Hi,
you could replace the default "Go to Next Placeholder" functionality (=
pressing TAB) by a custom script that removes the Placeholder syntax
"<#...#>" and jumps to the next Placeholder.
I tried to record a quick and dirty Applescript that worked on my (very
basic) tests:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
replace "<#(.+?)#>" using "\\1" searching in selection of text window 1
options {search mode:grep}
end tell
tell application "System Events" to keystroke " "
Please mind that the keystroke command in the last line has a literal tab
in it's string – you could also use keystroke (ASCII character 9)
The placeholder must already be selected (probably by having pressed TAB).
All you would have to to is to save such a script, give it a keyboard
shortcut, jump to the first placeholder (TAB) and use your shortcut from
there,
Not ideal, but maybe better than removing them brackets with bare hands.
Regards
Roland
