jEdit/Stata Integration

Below is a description of the commands in the Macros/Stata submenu.

Macro Name	Description
do all	self explanatory
do part	based on the current location of the cursor, do code from the previous break (ie, *---) to the next one. If there is no previous or next break, code executes from the beginning or to the end of the file, respectively.
do selection	do the line that the cursor is on, or all lines that are at least partially selected.
set mode + format	this will switch the editor into "Stata mode", and re-do the indentation.
~ cycle do-type	This is the macro called by the toolbar button described below; it's not intended to be invoked from the menus.
~ setup-reset	This macro needs to be invoked once after installation. Doing it again will reset the syntax highlighting and many other appearance settings and shortcut keys.

Below is a desciption of the toolbar "mode" button. Clicking the button cycles through the four modes. Not the greatest system, I know...

Icon	Mode	Description
	do	Execute code with do command
	trace	Execute code with set trace on
	push	Besides executing in do mode, add code to the review pane.
	run	Execute code with run command

Other Bits

All the shortcut keys in jEdit can be set or changed to your preference. However, on my computer at least, the shortcuts for the do macros don't seem to work if they include the control key. I speculate that it interferes with the alt-keys needed to invoke the user menu in Stata.
When executing code from jEdit, you can select lines without regard to whether they are Mata code or semicolon delimited. The context is recognized, and the lines will be "wrapped" with the proper commands.
The push mode is, so to speak, still in beta. It just adds all the text to the review pane and then executes the whole thing. Someday it will add lines one (or, crucially, a loop) at a time, and then execute the line or loop.
