Some of the macros available for jEdit are what really make it stand out amongst all the other editors out there (and of course plugins). I think it would be nice if there was a quick link on the right hand side of the web site that would allow a user to get the macros section easier. Someone new to jEdit should be able to see all of these fine macros available. He/she is not going to immediately think to go to the "community downaloads" section. Also, it seems difficult to find all the macros available. For example a few weeks someone was telling me about a macro set that helped in deletion/copy of lines. I could remember the name of the macro or set of macros so I was searching through the text macros and didn't find it. I found the old email though and google searched for copypaste macros and a jedit community page http://community.jedit.org/?q=taxonomy/page/or/82 came up with the bundle on it (although I'll have to work on downloading it - seems like the mime type is off). Regardless, even on the page just listed it's confusing "where I am" in relation to the other macros. I think there needs to be some bread crumb trail or something on the community pages. There is just so much jEdit has to offer - I just wish it was organized a little easier for people to find all the hidden gems it has to offer. (By the way this isn't a criticism on anyone working on these sites.. I know what a pain web site maintainance is. I'd be willing to help out and try to organize things a bit better if anyone was interested in working on it with me.) -- Rick |

Actually I had that plugin installed but forgot all about! Awesome plugin. One problem though... does it work for you if you try to install the SmartCopyPaste macro set? I'm getting IO errors - maybe it's having trouble writing the directory structure it needs? (says can't find file specified which lists the path in my .jefit macros dir to a directory that doesn't exist related to the copypaste macro i'm trying to install.) Thanks -- Rick |
