I'm using this plugin as a markdown plugin in IntelliJ. I tried to make a quick unordered list, but the button is grayed out. In fact, most of the buttons are grayed out. The only ones available to me are simple functions like bold, italics, strikethrough, etc. Here's a screenshot for reference:
I've tried highlighting sections of text, moving my keyboard cursor around, different kinds of markdown--all without any luck of "unlocking" the lists, tables, etc. so I must be doing something wrong. Anyone know?
Enabling the enhanced features using trial license
Goto http://vladsch.com/product/markdown-navigator/try and get a trial license (which will be e-mailed to you).
Then in Intellij, goto Settings -> Language and Frameworks. I noticed that there was already a license installed for me after first installing the Markdown Navigator plugin. However, based on the available features this license is the Basic version only (and had a validity of 73 days for me).
Click on Remove License and then paste the license code that you received in the e-mail. After that you should see this:
From the comments on the official markdown plugin page, it appears that the official plugin is not very stable.
Other free options
I have found the Markdown Navigator plugin to be quite useful and well worth the 20 USD per annum fees. However, if you are looking for just that one off editing of markdown files, then there are other options as well.
The one I find most convenient is the online StackEdit for quick editing tasks:
Best of both the worlds
If your work involves a bit more frequent editing of markdown files and you are averse to paying the licensing fees for for the Markdown Navigator, then with just a bit of work, it's possible and comes close to the convenience of using the Markdown Navigator.
Step 1 - Add an external editor of choice
I have used Typora as an example here, however there are others like Write (Freemium), ReText (Open Source) which can be used in a similar manner.
Here is how to add Typora as an external tool in Intellij Idea:
Note that $Filepath$ should be quoted as "$FilePath$" if there are likely to be spaces in your project path. Would recommend quoting nonetheless.
Also, note that the Group was set to Markdown Editors. This is significant as the Group name will be the name of the Menu item later on.
Step 2 : (Optional but recommended) Add a keyboard shortcut for Typora
Step 3 : Use the external editor!
Typora will now be available both using the keyboard shortcut or using Tools -> Markdown Editors (Remember that Markdown Editors was the name of the group in Step1?)
The following shows using both the keyboard shortcut and the menu item:
Note that, thanks to Intellij's auto-reload/refresh, as soon as you are done editing in Typora and focus the file (Readme.md in the above), the changes are automatically reflected there.
Kind of Enhanced Features will be available only if you have license.
In IntelliJ File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Markdown in License Information section you can buy it or use free trial for 15 days.

Dose anyone know how to change language on xwiki?
I followed this link below, but, nothing change at all.
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/I18N
The step is following.
Go to XWikiPreferences.
Click content.
Click localization.
Change SUPPORTED LANGUAGES and default language.
I am Japanese so I choose Japanese, namely 日本語.
Set timezone
Click on save button.
Environment: Centos 6
java 1.8.0
xwiki 10.1
Do I have to take another action when I want to change language?
Best regards,
TL;DR: It worked, but unfortunately XWiki's User Interface is not yet translated into Japanese. Check by editing a page and looking at the editor's labels.
Longer answer:
As you can see from the link you mentioned (and the updated list http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/ - see the "Supported Languages" panel, on the right), XWiki does not list Japanese as supported language. This just means that there are no available translations for that language, so the User Interface will show the text labels in the English default.
This does not stop you from setting your wiki, as you did, to use the Japanese language. One way to check that the setting has taken effect is to edit a page and see the WYSIWYG editor's UI showing labels (like when hovering with the mouse over its buttons) in Japanese. This is a bit of a special case, since that editor provides its own translations and it just happens that it includes Japanese. (for information, that component is a 3rd party project, integrated into XWiki, so it manages its own translations that get distributed and integrated with the editor)
Additionally, if you set your wiki to be multilingual, it makes sense to use even languages where the UI is not translated yet because you will be able to edit various translations for the same page, should your usecase need that feature.
If you want to do something about it, you are welcomed to check out the translations wiki http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/ and start translating XWiki's UI for the Japanese language. The next release will include your translations and a lot of people, including yourself, will be grateful for it :)
I'm trying to switch to Atom as my programming editor so that I can gain handy features like linting for Perl, JavaScript, etc. However, over the last two decades, I've used a string of editors (UltraEdit, jEdit, BBEdit) that allowed me to add individual files from different folders into projects. My main coding project actually spans several remote SFTP servers and the "folders" in my BBEdit project do not necessarily correspond to any file structure on disk.
I cannot seem to figure out how to set up a project in this manner in Atom (or similar editors such as Brackets). Is there a way to configure Atom and its extensions to produce a result similar to an UltraEdit/jEdit/BBEdit/Komodo project? I thought about creating a new project directory and symlinking to the real files, but that seems like a hack at best.
I belive its File > Open Project or something like that. I personally like Sublime Text 3 but Atom and Sublime are the same.
The best solution I have found so far would be to install opened-files package. By default it persists all files you have opened (even after you close them) until you close atom editor. I don't think it would work well for bigger projects as it lists all the files under one tab in tree view.
If you want to persist open files you might want to use project-manager package. To keep files listed under 'Opened files' tab after you close them (and atom), you need to press bookmark icon next to tab name. Once you add the project it auto-saves file structure when you close atom. To add project to project-manager write project-manager save in command palette. To list all projects from project manager press shift-alt-P.
Currently, all of my project files are indented with 4 spaces. I want to change that to 2 spaces as my organization uses 2 as an standard, but can't find any answers.
Depending on your version of IDEA, it should be in your settings under:
Editor > Code Style > (Specific language)
**Edit: Example, in IDEA 2016:
If you don't see it there, I found mine by searching "indent" in the settings window.
Finally, for organization-wide code settings, I highly recommend EditorConfig. It's compatible with just about every IDE out there and lets you enforce code style settings without requiring everyone to manually change their settings to match. IDEA supports it out of the box, without a plugin.
Essentially, I want to export the code style settings from IntelliJ (the default one is fine) and use them in Checkstyle. (It's for a maven build validation kind of thing that is already setup, but we want to use IntelliJ's code style, not Sun's or Googles)
Step one should be to export the IntelliJ code style. Easier said than done, it seems.
Now, I know there is a lot of material on this on both SO and other places, but I simply cannot find the code style xml file anywhere, not even after using "copy to project" or "save as..." in the IntelliJ settings code style dialog.
I also tried exporting code style through the IntelliJ File menu, but it will only export the code style from areas that have changed (eg. change tab space from 4 to 2 and it will only export the "OTHER_INDENT_OPTIONS" part of the code style).
I should add that I'm using IDEA 14.1.4.
Is it possible to export the complete IntelliJ code style?
Unfortunately it is not possible to do what you want for (at least) three reasons, the first two of which you have already raised:
While is possible to export a code style file from Intellij IDEA using File->Settings->Code Style->Java->{Click the Settings icon}->Select Export... from the popup menu, that exported XML file only contains the changes you have made from the default settings.
Those exported settings are in a format that is only meaningful to Intellij, so even if you could export every single Java code style setting to an XML file, you would then have to massively edit that file to make it meaningful to CheckStyle.
Finally, note that there is an open request for Intellij to do exactly what you want. See IDEA-149529:
Current export functionality for Code Styles is lacking. Only useful
for other users of IntelliJ or as a backup. Only exports the diff
between user defined settings and the built-in default. This makes it
very difficult to produce a matching style for other
formatting/beautification tools.
It would be helpful if the export had the option of exports ALL the
settings IDEA uses.
However, there is an alternative approach. Instead of providing an Intellij IDEA file to Checkstyle, provide a Checkstyle file to Intellij IDEA...
Install the Checkstyle plugin, and then open two sets of one or more duplicated files in Intellij IDEA, one set configured to use IDEA's formatting and one set configured to Checkstyle's formatting.
Repeatedly tweak the Checkstyle settings until its opened file(s) are formatted to conform to the corresponding files formatted by IDEA. When the sets of files match create a Checkstyle XML rules file. Tedious, but only a one time activity.
Finally, you can then import your customized CheckStyle XML rules file into Intellij Idea, using Import Scheme -> CheckStyle Configuration as as shown in the screen shot below (if, and only if, you have installed the CheckStyle-IDEA plugin). This functionality did not exist when the OP was created. For more details see the following bug report: IDEA-61520 Codestyle from Checkstyle and in particular the response from JetBrains dated 2/8/16.

SO post IntelliJ IDEA code format from checkstyle configuration
I was looking for an answer to this too. I suppose you want to add it to your build process like I do. Since I saw no value in enforcing something that can't be automated, I settled on (haven't implemented yet) executing the style formatter as a pre-commit hook (I use git) https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/command-line-formatter.html against all files in the changelist. I use the defaults too, and this would be enough.
Since I don't have any customizations, I would not know if an exported code style xml would run the default in addition to the diff in the xml. Either way, there's no point in enforcing code style rules that can't be automated.
Is there a text editor that will let me shade certain code blocks with specific colors so I can easily find them later? Bookmarks are great, but I also wanted to shade with the same color all code blocks which are somehow related to each other.
and
When my current text editors autocreate curly braces or parentheses for me and I type what I want in between them, are there any that let me either jump to the end of the line to put a semicolon there, or "return" to type the next line, or do I always have to use the arrow key to get out of the curly braces? Perhaps there is a shortcut I'm missing?
I think about every code editor, including Notepad++, has bookmarks. If you're looking for a more complete IDE, it probably depends on the language you're using. For .NET languages that is Visual Studio, but you probably would have known that. For PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS, you can use Netbeans for PHP. Netbeans is also available for Java. It is a rich editor, and I think one of the best free general purpose IDE's available.
Marking pieces of code in colors is unknown to me. I've never seen an editor that supports this. You would also need a project in which to store the start and end points of these blocks, unless you would save them as comments or so in the file itself.
Visual Studio knows regions which you can define by a start tag and an end tag. You can collapse and unfold an entire region at once, making it quite easy to navigate through larger files.
But these regions are actually part of the code file, so you cannot use this for any file, because those region markers will probably make the file invalid.
I'm still wondering why any other shortcut key would be easier or more convenient than 'arrow down'..
