Hi Jim,
Thanks a bunch. Back to hacking for me now :)

Hi,
I'm not sure about question 1.
EdSharp is able to indent automatically. Open the docs with F1 and look for
infer indent.

Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot for breaking it down :) Still got a few issues though.
- When debugging, I don't get a list of errors where I can press "Enter" to
go to each error. Currently, focus automatically moves to the 1st error on my
list after compiling.
- Do you know if EdSharp automatically indents the code, or do I have to do
this manually?
Thanks again for your patience.
Regards,
LU

Hi,
This answer is in two parts. The first is for compiling. The second is for
running.
First, compiling. To choose the Java compiler, you would use Control +
Shift + F5, then pick Java from the list of compilers. Once I do that, I like
to bring the files I'm working on into the program and press Control + L to put
them in the list of favorites. EdSharp has an available favorites list for each
compiler. Be careful that you keep checking the folder you are in with Alt + 0
on the top row of your keyboard. Anyway, what I do is keep the book I'm reading
and the program I'm working on in my favorites list. But in my case, I'm
working on Python, but the idea is the same. If you need to remove a file from
the favorites list, bring it into the editor and use Control + Shift + L. Use
Alt + L to get a list of current favorites. If you put a book mark in any file
with Control + K, EdSharp automaticalyy adds it to the favorites list. You can
have multiple bookmarks per file. You clear the book mark you land on with
Control + Shift + K. You jump to book marks with Alt + K. If you have one
bookmark in a file, EdSharp jumps directly to it. If you have more than one, it
brings up a list of them for you to pick from. A book mark is tied to an exact
location, not a line, so you have to be on the exact spot for the book mark to
get cleared.
Once you edit your program, you would compile it with the Control + F5 key
stroke. If you get errors, fix them. I think you can press Enter on an error
and jump to it, but I forget.
The next part of the answer is about running the program. For this, I feel
that it's best to get a command prompt. I am assuming that you will run the
program from the folder in which you've saved it. To do that, use Control + 0
in EdSharp. This brings up a dialog with buttons in it from which you can pick
a folder. When it opens, focus will be on a button that says Current. That
represents the directory that your program is in. Press Enter.
You'll get a command prompt. To run your program, type something like this:
java Program.java
Where program is the name of your program.
One more thing. If you happen to need to change the command line that you
send to a compiler in EdSharp, you can change it temporarily by using Control +
Shift + C. A dialog of choices opens.
If you want to change it permanently, you can use Alt + Shift + M. This
brings up a dialog of buttons from which you can choose to load an ini file.
The choice focus lands on is Main. This is what you want, so press Enter. Once
the file opens, search for the string [compilers. Then scroll down to java.
Change to your liking.
And finally, I don't totally understand the syntax of the compiler lines,
so if I want to change or add one, I use one of the ones that are already there
as a model.
And one more thing while I'm at it. You don't actually have to run a
compiler with this list as you can see by the default choice at the top of the
list. You can simply duplicate a line if you want to keep a collection of
favorites together.
Hopefully, this set of instructions is clear enough to help you get going
on this.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: EdSharp and Java
Hello,
Apologies if this seems obvious but I have read the help files for EdSharp
& the programming section is a bit too technical for me to understand. I am
currently learning Java & will like to know the following about EdSharp:
- How do I see the results of my code when I run it? When I run, JAWS just
says "DONE" if there are no bugs in my code
- How do I read error messages when I am debugging my code?
- How do I jump from one error to another when debugging?
- Apart from the features/ help documentation, are there any other
resources I can read to learn how to use EdSharp better?
- Can someone who uses EdSharp for Java contact me off list?
Thanks in advance. Regards,
LU
