[ jEdit-users ] open file macro unix style. Auto completion. No mouse clicking

[Amir h. <ami...@su...>]

Hi
I've written a macro that enable the user to open a file unix style.

Use Enter to auto complete the file name and to show a directory content.
It shows the directory content which comply with the typed prefix.
You can also store and fetch favorite directories as follow:
- get to the directory you want to store
    example: c:/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets/
- type "> <some name>"
    example c:/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets/ > app
- press Enter
Now the directory c:/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets/ is stored under the name app

To fetch a directory type "< app" from wherever you are
    example: c:/WINNT/addins/ < app
and the directory stored in app is fetched
    result: c:/jdk1.3.1/demo/applets/

It is very mach like navigating in a unix shell with auto complete set.

You can also use the mouse and choose directories and files from the list.
