jedit-devel Mailing List for jEdit

I did some final clean-ups and optimizations: 
- delete / optimize redundant regexp
- clean up highlighting of function names
- remove "label:" syntax - which does not exist in R
- add "T" and "F" as short version of "TRUE" and "FALSE" (default aliases in R).

I also attach a test file to check syntax highlighting of R-scripts. 

>From my point of view this could go in.

**[feature-requests:#557] Support syntax highlighting for R  **

This is a feature request for supporting **syntax highlighting for R.**
R is a popular language for statistical analysis: https://www.r-project.org/about.html

R-programs use the **.R** or** .r** suffix. 
In Jedit 5.5 (LinuxMint), this suffix is used for rebol-language. 

However, 13 years ago, in 2013, rebol moved from .r to .reb as a new standard for suffixes: 
https://www.rebol.com/article/0540.html

I use the following mode entry for R: 
~~~xml
<MODE NAME="rlang"			FILE="rlang.xml"
        FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{r,R}" />
~~~

The old rebol entry in the catalog file should probably be changed to: 
~~~xml
<MODE NAME="rebol"		FILE="rebol.xml"
        FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.reb" />
~~~

With respect to its syntax, R-lang has strong resemblance to S and Splus. 
For my personnel use, I just copied/ pasted the splus.xml syntax file, renamed it to rlang.xml and commented one single line. (For the use of "_" which is allowed in R, but not in Splus) 

I use this syntax highlighting successfully with different R-projects and didn't spot any problems. 

Best regards.

The attached update for the syntax-highlighting file 
introduces the following changes: 

- "_" is removed from "wordBreakChars", instead
- "_" is now INVALID AT_WORD_START
- "%" is removed from SEQ TYPE= "OPERATOR", instead
- "%" is now SPAN TYPE="OPERATOR" for %in% or %>% ...
- DIGITS now also work for
- Integer digits: 1L, 55L
- scientific notation: 1e5 , 2.5e-3
- complex numbers: 1+4i, 9 + 3i
- FUNCTION names are highlighted if they contain "." e.g.:  is.na() as.data.frame()
-  KEYWORDS for TRUE, FALSE
-  KEYWORDS for null-able values: NULL, NA, NaN, Inf

**[bugs:#4149] Multiple input of "C+SEMICOLON"**

**Status:** open
**Group:** minor bug
**Created:** Sat Apr 11, 2026 02:51 AM UTC by Yuta Suzuki
**Last Updated:** Sat Apr 11, 2026 02:51 AM UTC
**Owner:** nobody


Somehow jEdit understands a single stroke of "C+SEMICOLON" as three copies of it.
(The key "C" is the command key of mac.)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch jEdit
2. From Menu bar, open jEdit > Preferences...
3. Open the Shortcuts tab
4. Take any command (e.g. Add Prefix and Suffix) and try to set the short cut to C+SEMICOLON
5. Then, "C+SEMICOLON C+SEMICOLON C+SEMICOLON" is registered instead of single "C+SEMICOLON".

Side note:
(1) It seems that even in the text area, the stroke "C+SEMICOLON" seems to be understood as "C+SEMICOLON C+SEMICOLON C+SEMICOLON".
(2) With Karabiner-Elements and other key event viewer, I checked the stroke "C+SEMICOLON" is recognized only once for other application.

jEdit version: 5.7.0
Platform: MacOS (15.7.4（24G517）) with Intel chip
Java version: 25.0.1

I think it is docked, because in the screenshot, you see that there is a tiny tab "Project Viewer" on the left of the edit area, and no other window is floating around. Also, as I wrote, I had clicked on "Open Project Viewer Dockable", so I guess it means that the viewer should be docked. How else can I check this?

This is related to #1397 (same setup, but different error):

I have manually entered the project root for my Project, and have clicked on "Open Project Viewer Dockable". 

The title bar of jedit tells me the name of my project.

Clicking on "File Browser" shows me however the root directory of the file system, not my project directory.

The status bar of jedit shows me the following error message

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "projectviewer.ProjectViewer.getTreePanel()" because the return value of "projectviewer.ProjectViewer.getViewer(org.gjt.sp.jedit.View)" is null

Is the ProjectViewer docked or floating?  Regardless,
I can't reproduce. How did you invoke the file browser? A menu action or a keyboard shortcut?

There is a context menu item called "Show in VFS Browser" when you right-click tree nodes in the ProjectViewer that brings me to the right place.

There is no jEdit 25.02. Please clarify the version#.
Also, you might want to clear the activity log, reproduce the issue, and then attach the activity log.

Hi everyone,


Since upgrading to jEdit version 5.6.0 and continuing into version 5.7.0, the SuperAbbrevs plugin (version 2.0-pre8) has encountered issues with template variables and later abbreviation management.

Template Variable Replacement Failure (jEdit 5.6.0 and above):
When using SuperAbbrevs in jEdit 5.6.0 or later, the plugin fails to replace the variables in the templates as expected.
For example, the template private ${2:Type} ${1:field}; is supposed to dynamically replace ${2:Type} with "Type" and ${1:field} with "field", and toggle between these fields using the TAB key. Instead, the plugin inserts the template text directly without replacing the variables, i.e., private ${2:Type} ${1:field}; is typed as-is, without the variable selection functionality.

Abbreviation Management (jEdit 5.7.0):
Starting from jEdit 5.7.0, in addition to the issue with variable replacement, the plugin also exhibits a problem within the Plugin Options menu under Plugin Options > SuperAbbrevs > Abbreviations, it is no longer possible to add new abbreviations or modify existing ones. The interface is non-responsive for these action.

Attachments
I am attaching the log files from both jEdit versions 5.6.0 and 5.7.0 to assist in diagnosing the issues.

# SnoutKick v1.0.0
**Source**: https://github.com/kaloth/jedit/releases/tag/v1.0.0
**Announcement**: Initial Plugin Central release of SnoutKick.
	This plugin has been in development since 2007. I find it useful, maybe someone else will too?

**Short Description**: A simple ctags sidebar for quickly browsing symbols

**Long Description**: This plugin is a GUI front end to the ectags program. It looks at the currently open buffer and provides you
with a display of indexable elements. In particular SnoutKick can tell you which function your cursor is currently in.

CtagsSideKick has an interesting history. Before, there was CodeBrowser plugin and I asked the author to please turn it into a proper SideKick plugin. So he did, and we called it CTagsSideKick, and you can't download CodeBrowser anymore because it is no longer maintained.  I like CtagsSideKick much better because we don't need another dockable to use it.

Update: I found the setting! CtagsSideKick does indeed display the same information but in a different way. Here it is compared to SnoutKick..

I just tried out CtagsSideKick, it looks very comprehensive but it was unable to find my ctags install and had no way of specifying it's location. So sadly I can't test it.

Anyway, having choices is always good  I see no reason why you can't have two plugins that do similar things?

Why would someone use this instead of CtagsSideKick?

Note that the source package linked contains a selection of plugins but I'm only intending to release SnoutKick from the sub-directory of the same name.

Hopefully I've filled out everything correctly, I had to hack the "Create Plugin Announcement" plugin to get it working with the latest Java runtime, so finger crossed!

Finally: Thank-you dev team for making JEdit. I've used it for many years and it's absolutely the best editor for my work! 😁

Given the error message I'd say delete the `test/module-info.java` file 
that you added and probably forgot about.
Only the presence of that explains the error message to me from a 
cursory look
and with it I can exactly reproduce the message you get with any Java 
version,
while with clean `master` state it works fine here, tested with 11, 17, 
24, and 25.

**[bugs:#4148] jEdit 5.7: Bug in Save-Dialog**

**Status:** open
**Group:** normal bug
**Created:** Thu Oct 23, 2025 05:26 AM UTC by Gilward Kukel
**Last Updated:** Thu Oct 23, 2025 05:26 AM UTC

jEdit 5.7.0
Java 15.0.2
Windows 10

Steps:

* make file ab.txt
* make new file
* do "save"
* in the save-dialog:
    * click on the file ab.txt
    * change the text in the file name field from ab.txt to a.txt
    * click "save"
 
jEdit asks if you want to overwrite ab.txt instead of saving the new file to a.txt.

- **status**: open-invalid --> closed-invalid
- **Comment**:

according to your report HTTP is 200 with modified or unmodified account id, but json is status: "ok" with unmodified and "error" with modified account id. So it doesn't look like the changed account id was accepted.
Again, it has nothing to do with jEdit. I'm closing the ticket now.
