java.awt.Window, java.awt.Component)'

Apparently the FTP plugin is trying to call a method which has been removed from jEdit. Same plugin version (1.3.2) works fine with jEdit 5.5.0.

A fix or workaround would be great so I can continue using jEdit.

Thanks,
Bob Jarvis

I found that it failed in 5.7.0 but works fine in 5.6.0 and earlier, so the workaround is to use jEdit 5.6.0 if you need FTP/SFTP connectivity.

Thanks,
Bob

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Derek C. <sli...@gm...>]

Thank you. That's super kind of you, and unexpected.

Have to say after getting the $JAVA_HOME thing squared away and setting
the correct path and setting 21 as default using java-common tools I've made
the freezing bug go away.

My old friend, jedit, is back to its reliable self. I am so happy. Using
5.6 with Java 21
every thing is working fine.  So, I'll wait for the production release of
FTP and when
5.7 is working well with the new FTP I'll do the upgrade.

Thanks again for being so responsive.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Derek C. <sli...@gm...>]

One last bit. I resolved the $JAVA_HOME bit by adding lines to ~/.profile

AND...the big issue [freezing] only happens in when using FTP. Local files
cause no conflict.

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Derek C. <sli...@gm...>]

One more thing...reading the devel mailing list I see there is some issue
with Java version.
Should I be using 11 rather 21?

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Derek C. <sli...@gm...>]

Thank you for the update. That still doesn't address the Java mess or the
fact that it
freezes when too many files are opened. I noticed that was an open item on
bug tracker:

https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/4134/

I posted this there:

Re: [ jEdit-users ] $JAVA_HOME, 5.7 no FTB

[Derek C. <sli...@gm...>]

I meant FTP...jedit is useless without it. I've been a jedit user for over
10 years and I've
had to scuttle it and now use VS Code (after trying Kate, Cuda, Codium).
Gedit is excellent but no code folding which is a must.
It breaks my heart to do it because I've loved jedit. But now it freezes if
I open too many files
and the newest version is broken. (Dicking with Java sucks).
