First download JDK 1.6 and use that to run jEdit. I also add this tweak to the command line:
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true
Also, remove the -server option. No clue if that is gonna help at all in JDK 1.6, but things are blazing fast without it and I assume Swing likes it without.
Next, download these plugins:
- Buffer Tabs
- Project Viewer
- SideKick
- FastOpen
- Ruby (http://rubyjedit.org/download/)
Next, follow the ruby plugin directions to get that up and running. If you are using Java, I would assume that you can find lots of help with that out in the ether.
Also, dock the Project Viewer window on the left of the screen.
I turn on the BufferTabs by default and set them on the right.
Okay, now start binding keys. Here are mine thus far:
Plugin: Project Viewer
| Command | Key |
|---|---|
| Show Project Viewer | Alt+1 |
Plugin: FastOpen
| Command | Key |
|---|---|
| Show Fast Open Window | Ctrl+n |
Built-in commands
| Command | Key |
|---|---|
| Close current docking area | escape |
| Close | Ctrl+F4 |
| Find next | F3 |
| Go to line | Ctrl+g |
| Global Options | Ctrl+Alt+Shift+s |
| Join lines | Ctrl+Shift+j |
This is about all I have thus far, but it looks to be pretty good. I’ll add more as I think of new stuff.
