One of the biggest drawbacks of getting into admin, instead of writing code, is 
that admin-people doesn't like text files ... so much less BBEdit for me, which 
makes me sad (and often frustrated).

How should "overscroll" work?

[Jan Erik Moström]

I got asked today if "type writer mode" was implemented in BBEdit. I was going 
to answer "sure" but then I tried and what I see is that I can continue to type 
and end up at the bottom om the window. Not until I press down arrow the last 
line ended up in the middle of the window.

I have never thought about this, but I think that this person expected that the 
line that is edited is kept in the middle of the window.

Is the possible in BBEdit? (I personally don't like this but ...)

General question: File not found

[Jan Erik Moström]

Hi,

I don't think this is a BBEdit problem, but using BBEdit was how I first 
discovered this. And it doesn't seem to happen with non-text files.

I have files in a folder hierarchy, when I double-click a file to open it I get 
this error message

> File not found (macOS error code: -43).

and

> File not found (macOS error code: -43).
>
> [CApplication.mm:5616]


First I thought it was a problem with Path Finder (which I normally use) but I 
get the same result when I try in Finder.

If I move the enclosing folder to the Desktop I get the same error, but if I 
move the file to the Desktop then I can open it. I tried open the file using 
TextEdit but it doesn't open the file (but I get no error message).

This doesn't happen all the time, sometimes it works. And everything seems just 
fine when using git, the files are checked in etc.

These are regular text files - markdown formatted with .md extension (I haven't 
seen this on any other files ... but I'm mostly using text files). My only 
guess here is that it

The files are all on the internal "disk", I'm using macOS 13.3.1 and Disk 
Utility says everything is OK.

However, I just discovered that there is one common thing for these files: they 
all have enclosing folders with the characters å, ä or ö in them, but this 
shouldn't be a problem should it? Or is it git that is doing something strange 
here?

I'm grateful for any advice.

It's difficult to say since you give no details, what do you want to do in more 
details?

If it's a matter of establishing "photo site" (i.e. a site with photo albums) 
then two apps come to my mind:

- Piwigo -  (web app)
- jAlbum -  (desktop app that creates a web site)

Check site syntax/links

[Jan Erik Moström]

I'm playing with creating a site with some simple tools ... in other words I'm 
hand-coding a site using BBEdit.

I've now finished the site and want to check syntax/links and have two 
questions:

- All files but one are markdown files and I use the deploy command to build 
the HTML files. So the syntax/links check doesn't really work on those files, 
what is the best way to check syntax/links in this case?

My workaround was to create a second project and point to the folder that 
contains the resulting HTML files and do the checking from that project. Is 
there a better solution for this?

- I use a readymade template for the site and it uses the idiom 'href="#"' for 
creating the top-level menu item. The syntax checker complains about this, is 
there a way to turn this off?

I suggest that you add Marked to your toolbox, it's an excellent tool for 
converting Markdown into various other formats, combining separate markdown 
files into one document, etc, etc. I use BBEdit + Marked for a lot of my 
writing (non-fiction) and for me it's a very nice combination.

Unfortunately, I haven't used TextEdit for many years so I can't really offer

I'm mostly thinking of the extra work creating a blog, generating index pages 
etc. I mean that there are a several static site generators (usually with some 
kind of blogging support) like Pelican, Hugo, Nicola, Jekyll, etc, that handles 
that automatically. Manually maintaining a site with a fairly large number of 
blog entries quickly become cumbersome (if you want support for categories, 
tags, etc), while it's easier to maintain a site with a smaller number of pages 
(think documentation or a smaller info site).

Since BBEdit doesn't have support for generating various kind of indexes (that 
I know of), I was wondering if Code Modules have support for this. I might have 
missed it but I didn't see any indication of this.

LSP configuring

[Jan Erik Moström]

I have the xcode command line tools installed (not the full Xcode 
package) and apparently it includes a language server for the C language 
family and Swift.


So today when I had to write some example code in C (long time since 
that happened the last time) I got all kind of goodies showing up when 
writing the program. Unfortunately I also get the a warning that 
"~/Desktop/fib.c:1: 'stdio.h' file not found" for the line


# include 

What I can't figure out is how to tell bbedit/language server where this 
file can be found.


How do I do this?

Sharing preferences

[Jan Erik Moström]

Before figuring out the best way to do this for me, I would like to ask 
a few questions.


- In chapter 2 in the manual there is a description of how to share the 
application support folder using Dropbox or iCloud. The preferred way is 
Dropbox, I assume iCloud causes some problems?


- Are there any other methods of sharing the application support folder 
than Dropbox/iCloud? I would prefer not installing Dropbox, and one of 
the machines I have uses a different Apple ID. What my machines already 
have in common is, of course, git, and a shared folder on a Synology 
server, but I don't know if this helps in any way.


- The preference file, I assume there is no way to share that, but what 
would be the best way to keep them up-to-date? Use the preference file 
on one machine as the "main" file and copy it to the rest? Use git to 
maintain a master copy (but I imagine this would not be a good solution 
since the plist seem to contain temporary data)? I suppose a better

Window management and virtual desktop question

[Jan Erik Moström]

I tend to use BBEdit for various things, note taking, writing code, etc. 
I also use virtual desktops for doing various things, admin, writing 
code, email, etc.


My "problem" is that I want to have the code window(s) only on the code 
writing desktop, admin window(s) only on the admin desktop, note taking 
window on all desktops, and so on.


Is there some way to config the windows of BBEdit in this way, i.e. 
something like this


Window 1 - desktop 1 only
Window 2 - desktop 2 only
Window 3 - desktop 2 only
Window 4 - desktop 1 only
Window 5 - all desktops

I don't think it's possible but I've missed things before. macOS only 
have "this desktop" or "all desktops"

Re: Two files in the same window

[Jan Erik Moström]

Thanks to all of you for confirming my own findings.

In this case I solved it by using "Find differences", not ideal but ...

The reason why I want to avoid sharing the whole screen is simply that 
while talking over Zoom, I use several application at the same time, - I 
also take notes in BBEdit and/or Devonthink, have background information 
available (web pages, bbedit, omnioutliner, etc) as well as the usual 
background noice of notifications popping up. Not to mentions that 
during lectures I'm also using the chat functionality in Zoom (students 
VERY much prefer sending questions via chat instead of just asking).


This is why I really dislike powerpoint (difficult/impossible to do this 
as far as I know) and very much prefer Keynote and Deckset.


But, my need for displaying two text files side by side isn't something 
that happen often so I'll manage via some "hack" when I need it.

Two files in the same window

[Jan Erik Moström]

Is it possible to display two files side by side in a window? If so, I

Use case: I've always just opened two windows side by side when I needed 
this, but when I use Zoom I prefer to share a window and not my desktop.

Basic AppleScript question: How do I move the insertion point to the end

I tried with something like this

tell application "BBEdit"
activate
open file_path
tell front window
select character after endLine
end tell
end tell

or "insertion point" but I'm doing it wrong. Could someone enlighten me

biggest problem would be the linking part - if you can use tags/search 
then it's easier.


I haven't tried doing a zettelkasten but a simple hierarchical folder 
structure, combine that with BBEdit projects and search functionality 
and it's pretty powerful. No links etc but perfectly OK.

Re: BBEdit to web

This is a really wild idea which might or might not be useful.

If the data that you want to clean up is really regular/structured you 
could perhaps use text factories to clean up the data and generate SQL 
commands that you then feed to the MySQL database.


Other possible way is to write a Python script which then talk to the 
database to insert the data.


But it all depends on how the data is structured and looks like.

Also, it's probably easier to use some kind of direct MySQL library 
(depending on what tools you decide to use) as ODBC strength in the 
cross-platform (different databases) properties (at least this is how I 
understand it). If this is a one-time thing it's probably easier to 
simple use the built-in library in some language or directly use the 
mysql command line tool.


I haven't done anything major myself, but I have several time generated 
a file with SQL commands which I then have loaded into a database from 
the command line.

Project with several files open and visible?

[Jan Erik Moström]

I'm trying out a new way of working with BBEdit, that is I'm trying out 
the project feature (in my work I usually have text files open that are 
not related to each other, this autumn is a bit different).


The Project feature is nice and work well for what I'm doing, but can I 
view two files at the same time? (Assuming that I have the editor pane 
visible) I can of course open them in new windows but I imagined myself 
doing something like this:


+ Open the project
+ Click the "Full screen" button
+ Divide the editor pane in three parts
+ Open three files in these parts

This would mean that on my desktop monitor I would see the file listing 
and three files at the same time. The only way I've come up with doing 
something like this is to


+ Open the project window with the editor pane visible
+ Open a file
+ Go full screen
+ Close the editor pane and let the file move to a new window
+ Open new files and move them to separate windows
+ Arrange the windows so this kind of line up

While this work, kind of, it's not very elegant and I assume that I'm 
missing some way of doing what I want to do. I didn't see anything 
obvious in the manual and I can't find anything in the menus. So what am 
I missing?

web site templates

[Jan Erik Moström]

A question about a good source for web site templates.

I want to make some small static web sites for various stuff and thought 
that I could use BBEdit for creating/updating the sites (yes, I know 
about tools like RapidWeaver, Hugo, Pelican, etc but they are too 
complicated for what I have in mind).


Unfortunately my graphic design skills isn't world famous ... not even 
within my family. So I did a search for "free web sites templates" and 
ended up with a long list of web sites that offers "free" templates 
(mostly WP templates) ... so I ended up looking at Hugo and WordPress 
templates.


But before I sit down and try to convert them to be usable with BBEdit I 
want to ask if anyone knows of a good source for HTML5 templates that 
are not ... let's say, of doubtful quality ... and doesn't depend on 
frameworks like bootstrap etc (I want small, self contained static web 
sites)?

students, course documents, instruction, slides, documentations, etc all 
in markdown or some dialect of it. However, if I'm writing something 
that is going to be printed I'm using LaTeX - I actually was thinking 
about this earlier this week when I was writing something that is going 
to be printed. I found it very cumbersome to write latex and when I get 
some spare time I'm going to invest that time trying to find the best 
way to write in markdown but convert to latex so I can get the 
formatting right (I know about some tools but I have some specific 
requirements that I need to investigate).


But back to the subject, for me and for what I'm doing markdown (I'm 
including the various dialects I use) is a very flexible, powerful way 
of marking up text so I can use it in various ways. My documents usually 
include headlines, lists, images, links to various online resources, 
source code, etc. If I were to write a book I wouldn't hesitate to use 
markdown.


My current tools to achieve this is BBEdit, Ulysses, Marked, Deckset and 
Multimarkdown.


But as I said above, the choice of writing tools is very personal and 
also depends on factors like what is being written, external 
requirements, etc.

Shortcuts in dialog boxes

[Jan Erik Moström]

Having received a new machine at work I've made a clean install without 
carrying over any settings at all from previous installations (and I'm 
actually reading the manual ... for the first time in 15 years or so 
:D).


Anyway, I'm pretty sure that on my old machine I was able to change 
paragraph indentation in the hard wrap dialog by pressing cmd-X where X 
would show up when I pressed the cmd-key. On my new machine this doesn't 
happen ... so I assume there is an option somewhere that I've missed but 
I can't find it and my feeble attempts in using the manual didn't result 
in anything.


What am I missing here?

Folding paragraphs?

In a markdown dokument, is it possible to fold a “multiline” (multiple
lines using soft wrap) paragraphs so that only the first line shows?

Same question for “real” multiline paragraphs (hard line breaks)

The Application Support files on Dropbox

[Jan Erik Moström]

Since I'm having a low workload today (thank you universe) I'm doing a bit
of cleanup and restructuring of my computers - one thing being to clean up
my "dropbox mess".

My question is simply: is it possible to have the "Application
Support/BBEdit" directory in a subfolder somewhere? (I keep other
applications data files in a shared folder buried deep in some subfolder)

The manual indicates that it's not possible so I'm just checking to see
that I'm not missing something.

Changing setup ?

[Jan Erik Moström]

This is probably something I should already know but ...

I use BBEdit for a lot of different stuff and I've noticed that I like
different settings depending on what I'm doing, for example: if I'm writing
documents (in markdown or latex) I like a larger font size and also a
different font, if I'm writing code then I like a smaller font size and a
standard font, etc.

Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to quickly change the settings so
I usually use single setting.

My question: is there a simple way to change font, font-size, color scheme
that is better than an applescript? (and how to change color scheme using
Applescript??)

*tell* *application* BBEdit

*tell* *window* 1

*set* display font *to* Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

*set* display font size *to* 15

*set* display font style *to* *italic* -- This doesn't seem to work

*get* display font style -- results in missing value

*end* *tell*

*end* *tell*

 As of BBEdit 11, you can configure each of these properties (font, font
 size, and color scheme) on a per-language basis by adding custom language
 preference(s) in the Languages preference pane. :-)


 [PS: Font settings are in the Editor section of the language prefs sheet,
 and color scheme in the Display section.]

Re: A notebook for BBEdit?

[Jan Erik Moström]

I use DayOne for keeping a journal (which also involves Dropbox, Workflow
and Drafts on iOS and BBEdit on Mac ... I don't want personal stuff on
machine at work).

My use case for that question is that I frequently comment on student
reports, thesis reports, etc, etc. These are things that 99.99% of the time
are write-it, trash-it, forget-it stuff for me. But once in a while there
is some reason to pull out one of them ... but I don't really want to
actively save and organize them. So I want to change my previous approach
to write-it, archive-it, forget-it without having all the notes
cluttering my normal folder structure.

Re: Stationery + placeholders

[Jan Erik Moström]

Unfortunately #bbinclude doesn't work for me (at least not from what I
can see from my tests), it works well when dealing with web sites but
I want to make a general document template ... one that can be placed
in BBEdits stationery folder and accessed using File-New with
stationary.

I'm probably not being clear so I'm going with an example, I'm using
Multimarkdown a lot and I want each document to have the following
header:

--
title: Insertion point here
date: current date
author: Jan Erik Moström
id: unique ID

--

Right now I can make this happen using a clipping that looks like this

--
title: ##
date: #DATE#
author: Jan Erik Moström
id: #UUID#

##
--

and I can use this by

+ creating a new document
+ set the language to show markdown related clippings
+ select the clipping and insert it

alternative by saving the clipping as a Universal item

+ creating a new document
+ select the clipping and insert it

Or to make these action quicker, define a shortcut for the clipping
(say ctrl-alt-command-M) and do

command-N, ctrl-alt-command-M

which isn't bad. But I'm curious to know if it's possible to make this
one action instead of two.

Stationery + placeholders

[Jan Erik Moström]

Is it possible to create a stationery with some placeholders?

Sometimes I create documents with the same basic structure
(stationery) but would like to be able to automatically insert some
data, for example the date/time (placeholders).

I've never managed to get something to work but I assume it can be
done since BBEdit usually can do everything I want :D

 The location is fine, but you'll want to symlink to 'mmd' rather than
 'multimarkdown' i.e.:

Setting up multimarkdown as preview filter

[Jan Erik Moström]

Hi,
I'm finally setting up multimarkdown as a preview filter at work and
I'm doing something wrong. According to the manual I should make a
symlink to the mmd binary in

~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Preview Filters/

but since I've got my BBEdit folder on dropbox I put it here

~/DropBox/Application Support/BBEdit/Preview Filters/

$ pwd
/Users/jem/DropBox/Application Support/BBEdit/Preview Filters
$ ls -l
total 8
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jem  staff  28 Sep  8 15:13 multimarkdown -
/usr/local/bin/multimarkdown

I quit and re-launch BBEdit but when I preview a markdown file there
are no alternatives in the filter menu. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Using BBEdit as a *nix remote text editor?

[Jan Erik Moström]

At work I regularly edit files that resides on the server. I do it in
one of two ways - either Interarchy using the edit command or mounting
the remote server using ExpanDrive. Both these solutions use sftp (in
my case).

 * Is it possible to invoke BBEdit to edit a file using a command on a
 remote Linux machine?  The bbedit tool seems to do exactly this on the
 local OSX machine, but I'm wondering if anyone has magic that could
 accomplish the same result remotely.

 I'm not aware of anything to do this. There have been past attempts (even by 
 me) but nothing successful. The best I came up with was automating the 
 process of:

 - scp localfile osxhost:localfile
 - ssh osxhost bbedit -wait --resume localfile
 - scp osxhost:localfile localfile

 It was too fragile though; it was quite a while ago and I don't recall the 
 problems.

 I'd love to hear someone else saying they have a solution for this one. 
 Would be great if I could set EDITOR on remote machines to point back to 
 bbedit.

 * Can the BBEdit shell workspace be directed to any SSH connection?

 The worksheet is not a TTY, so you cannot have an ssh *session*. You can 
 send commands to remote servers via ssh from a worksheet (assumes ssh key 
 login). I use this method quite a lot to (eg) set permissions for files on 
 remote server, or restart a running process on remote server, etc. I also 
 use worksheet to copy files to remote server using rsync; especially handy 
 for mirroring sites.

 * I am assuming that between the open via ftp/sftp, and the mounting of
 remote file systems, BBEdit should be able to access and edit the
 remote files.  Are there any gotchas here I should be aware of?

 There may be some gotchas, but none I think you need to be aware of. BBEdit 
 has quite good handling of files on remote volumes. I sometimes use the 
 built-in s/ftp tools; I used to use external s/ftp (Interarchy) almost 
 exclusively; I now use mounted remote volumes with ExpanDrive.

 [The new version of ExpanDrive has introduced some strange race conditions 
 with its new local file cache; I've not found the reproducible steps yet. 
 Anyone else seeing problems with new ExpanDrive 'modifying files since last 
 save'?]

 As someone new to BBEdit, you will bring a fresh perspective to editing 
 files on remote servers. I look forward to hearing what solution(s) you find 
 work best for you.

 Correct; and unfortunately since system-intrinsic preferences syncing went
 the way of MobileMe, there's no good system-supported solution for this.
 It's unlikely that we'd undertake to try and do it ourselves.

 That said, *some* preferences data (which doesn't reside in the
 system-resident preferences) can be relocated to Dropbox. I believe chapter
 2 talks about how to do this, as well. (It's a trick similar to relocating
 the Application Support subfolder, but instead applies to the contents of
 ~/Library/BBEdit/.)

Yes, this is what I'm doing now but Since the system does not support
relocation of an application’s core preferences data file
(~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist`), you cannot
directly sync these settings. You may, however, copy the core
preferences file to other machines to ‘seed’ them with your preferred
prefs settings.

 Using Dropbox should solve it for you. When you change something in
 ~/Dropbox/Application Support/BBEdit, Dropbox will handle sync with any

 To use it, all you need to do is the following:
 * Move ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit to ~/Dropbox/Application
 Support/BBEdit

 From then on, BBEdit should load from Dropbox and it should replicate to
 other machines. You may need to delete any other local ~/Application
 Support/BBEdit directories on other machines. I can't recall if Dropbox has
 precedence or not.

 See page 38 of the BBEdit manual for the complete details.

 Unfortunately, you will still need to wrap the generated HTML with a basic

Yes, but this only copies the text - not the HTML code (I want to use

Anyway, I'm informed that it's not possible but I'll use a script to get a

Copying HTML of preview window

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something really basic here. I seem to remember
to having seen that it was possible to copy the HTML code from the preview

Am I misremembering something or am I just stupid and can't find how to do
