Re: QuickCursor (aka Edit in BBEdit anywhere)
QuickCursor is awesome but If you want a similar solution with Keyboard Maestro, written a version here: http://journal.kaush.co/500/open-with-bbedit-aka-quickcursor-using-keyboard-maestro Obviously lacks the polish of QuickCursor, but with KM you can get a more customized solution. Also this should work with any other application too including Mail. Cheers.

If you have ever wished that you could use BBEdit to edit text in other applications, but found it was a pain to open the document in one app, copy it app, paste it to BBEdit, make your changes, and then paste it back into the original app, this is for you. Do you ever edit text in a CMS? Ever lost work because the browser crashed on you and you hadn't saved your work? With QuickCursor you can save in BBEdit as often as you like. It waits until you close the BBEdit window before pasting the text back to the original app (and if for some reason it can't get it back to the original app, it throws up an immediate alert and puts the text on the clipboard so it won't be lost. You can see a (40 second) screencast here (be sure to make it full-screen so you can actually see what's happening): http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor on the Mac App Store here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickcursor/id404035899?mt=12 I am absolutely unrelated to the app in any way except that when I saw the screencast back in November, I begged for an early version, have been using it since then, and absolutely love it. It was my first Mac App Store purchase (as in, I had a free version of it and I then paid $5 for it) and I included it in my favorite apps of 2010: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/23/the-best-mac-applications-i-used-in-2010 I thought it might be of-interest to folks here.

added HTML list item support; it creates a li tags, copies the li tag's
attributes from the current line, and duplicates them and also places the
cursor inside the tag.
If you have visited the page before you'll likely need to hit refresh to

The code will state that is was last updated March 26 at the top of the

The updated code does handle doing lists that start with *, #, and -, but
not +. I thought about it, but couldn't think of anytime I've seen it used.
It would be very easy to add though to the code. Just edit the section
Check for lists and add \\+ to the two regex finds. It has to be escaped
since it's a special character for regex. I'll make an update when I get a
chance, probably within the next 20 hours.

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.

Re: Insert Next List Item
@Kendall : neat script. thanks again.
@Kendall+Watts: One additional request-can the scripts be modified to pick
the first character on the line and then use that as a bullet? for e.g any
of the following could be bullets in my MD document (+,-,*). I have
currently modified your scripts to take care of this, but rather than an
if,else,if,else I thought it would be really cool to have the script
automatically pick up the bullet character and insert.
Cheers and thanks for the great scripts.

Re: Migrating from TextMate to BBEdit
In the spirit of sharing again, I've written some macros with Keyboard Maestro that try to emulate Textmate's Auto-pairing / matching. Details in my blog post : http://journal.kaush.co/453/true-textmate-like-auto-pairing-with-bbedit-using-keyboard-maestro Cheers.

Can this be done in BBEdit? I think the closest you'll get to that in BBEdit is the Text - Prefix/Suffix Lines... command. Assign a key combination to it and trigger it to bring up a sheet with options to add or remove prefixes and suffixes for all selected lines. Additional you can make a rectangular selection in BBEdit (hold Alt while selecting, make sure Soft Wrap is turned off) and paste the content of the clipboard to each line at the selected position. Again, this is not as fancy as in TextMate but does the job. When I select a string (word, line, etc…) can I enclose it in between parentheses, quotes, square brackets, etc… by just typing the character? Using a language mapping (ruby, c++, etc…), is it possible when opening a parentheses, square bracket, etc… to insert the corresponding close character? The best way I've found to simulate this behavior is to use BBEdit's clippings feature. I created a bunch of clippings to insert the opening and closing characters with the cursor positioned between them (and any other text I want). I then assigned keyboard shortcuts to them. For example, Control-Command-[ gives me a pair of square brackets with my cursor in between ready for input. Again, maybe not as fancy as TextMate's auto-matching pairs, but I do find I get fewer accidental, unwanted closing parens and brackets with the clipping method in BBEdit. Be sure to check out the Clipping feature in the manual. It is one of BBEdit's best features. You would miss a lot of functionality that makes BBEdit such a decent editor. For example the syntax for adding parenthesises to a selection is: #selstart#(#select#)#selend# With an assigned keyboard shortcut this is pretty nice. You can further tweak BBEdit with little applescripts that make your editing life easier. One of my favorites is Select Word (by John Gruber if I remember that right): tell application BBEdit tell window 1 set sel_offset to characterOffset of selection set cur_line to startDisplayLine of selection try select (last word of display_line cur_line ¬ whose characterOffset ≤ sel_offset) on error select display_line cur_line end try end tell end tell This group is a good ressource for little bits.

Auto format/insert markdown formatted bulleted points
nValt, a fork of Notational velocity has this pretty neat feature, where if i have bulleted list i'm writing in markdown e.g: + this is the first point + this is the 2nd point + this is the 3rd point | cursor position at Cursor position, if i hit the enter key, it automatically indents to that position and inserts the bullet (+). Is there some way of achieving this with BBEdit Clippings? Currently BBEdit has no problems indenting, but a feature where it recognizes the bullet and auto inserts it would be totally wicked.
