If Firefox doesn’t understand the codepage, then it should return an error…but I haven’t played with it much since UTF-8 is soooo much easier to use.

I tried to figure out what codepage sets are supported but can’t find any information about it.

I need to use Win32pad for specific reasons, but Win32pad doesn’t support UTF-8. Therefore, which character set would I have to use in It’s All Text in order for it to work correctly with Win32pad (including German Umlauts)?

Thanks already heaps for help,

Glad it’s working!

@docwhat
I really appreciate the quick reply. Thanks!

After adding the %1 to fix the most salient issue, I resolved the multiple-instance problem by adding the -reuseview switch to the startup command, i.e.

“C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe” -jar “C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar” -reuseview %1

It now works like a dream and will make my work with MODx (where your plugin is highly recommended) much easier!

As for the rest, I honestly don’t know. I don’t use jedit or even Java. So I’m not sure how to tell it to open an existing instance instead of a new one. The web page at http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/cli-usage.html implies there is a jedit command line tool that will do this for you, somehow.

I’ll talk to you off-line about the comment threading.

“C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe” -jar “C:\Program Files\jEdit\jedit.jar”

And point IAT to that cmd file instead of the jEdit program itself. The original poster of this question reported that the solution worked; for me, however, there are two problems:

1. It opens the jEdit text editor but doesn’t load my text!
2. It opens a new instance of jEdit instead of a new buffer in my already-running instance.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I don’t know if you’re aware of this issue, but the font display of comment threads here is completely messed up in Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7. The font looks so bad I can just barely read it and had to zoom in just to type this. Thought you might want to know

Allow setting default extension based on the server domain.

I could then set tiddlyspot.com to use .tw and wikipedia.org to use .mediawiki – allowing me to detect filetype and automatically use the correct syntax highlighting in vim – whilst leaving other domains to use .txt

I’m sure this feature would also be useful for bloggers, who might want some slightly different behaviour for blog entry than for other editing tasks.

I use this: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnuClient
Specifically, I configure IAT to call dtemacs.

Emacs Wiki is an awesome place for finding out neat emacs tricks and such.

Under Carbon Emacs on the Mac, issue (server-start) inside Emacs,
e.g. from your Emacs initialize file, then in IAT set the editor to
/usr/bin/emacsclient. That’s all it takes! I have also set up hotkeys
so with one keystroke I can jump from my Gmail compose window to a new
frame in an already-running Emacs, and with another keystroke, which
calls (server-done), I can jump back to my compose window with newly
edited text.

I love it!

Works great now.

P.S. Sorry not to get back to you sooner. I appreciate the rapid response.

When I put:
/usr/bin/open -a ~/iat.sh
into the editor in IAT’s preferences. I get “The path does not exist”.

The editor field needs to only have a single script. You can’t pass additional arguments.

If you want to use the shell script, then just put in “/Users/foobar/iat.sh“.

Alternatively, you can run Aquamacs and from the menu choose “Tools” -> “Install Command Line Tool”

Then you can just enter “/usr/bin/aquamacs” in the editor field.

Ciao!

I’m another Mac user having trouble getting this going.

Latest version of Leopard
Latest Firefox
Latest It’s all text

Trying to get IAT to use Aquamacs

IAT works fine when I let it default to textedit.

Created the following script to connect to Aquamacs

#!/bin/sh
# This is an example shell script for It’s All Text!

if [ ! -f "$@" ]; then
touch “$@”
fi

open -a /Applications/Aquamacs/”Aquamacs Emacs.app” “$@”

The script starts Aquamacs when I run it from the shell in the terminal.

When I put:

/usr/bin/open -a ~/iat.sh

into the editor in IAT’s preferences. I get “The path does not exist”.

I’m sure there is something simple I’m doing wrong but if someone could offer some
help I’d appreciate it.

Thanks for any help.

John

P.S. The tool works swell with textedit; I’d like to be able to use the emacs wikipedia mode though.

The first thing I’d try is moving the edit button to a different corner. This fixes certain sites, depending on how they were written. I suspect they are using YUI and it’s probably getting upset that the autocomplete container is being moved.

Otherwise, feel free to open a bug at http://trac.gerf.org/itsalltext about it. Even if I don’t fix it ASAP, someone may give you a work around.

Ciao!
