Hey all,
I just wrote out a script that lets me choose the document language
with keystrokes. It's dead-simple, but I do this enough to make it
worthwhile. I hope someone else can find it useful.
tell application "BBEdit"
try
set cur_lang to source language of first window
set desired_lang to choose from list {"PHP", "HTML", "VBScript",
"Perl", "XML", "(none)", "(automatic)"} with prompt "Select document
language" with title "Choose Language" default items {cur_lang} with
empty selection allowed without multiple selections allowed
set source language of first window to desired_lang
on error
display dialog "There is no window"
end try
end tell
The prompt supports typeahead too, so you could potentially fill this
thing up with all your available languages and get typeahead access
to all of them. I don't think there's a list of installed source
languages available to Applescript, or I would have used that.
Note: I've only tested this in BBEdit 8 and Mac OS 10.4.5. I think
it should work in a variety of versions, though.
Joe
P.S. I don't want your pity for having VBScript in that list. :)
