Is this the place for feature requests? If so, I have two (probably = small) requests: 1 - Every time the "smart" home / end key sends me off my current line i = want to kill myself, it destroys my train of thought so badly. PLEASE = put the option back in to turn it off, i can't stress how much I loathe = that behaviour. 2- This one I don't know how difficult it is, but is it possible to have = the horizontal scrollbar adjust to the width of the widest line in the = file, as opposed to the widest line on the current viewable page? Apart from those two things, I heart jedit.... I think the website could = use a nice easy-to-find pointer to an html object reference for macro = programming... I've done some cool macros, but it took ages to find the = info I needed. -Josh And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep? And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet? And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means? God help me, I was only nineteen. |

Unless it is taken out of the newest version, there is already the option to turn this off...I don't have it turned on in my setup. -> richard |

If it's still in there (pre 5), I can't find it, it's definitely not where it used to be. -Josh And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?

The second press sends the cursor to the beginning of the line. The third press sends the cursor to the beginning of the fourth line from the top of the screen. This appears to be as far back in the text the cursor can jump without causing the display to scroll. And I too cannot find the option to turn it off (jEdit4.1pre4). Can somebody confirm that this problem exists in pre5? Jeff > [snip] |

In jEdit from CVS (pre5+), 'HOME' is bound to the 'Smart Home' action which behaves as you described. Try re-assigning HOME to some other action, such as 'Goto Start of Line'. This can be done in the 'shortcuts' pane in Global Options. -Ollie |

Do you have electric (auto scroll) borders turned on? That would seem to fit the behavior you are seeing. --- Jeffrey Burns <jf...@ro...> wrote: > On Mon, 2002-10-28 at 13:34, Oliver Rutherfurd > wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Jeffrey Burns" <jf...@ro...> > > > > [snip] > > > > > > I think this qualifies as a bug.

If you're asking about Smart Home/End, see Chapter 4 (Editing Text) of the jEdit User's Guide for an explanation of how it's meant to work. It also describes how you can reassign HOME to another action, in the event that you don't like Smart Home/End. HTH, -Ollie |

I'm using pre4 and the Global options->Text Area panel has a "smart" home= key=20 and a "smart" end key check box. Turning them off causes the home key to= =20 goto column 0 and end to go to the end of the line. I haven't had time to upgrade to the newer pre, so I don't know if it sti= ll=20 exists or not.
