JedState

Hooks for the JED editor to remember its cursor position across invocations.

Installation

ArchLinux

ArchLinux user can install AUR/jedstate-git using an AUR helper, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Manual installation

1. Put the jedstate.sl file in a place where jed can find it, e.g. $JED_ROOT/lib/ (/usr/lib/jed/lib/). If you do not have write access to $JED_ROOT, simply append jedstate.sl to your ~/.jedrc.
2. Append the jedstate-hooks.sl file to your existing ~/.jedrc file. If you are already using startup_hook() and/or exit_hook() you may have to edit these to something that resembles the sample hooks.

JedState stores its state files in the directory pointed to by $JED_STATE_HOME, creating it if necessary. JedState will try these locations:

1. $JED_STATE_HOME
2. $XDG_STATE_HOME/jed
3. $HOME/.local/state/jed

You can use something like /dev/shm/$USER/jed if you do not wish to keep the state files across reboots.

Notes

JedState was conceived in 1996 and originally implemented in C. A later incarnation was implemented in Python. The current implementation is using jed's builtin scripting language, S-Lang, and has no external dependencies.

JedState has only been tested on Linux probably require a unix-like environment.
