Re: Easy way to open .html files in BBEdit vs. browser?

[Tom Robinson]

That key combination is the standard Finder shortcut for opening a file and 
closing the current window :]

(Same as option double-click)

Yes, I saw that (because of the time difference I was still asleep at the time 
:)

Services are a good solution, especially since you can create your own with 
Automator. But as you saw, there is only a limited number of shortcuts that you 
can use...

Feel free to do so.

Thank you for this suggestion and for the detailed instructions.

I already solved this by using a keyboard shortcut with the "Open File in 
BBEdit" service, as Roland Küffner suggested, but I may use your solution for a 
similar problem I have with a different application (opening some PDFs in 
Preview instead of Acrobat).

Thank you for the tip -- I appreciate your help.

In Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > Open File in BBEdit (macOS 10.13.6), the 
box for that item was already checked and I created the shortcut 
Command-Option-O.

When I highlight an .htm file and use the shortcut, though, the Finder window 
where the file is located closes and the file opens in Safari, not BBEdit.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Easy way to open .html files in BBEdit vs. browser?

[David Brostoff]

Usually I want .html files to open in a web browser, but often I want them to 
open in BBEdit. 

Dragging files to the BBEdit icon in the Dock or using File > Open can get 
tedious though.

Is there a way to make this easier, preferably via a keyboard shortcut?

Thank you,

David

Re: Any tricks to set the non-default value of "Strip trailing whitespace" for an individual file?

[F. Alfredo Rego]

BINGO!

That [*] did it. Of course. Obvious in retrospect.

Thanks, Jim.

Hello everyone,

...for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, 
"threadwhacking" (or "threadjacking") refers to the practice of 
replying to a message in an existing thread with something 
completely unrelated, frequently while changing the subject line 
at the same time.


(Just like I did in this very message, to prove the point. The 
list mom is here to preserve democracy, not to practice it.)


Apart from being a breach of netiquette, threadwhacking buries 
your post where it may not be seen except by accident.


It also confuses readers who are using the Google Groups web 
interface, as well as readers who are using email clients that 
pay attention to the email reference headers that are used to 
connect posts into a thread.


If you want to bring up an issue that is not related to the 
current thread, start a new message from scratch, *without 
replying to a message in the thread*.


If you aren't sure whether what you're about to say is related 
to the current thread, start a new message from scratch, 
*without replying to a message in the thread*.


If you can't remember the posting address for the list, put this 
in your address book (Contacts.app or other):

No "mea culpa" or apology is necessary. If you didn't know 
before, you do now, and ignorance will no longer be a valid defense.


Grumpily yours,

[Jim Danner]

Shouldn't you have a line that contains 
[*]

before the trim_trailing_whitespace line? It seems so from the example on 
the Editorconfig homepage.

Re: Any tricks to set the non-default value of "Strip trailing whitespace" for an individual file?

[Oliver Boermans]

BBEdit has support for https://editorconfig.org/ which allows this and
other settings to be customised per directory or based on file name.
Has been a while since I read the appropriate portion of the BBEdit User
Manual (Find it in the help menu, recommended!), but it may be necessary to
be working in BBEdit project for this to work.

Hope this gets you on the path.
Cheers Ollie
