I see, so sounds like this feature does not exist yet... Perhaps a plugin could be written for this, or should it just become part of jEdit? Another feature I'd really like is a shortcut to jump the caret to the end or beginning of sentences without selecting anything. I don't have Java experience but I see there is Jython support in jEdit. Does anyone know of the APIs that are relavent to the features discussed? If nothing has been done for any of the above, I will also try the development list... Thanks again for your responses.
