Customising matching brackets functionality
Hi all,
One of the most often used features for me is command-B, finding matching
brackets which does a great job with (, [ and {... however, I often also
would like to find matching command statements as some of the languages I
program in don't use brackets but FOR ENDFOR etc statements.
Is it possible to create a custom set of matching word terminators? i.e.
make it recognise FOR as the opening bracket to a ENDFOR closing
bracket ?
I'm still on version 9.6.3, so if 10 can do it, a reason for an upgrade!
Cheers
- Balt

AppleScript Get contents of lines
I'm working with various selections in a document, and at times the line immediately following the selection needs to be read into a variable for future comparison. Thus, let's say the two below columns represent two different files. This This is is data data x y Let's say my selection encompasses This is data in both files. But, the following line is different. Thus, I can use Applescript to get the lines of selection + 1 to get the line number. I am having difficulty getting the contents of the + 1 line since it isn't part of selection. Any suggestions?

PageUp/PageDown does not work properly in 10.1.1
Hi there, It looks like version 10.1.1 does not have working PageUp/PageDown functionality, which is kind-of unexpected for such advanced text editor. Option+up/down just move cursor to top/bottom line (which is useless btw) instead of jumping up or down one screen while keeping relative cursor position on screen. Could you please fix this? Thanks!

Re: PageUp/PageDown does not work properly in 10.1.1
Hi François, Keys them-selfs work fine (I am using fn-Up/Down combinations on Mac keyboard). But default editor action is to just scroll page up or down without moving cursor up or down - that would be fine is the was other combination of keys that will scroll text along with moving cursor position. I am guessing Option+Up/Down was intend to be used in that way but it does not work as expected: instead of jumping one page up/down and _keeping_ relative screen position of cursor it move cursor to the very top line or to the very bottom line. But this is a really very bad move: as user I almost _never_ need my cursor on top line of screen or on last line of screen - because for editing I need to see context of editing area and having cursor or top or bottom line effectively hide half of the context. So if I press say Option+Up (two times btw because first will just move to top line, and only second one will scroll text) - I most likely will need to move cursor at least few lines down before I can edit anything. So in the end I will have to press at least 5-6 keys just to jump to previous page and start editing. Please note that 99.9% of other text editors have this operation bind to just one key press, including Apple standard TextEdit and Pages (fn+option+up/down will trigger that action). So from user perspective this functionality is clearly broken in BBEdit. Thanks, Erni.

Hey Balt,
You can do pretty much what you want, although the logics can get interesting.
try
tell application BBEdit
tell text of front text window
find \\bFOR\\b options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap
around:false, backwards:true, case sensitive:true, match words:false} with
selecting match
find \\bENDFOR\\b options {search mode:grep, starting at top:false,
wrap around:false, backwards:false, case sensitive:true, match words:false,
extend selection:true} with selecting match
end tell
end tell
on error eMsg number eNum
set {c, s} to {return, --}
set e to s c Error: eMsg c s c Error Number: eNum c
s
beep
display dialog e
end try
This is case-sensitive for FOR...ENDFOR.
It expects the cursor to be between the terminators.
Save the script.
Put it in the Script Menu.
Give it a keyboard shortcut.
And go to town.

Best Regards,
Chris

Hey James,
If I undersand correctly you'll have a selection that looks like this:
OR
try
tell application BBEdit
tell text of front text window
set sel to selection
set textOfSel to contents of selection
repeat while last character of textOfSel is return
set textOfSel to text 1 thru -2 of textOfSel
end repeat
set selLastLine to endLine of sel
set nextLine to selLastLine + 1
set nextLineText to contents of line nextLine
{textOfSel, nextLineText}
end tell
end tell
on error eMsg number eNum
set {c, s} to {return, --}
set e to s c Error: eMsg c s c Error Number: eNum c
s
beep

end try
Pretty straightforward.

Re: Removing file from project list when not found on FTP
The way I handle this problem is to rename the file back to whatever it is in the project file. Then I can remove it from the project without that bug, and afterwards rename it back to the new name. On the other hand, if I accidentally add a directory to the project list as opposed to a file, I know of no way to remove it besides editing the bbprojectdata file. You have to be careful to remove both keys associated with the directory if you do that. There's one key next to the directory entry and one at the top of the file.

Re: Insert Next List Item
Hey Christopher,
Just a minor request to your existing script. This works fantastically if
you line starts with the bullet. Assuming you have some indentation like 4
tab stops and then the bullet, the script stops. I made a couple of mods to
the script as follows:
---
tell application BBEdit
try
tell text of front text window
set lineOfInsertionPoint to line (startLine of selection)
set findReco to find ^\\d+\\. searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set leadingNumber to text 1 thru -2 of (found text of
findReco)
set text of selection to return (leadingNumber + 1)
.
select insertion point after selection
else if found of findReco = false then
set findReco to find ^\\* searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set text of selection to return *
select insertion point after selection
else
set findReco to find ^\\s*\\+ searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set text of selection to return tab +
select insertion point after selection
end if
end if
end if
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
set sep to ==
set e to sep return Error: errMsg return sep
return ¬
Error Number: errNum return sep
beep
display dialog e
end try
end tell
---
Essentially the \s* helps ignore white space at the beginning. There's just
one problem with my script. It inserts the new bullet point ignoring the
previous number of tab stops. Is there a way in applescript to get hold of
the number of tab stops and insert that at the beginning as well?
Thanks again.

Hey Oliver,
This is very quick and dirty, but it'll work with the numerical increment
and the asterisk bullet.
It's expecting the insertion point (cursor) to be at the end of the line,
but it could easily be adjusted so that anywhere in the line would do.
You can put it in the script menu and give it a keyboard shortcut and go

The logic is pretty straightforward, so you can add more characters like
'•' to the mix if desired.

Re: Insert Next List Item
While I don't have the script available at the moment, the Smart New Line
script in the BBEdit Editor Actions Package I linked to a little earlier
(http://www.ranea.org/bbedit_editoractions.html) may be something to look at.
It handles bullets that are - or * at the start of a line and can continue
the list, and handles the current indentation and expand tabs settings
correctly.
It doesn't try to number lists as the one below does, but that might be
something I could add for Markdown.

Re: Insert Next List Item
My Smart Newline script can achieve this. You can examine the code
near the top to see how I capture to white space at the start of the
line if that's all you care about. I also updated the script this
evening to also handle numbered lists, which was part of the original
discussion question, though this is a little late for that I suppose,
but others might find it useful.

the script as follows:
---
tell application BBEdit
try
tell text of front text window
set lineOfInsertionPoint to line (startLine of selection)
set findReco to find ^\\d+\\. searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set leadingNumber to text 1 thru -2 of (found text of
findReco)
set text of selection to return (leadingNumber + 1)
.
select insertion point after selection
else if found of findReco = false then
set findReco to find ^\\* searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set text of selection to return *
select insertion point after selection
else
set findReco to find ^\\s*\\+ searching in
lineOfInsertionPoint options {search mode:grep}
if found of findReco = true then
set text of selection to return tab +
select insertion point after selection
end if
end if
end if
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
set sep to ==
set e to sep return Error: errMsg return sep
return ¬
Error Number: errNum return sep
beep
display dialog e
end try
end tell
---
Essentially the \s* helps ignore white space at the beginning. There's just
one problem with my script. It inserts the new bullet point ignoring the
previous number of tab stops. Is there a way in applescript to get hold of
the number of tab stops and insert that at the beginning as well?
Thanks again.

Hey Oliver,
This is very quick and dirty, but it'll work with the numerical increment
and the asterisk bullet.
It's expecting the insertion point (cursor) to be at the end of the line,
but it could easily be adjusted so that anywhere in the line would do.
You can put it in the script menu and give it a keyboard shortcut and go
to town.
The logic is pretty straightforward, so you can add more characters like
'•' to the mix if desired.
