There is a new app available called QuickCursor which will allow you to edit text in *any* editable field using BBEdit.
If you have ever wished that you could use BBEdit to edit text in other applications, but found it was a pain to open the document in one app, copy it app, paste it to BBEdit, make your changes, and then paste it back into the original app, this is for you. Do you ever edit text in a CMS? Ever lost work because the browser crashed on you and you hadn't "saved" your work? With QuickCursor you can save in BBEdit as often as you like. It waits until you close the BBEdit window before pasting the text back to the original app (and if for some reason it can't get it back to the original app, it throws up an immediate alert and puts the text on the clipboard so it won't be lost. You can see a (40 second) screencast here (be sure to make it full-screen so you can actually see what's happening): http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor on the Mac App Store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickcursor/id404035899?mt=12 I am absolutely unrelated to the app in any way except that when I saw the screencast back in November, I begged for an early version, have been using it since then, and absolutely love it. It was my first Mac App Store purchase (as in, I had a free version of it and I then paid $5 for it) and I included it in my favorite apps of 2010: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/23/the-best-mac-applications-i-used-in-2010 I thought it might be of-interest to folks here. TjL ps - it apparently works with something called "other text editors" too :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
