Hi Ted, I understand, I too spent some time looking for an approach that was ever so more slightly automagical. Interested to see what you come up with.
It is possible call a script to populate the text within BBEdit clippings: #script /Users/me/example/folder/Script.scpt# Presumably this could open a dialog to present options before the clipping is inserted. Trouble was, I couldn’t see a mechanism to pass arguments to the script upon execution. As a result every clipping would need it’s own script. This makes the shortcuts BBEdit provides to edit and create clippings “on the fly” less useful. I went with requiring an additional shortcut to extract the options. This had the possibly useful side effect of allowing the same mechanism to work on any text selection – not just clipping contents.
