I am looking for a string that I can paste into AWS search(searching volumes for example) in browser so I can look for volume names/id's either like "foo" or like "bar", so in essence "if in array" type of search.
I tried multiple approaches and fail on every one. Only thing that I can do is paste my string, hit enter, paste another one, hit enter, its feasible for 2 strings but not for 10.
TL;DR: \bFOO|\bBAR
If you click the "?" button in the search field (at least in EC2) you get a "search help" view describing advanced usages of the search bar:
This help page shows that you can use regular expressions. This one should work for your use case: \bFOO|\bBAR

I haven't been able to figure this out yet. Atom seems to use spaces as the default indentation mode. I prefer to have tabs instead though. Sublime Text has built in functionality for switching and converting indentation.
Anyone found out how to change the indentation mode of Atom?
Some screenshots from Sublime Text:
See Soft Tabs and Tab Length under Settings > Editor Settings.
To toggle indentation modes quickly you can use Ctrl-Shift-P and search for Editor: Toggle Soft Tabs.
Go to File -> Settings
There are 3 different options here.
Soft Tabs
Tab Length
Tab Type
I did some testing and have come to these conclusions about what each one does.
Soft Tabs - Enabling this means it will use spaces by default (i.e. for new files).
Tab Length - How wide the tab character displays, or how many spaces are inserted for a tab if soft tabs is enabled.
Tab Type - This determines the indentation mode to use for existing files. If you set it to auto it will use the existing indentation (tabs or spaces). If you set it to soft or hard, it will force spaces or tabs regardless of the existing indentation. Best to leave this on auto.
Note: Soft = spaces, hard = tab
Add this to your ~/.atom/config.cson
editor:
tabLength: 4
OS X:
Go to Atom -> prefrences or CMD + ,
Scroll down and select "Tab Length" that you prefer.
You could try going to "Atom > Preferences > Editor" and set Tab length to 4.
This is for mac. For windows you will have to find the appropriate menu.
Adding #Manbroski answer here that worked for me:
try Ctrl-Shift-P Editor: Toggle Soft Tabs
Late to the party, but a clean way to do this on a per-project basis, is to add a .editorconfig file to the root of the project. Saves you from having to change Atom's settings when you're working on several projects simultaneously.
This is a sample of a very basic setup I'm currently using. Works for Atom, ST, etc...
http://editorconfig.org/
# Automatically add new line to end of all files on save.
[*]
insert_final_newline = true
# 2 space indentation for SASS/CSS
[*.{scss,sass,css}]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
# Set all JS to tab => space*2
[js/**.js]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
This is built into core: See Settings ⇒ Tab Type and choose auto:
When set to "auto", the editor auto-detects the tab type based on the contents of the buffer (it uses the first leading whitespace on a non-comment line), or uses the value of the Soft Tabs config setting if auto-detection fails.
You may also want to take a look at the Auto Detect Indentation package. From the docs:
Automatically detect indentation of opened files. It looks at each opened file and sets file specific tab settings (hard/soft tabs, tab length) based on the content of the file instead of always using the editor defaults.
You might have atom configured to use 4 spaces for tabs but open a rails project which defaults to 2 spaces. Without this package, you would have to change your tabstop settings globally or risk having inconsistent lead spacing in your files.
I just had the same problem, and none of the suggestions above worked. Finally I tried unchecking "Atomic soft tabs" in the Editor Settings menu, which worked.
If you are using the version 1.21.1:
Click on Packages / Settings View / Open
Select "Editor" on the left side panel
Scrool down until you see "Tab Length"
Edit the value. I like to set it to 4.
Now, just close the active tab pane and you are done.
Tab Control gives nice control in a similar manner to that described in your question.
Also nice, for JavaScript developers, is ESLint Tab Length for using ESLint config.
Or if you're using an .editorconfig for defining project-specific indentation rules, there is EditorConfig
If you're using Babel you may also want to make sure to update your "Language Babel" package. For me, even though I had the Tab Length set to 2 in my core editor settings, the Same setting in the Language Babel config was overriding it with 4.
Atom -> Preferences -> Packages -> (Search for Babel) -> Grammar -> Tab Length
Make sure the appropriate Grammar, There's "Babel ES6 Javascript Grammar", "language-babel-extension Grammar" as well as "Regular Expression". You probably want to update all of them to be consistent.
If global tab/spaces indentation settings no longer fit your needs (I.E. you find yourself working with legacy codebases with varied indentation formats, and you need to quickly switch between them, and the auto-detect isn't working) you might try the tab-control plugin, which sort of duplicates the functionality of the menu in your screenshot.
When Atom auto-indent-detection got it hopelessly wrong and refused to let me type a literal Tab character, I eventually found the 'Force-Tab' extension - which gave me back control.
I wanted to keep shift-tab for outdenting, so set ctrl-tab to insert a hard tab. In my keymap I added:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-tab': 'force-tab:insert-actual-tab'
Changing language-specific configuration
I changed the default tab settings, and it still did not impact when I was editing my files, which were Python files. It also did not change when I modified the "*" setting in ~/.atom/config.cson . I don't have a good explanation for either of those.
However, when I added the following to my config.cson, I was able to change the tab in my Python files to 2 spaces:
'.source.python':
editor:
tabLength: 2
Thanks to this resource for the solution: Tab key not respecting tab length
All of the most popular answers on here are all great answers and will turn on spaces for tabs, but they are all missing one thing. How to apply the spaces instead of tabs to existing code.
To do this simply select all the code you want to format, then go to Edit->Lines->Auto Indent and it will fix everything selected.
Alternatively, you can just select all the code you want to format, then use Ctrl Shift P and search for Auto Indent. Just click it in the search results and it will fix everything selected.
Yet another answer: If you are using Atom Beautify note that it has its own settings to determine the "Indent Char".
Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on writing plugins for Jedit? I have a pipedream of using Jedit as an editor for SAS. Currently, it does syntax highlighting, but I feel it is or could be made better by fleshing out the ideas better.
A couple questions:
Can you enable tab completion in Jedit?
Can you specify "environments" that begin and end with certain syntax? (For instance, the word "keep" makes sense between the lines data xxx; and run; but not between proc sort data=xxx; and run; So highlighting it there would be counter-instructive to inexperienced coders.
Can you store variables in a work place and reference them from a drop down menu (such as variable names in a dataset)
Can you execute code from the shell/terminal and pipe .log files back into the Jedit message window?
Are you talking about something like Microsoft's Intellisense or autocomplete? If so, a poor-man's approximation to auto-complete is to use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+b after typing in part of the word. It will complete the word based on all the words from all buffers that are open. See this questions for more on autocomplete.
In your syntax highlighting, you can create delegate syntax for different chunks of code so that it will be highlighted according to different rules. grep in your jedit's mode directory for "delegate".
Not exactly sure what you want, but jedit does keep track of a bunch of your latest copies from the text. Emacs calls this a "kill ring". For my jedit setup, I have Paste Previous... bound to ctrl+e ctrl+v. I believe that is the default shortcut binding. This will show you your last ~20 copies of text chunks and you can select which copy text chunk you want to use.
Yes, you can execute tasks in the shell and pipe them back into jedit. See this question. The following is how I do bk edit and reload a buffer. It doesn't get output from the shell, but it does execute a shell command:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.io.File;
File f = new File(buffer.getPath());
String SCCS_path = f.getParent()+"/SCCS";
String bk_path = "/usr/local/bin/bk";
if ( !new File(SCCS_path).exists()) {
bk_path = "/usr/bin/bk";
}
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
bk_path+ " edit "+
buffer.getPath());
Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000);
buffer.reload(view);
Btw, macros are very powerful in jedit. You can record what you are doing in jedit with Macros->Record Macro...and it will generate the equivalent script.
I have a file open dialog box that has a three stage filter option of <exact_name>.<ext>, *.<ext>, and 'all files|*.*', and it's working fine.
However we now have a case where we have two variants of <exact_name>.<ext> file, where one is simply a few more characters longer, e.g. <date>_<time>.txt and <date>_<time>_raw.txt.
Unfortunately the previous filter no longer works because the open file dialog presents both versions to the user, leading to possible user confusion, mis-clicking etc.
Is there a method e.g. similar to RegEx, for the setting the file open dialog's filter, e.g. ^<date>_<time>$.txt that will only find the exact match as my first filter in the selection?
[EDIT] That is, are there any extra wild card options beyond the * and ?. I'd forgotten about ? but using it doesn't appear to be a help in this case.
Filters in Windows Open File dialog boxes are only meant to filter on specific file extensions, not anything more specific. Even though you may find a way to hack the Open File dialog to get this to work, it definitely won't be what Windows users are expecting.
Can't you change the file extension to .rawtxt or something like that?
I've been using ctags in Vim for years, but I've only just discovered omnicomplete. (It seems good.)
However, I have a problem: to get omnicomplete working properly I have to use the --extra=+q option when generating the tags, which is fine, but this then changes the behaviour of general tag browsing in ways that I do not like.
For example, when tab-completing tag names in Vim I don't want to tag "into" the "hierarchies" of classes - that is, when tab completing "Clas" get "ClassA, ClassA::var1, ClassA::var2, ClassB", instead of "ClassA, ClassB" - but that's what happens when using --extra=+q.
So I guess I'm after one of two things. Either:
1. The ability to disable tab-completing into "tag hierarchies" even though those hierarchies do exist in the tags file. Or,
2. The ability to use differently named tags files (ie. generated with different options) for omnicomplete and general tag browsing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

OK, I think I've actually come up with an answer to my own question.
Firstly, I generate two tags files: tags_c_vim and tags_c_omni.
In my _vimrc I have:
let tags_vim='tags_c_vim'
let tags_omni='tags_c_omni'
exe "set tags=".tags_vim
to setup some variables pointing to the different tags files, and to set the "vim" tags to be the default tags.
Then I also have this, again in the _vimrc:
imap <F8> <ESC>:exe "set tags=".tags_omni<CR>a<C-X><C-O>
autocmd InsertLeave * if pumvisible() == 0|exe "set tags=".tags_vim|endif
the first line here maps F8 so it changes the tags setting to point to the "omni" tags before then invoking the omnicomplete popup menu, and the second line resets the tags setting to the "vim" tags when insert mode is next left after the popup has closed.
It's going to need some extensive use to make sure it's robust enough, but it does seem to work after some quick testing.
Two improvements I'd still like to make:
Map the setting of the "omni" tags to the omnicomplete C-X,C-O command instead of a new F8 mapping. (I think I need to set the tags and then call omni#cpp#maycomplete#Complete(), but I couldn't work out how to do this)
Hook the resetting of the "vim" tags into either omnicomplete itself finishing or the popup menu closing
Anyway, I just thought I'd share.
Cheers,
thoughton.
You could try the OmniCppComplete plugin.
