Re: [jed-users] Is jed-users still active?

[Roland Hughes <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use Jed quite a bit for batch scripts.  Yours is the first message I 
have received since joining this list.  While I like jed, I have to 
admit NONE of the doc seems to have even the faintest connection with 
the version of jed shipping with Mint 17.  Few, if any, of the sites and 
links which turn up Jed tricks and configuration scripts turn ones up 
which actually function.  While I have been able to get Home key to go 
to beginning of line and End key to go to end, not one of the 
recommended methods of getting <ctrl><Home> to goto top of buffer or 
<ctrl><End> to go to bottom work with this version.

Not that it has much relevance to your question, but this is what I have 
for a .jedrc file.

require ("keydefs");
%require ("wmark.sl");
setkey ("bol", Key_Home);
setkey ("eol", Key_End);
setkey ("beg_of_buffer", Key_Ctrl_Home);
setkey ("end_of_buffer", Key_Ctrl_End);

USE_TABS = 0;
TAB_DEFAULT = 4;
WRAP = 0;
