Doh! Yep, that was it.

And thanks for “rectangular selection” as the right phrase.

Vertical selection disappeared?

2016-05-11 Thread Morbus Iff

Did I miss something or has vertical selection disappeared from BBEdit?

I recall, I thought, once being able to hold down Option (or something) and be 
able to select columns of text vs. rows of text. But that doesn’t seem to work 
anymore, nor did a search for “vertical select” bring up any relevant results 
in the User Manual.

Can I make my own Check Document Syntax?

2013-07-08 Thread Morbus Iff

I'd like to emulate the Check Document Syntax workflow - that is,
I'd like to select a menu item and have the results of the menu item
populate a split-pane BBEdit window with the results as a list in the
top pane and the document itself in the bottom pane.

I'd like, specifically, to have a PHP Code Sniffer
equivalent of the HTML checking tools.

I *could* get close (but haven't tried) with:

 * A shell sheet.

 * An Applescript that opens a Terminal window.

But I'd like something more tightly integrated, something sharable,
something pff, so what, your IDE does that, so can BBEdit, etc.

Is it possible?

There are numerous half-way there scenarios, such as:

 http://daringfireball.net/2003/12/php_syntax_checking_in_bbedit
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10560142/php-validation-in-bbedit-10-with-applescript

and I'd likely crib from them, but I'm really looking for the same
visual workflow as the HTML checker.

Re: BBEdit looks quite bad on Retina MBP

2012-08-01 Thread Morbus Iff
 In addition to static previews, BBEdit also supports live 
 local previewing of web pages through the web server built 
 into Mac OS X. 
 
 That is correct -- but it's also not what you said initially. :-) 
 
 ??
 It IS what I wrote initially! I scribbled:
 which is needed for local editing of html files and full support for BBEdit 
 live Preview. 

Given no other data, html files implies static HTML files. That is, nothing 
that requires server-side technology, like PHP or SSIs. Static files with 
relative links and embeds will work properly through BBEdit's preview, without 
requiring a webserver. SSIs, other server-side technology, or non-relative 
links (such as CSS files referenced as /css/location.css vs. 
css/location.css, for example) require a properly configured webserver for 
appropriate previewing.

Re: BBEdit 10 cost

2011-07-19 Thread Morbus Iff
 So let me get this straight.   I've been a faithful customer for over
 15 years, buying every single BBEdit upgrade.  And yet brand new users
 can buy the product for the exact same price in the AppStore that I
 can upgrade for?  That sucks.

Really? You’re *really* going to get indignant because other people should
pay the same price you’ve been paying for 15 years? You’re really going to
infer that this “act” by Barebones is somehow going to tarnish your “faithful”
customer status? What I really want to say is: the amount of new users, at
this price, will heavily outweigh your “taking my toys and going home”.
Good riddance, et. al., et. al.

Personally, I think this is a good move. And not because more people can use
it or because Barebones has been raping my wallet for years (they haven’t) or
because I think other software exists which equal the quality of BBEdit.

It’s a different environment now. The 99 cents of the iTunes App Store has
turned the software-buying audience into a group of people who don’t need
to actually think about purchasing software anymore. When something is less
than a candy bar, it’s becomes a daily impulse not a chin-scratcher.

This mentality is going to accelerate to the desktop pretty quickly with
the enforced Mac App Store, with most price points being less than 10 USD.

Barebones isn’t the first, of course - you’ve likely seen the hubbub over
the new Final Cut Pro. Apple isn’t marketing toward the pro market anymore,
and in the public’s eye, there’s no comparing a “text editor” at $125 to
even something like iMovie at $14.99.

It’s a perception problem, and I don’t think BBEdit
would last long in an post-MAS market at $125.

Project Window on Right Side?

2011-07-19 Thread Morbus Iff

So, with the Documents Drawer being removed, I’m finding my workspace
being shifted to the left, as it were. Here’s how I typically work:

 * I have a Project window open, WITH THE EDITOR CLOSED, floating on the right.
 * My editor window is to the left. The Document Drawer is open (to the right).

This allows me to have a “landmark” for my actual work - my code is always
the leftmost thing on the screen. It does’t sound like I can do this anymore,
with the Document Drawer being turned into a Project Window, which only open
on the left. This stops me from having a reliable landmark (it’s in the middle
of everything, somewhere).

Can Project Windows be made to open on the right?

Re: Deliberately hijacked thread, Webmaster

2011-03-17 Thread Morbus Iff
 Changing the subject line on a reply is NOT equivalent to creating a new 
 message! That is rarely understood by email users. It's a shame that mail 
 clients don't make it apparent to users. I guess it's because software 
 salesmen don't want to confuse their users.

To be fair, the opposite is a bit true: until recently (say, the last five 
years?), most mail clients *did not* listen to Thread-Ids and thus, changing 
the subject line *did* make it seem like things were brand new. Only recently 
(comparatively) have mail clients started making threadable interfaces. One can 
thus infer that mail clients /taught/ users to break things and only now are 
they going “whoops”.

 How do I prevent Tidy in BBEdit when I reflow a document from changing
 all of my i tags to em and all of my b tags to strong?

Tidy does have this option at the command-line level (logical-emphasis), but
I don’t think you can tweak BBEdit’s implementation of Tidy to support it. What
I’d do is create a new Text Factory that runs the Reflow Document command, and
then two search and replaces to tweak the tags back to what you want.

Re: Bound project window key command to swap focus?

If I have an unbound project window (one in which the Editor pane is not

I am unable to find an equivalent if I have a *bound* project window

After fiddling with this more, it doesn't look like I can get anything

Re: Bound project window key command to swap focus?

2010-02-09 Thread Morbus Iff

To move focus *out* of a text view, use Control-Tab (and make sure it isn’t 
bound to “Switch to Counterpart” - that was the old factory default.)

By default, the project list in project windows does not accept keyboard focus 
when the attached editor is visible. You can enable this with:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit 
Projects:ProjectsListCanAcquireKeyboardFocus -bool YES


Ah, that was the key! I had been Control-Tab'ing furiously and never saw 
any change - with the above tweak, it does exactly what I (he) wants 
(bounded), while replicating the same workflow I use (unbounded)


Thanks!

Re: BBEdit still uses an unsupported product?

2009-11-03 Thread Morbus Iff

Computing environments change. So must workflows.

I have never been a fan of creator codes - I used to manually change 
them with ResEdit back in the day, and I had an AppleScript under OS X 
to change GraphicConverter JPEGs back to defaulting to Preview. I don't 
have that script around anymore... it wasn't important enough.

Computing environments change. So must workflows. If you want an 
environment where you control every step of the chain, without a doubt, 
then you'd be looking at building your own Unix distro.

Flexibility is a must. I have *never* liked iTunes organize your music 
folder functionality, so have always shut it off and maintained things 
myself. Long ago, I used to do the following:

  * Dragged the entire album into a To Burn to Disc folder.
Note this was *not* a burn folder - they didn't exist then.
(Or if they did, I didn't know about them.)

  * Dragged the entire album into iTunes.

  * Once the folder was full, I'd burn it, then move all the burnt
albums into their proper place inside my master Music folder.

For years, the above workflow worked just fine, because it /seemed/ that 
iTunes was either smart enough to follow the files (likely via inode 
handling) or just plain ol' magic.

In the past year or so (maybe two or three), it stopped working. I had 
5,000 broken tracks in my iTunes that I ended up writing a script to fix 
properly. Why? The following no longer worked:

  * Put album in Folder A.
  * Dragged album to iTunes.
  * (time passes) Moved album to Folder B.

As soon as the file position changed, with iTunes open or not, iTunes 
would lose them. ! symbols abounded. Yeah, it was pretty annoying. My 
entire workflow, that had worked for years, was broken.

I didn't complain though - I don't control iTunes anymore than anyone 
else here does. I didn't lament on some forum about how it sucked and 
DEAR APPLE, CHANGE IT BACK OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE MY MONEY. That's 
incredibly childish and, quite frankly, I'm smarter than that. No one is 
going to respond to ultimatums.

I, instead, merely changed my workflow:

  * Albums are always placed in the master/final location.
  * Albums are then dragged into iTunes.
  * Albums are then dragged into an actual Burn Folder.

In the long-run, the new workflow takes better advantage of the 
technology available (the Burn folder will always keep an update on how 
much space is being used, instead of me having to Get Info all the 
time), and a step is removed because I no longer have to move files from 
A to B when the burn is done.

This is one case of a dozen where I've expected something to work the 
way it does, and it has stopped because something has changed underfoot. 
Could be Apple, could be this app, or that app. Change is inevitable. 
Choice is too - you certainly have a right not to upgrade, but it's 
pretty unlikely that your steadfast refusal is going to change anything.

  Here is what you can do in any Mac OS 10.6
 
  1) Have HTML documents by default open in your default browser
  2) have HTML documents created in BBEdit open in BBEdit
  3) Have HTML documents created in FooBarEdit open in FooBarEdit
 
  That is simply NOT POSSIBLE in 10.6.

In this particular case, I have to wonder, what are you really losing 
here? In the above example, it appears to be only a double-click. I just 
don't see why a different workflow can't solve the situation just as 
well. One could simply drag and drop the file on the program in the 
Dock, drag and drop it on a command placed on the Finder toolbar, write 
an AppleScript with a keycommand (I think that still works, right?), do 
something similar with open -a app file, cmd-click and Open

Honor saved state options?

2009-07-16 Thread Morbus Iff


G'day. I'm working with two different mental states:

  * Code. Small font, tab stops, line numbers, etc.
  * Fiction. Large font, no tab stops, line numbers, etc.

About the only thing I can get reliably to save in the document state, 
however, is the font - how does one save don't show me line numbers 
and don't show the gutter, tab stops, etc., etc.?

 Today's preferences give you control over that (see Preferences

I think I'm running Yesterday, then... where can I get Today?

When I head here, for Honor saved state, I see (and have checked) 
Window position, Font settings, Selection range, Scrollbar position, 
Option settings, and Emacs local variables. Save document state is also 
checked, but *not* Emacs local variables there.

Re: Honor saved state options?

2009-07-16 Thread Morbus Iff


Oh, and here's another one - ideally, I'd like to save these things as 
literal mental states or visual profiles, as opposed to document 
states - something I can toggle back and forth on the fly. I had 
irrationally hoped that I could just duplicate perfect_for_writing.txt 
and get all the same saved document state, but alas, fie fie.

Perhaps a stationery or AppleScript could rig it up for me...

Re: Honor saved state options?

2009-07-16 Thread Morbus Iff

 Yep, AppleScript will do that just fine. Use the Start 
 Recording command, setup the document the way you want, then 
 Stop Recording. You may need to tweak the resulting script a 
 bit but it should be close to what you want to happen.

That worked nicely enough:

tell application BBEdit
activate
set properties of text window 1 to {soft wrap text:true}
set properties of text window 1 to {show page guide:false}
set properties of text window 1 to {show tab stops:false}
set properties of text window 1 to {show line numbers:false}
set properties of text window 1 to {show invisibles:false}
set properties of text window 1 to {smart quotes:true}
end tell

It didn't catch my font changes though (to Georgia 16). I'll see if I 
can figure that out, as well as Hide All Others and Set all desktop 
backgrounds to black - i.e., recreate Full Screen mode ;)

Re: Deprecated i still available via Markup Font Style

2009-01-22 Thread Morbus Iff

 Deprecated by whom? Not HTML 4 or 5.

IMO, it's been deprecated by those who *blindly* trumpet semantics. 
Whilst I *heartily* agree with writing what you mean (emphasizing text 
with em, etc.), I've seen it go much too far, with people attempting 
to replicate tables in DIVs and CSS because, well, that's the hip and 
semantic way of doing things in Web 2.0.

I follow the previous commenter's distinction
on I vs. EM (and B vs. STRONG) as well.

 I have a master project that contains all my projects organized in a
 shallow directory tree. Formerly this would always open with all

 always opens the master project with the directory contents hidden,
 which is a pain.

Re: [ANN] BBEdit 9.1

2008-12-16 Thread Morbus Iff

 To each his own, I suppose. /me switches back to Monaco-9.
 
 Try 13 point.  I opted for Courier over Monaco some while ago but my 
 first impression of Consolas 13 is good and I could well stick with 
 it.  If nothing else it makes a clear distinction between l and 1, 
 which helps a lot with SVG editing.

I can barely tell the difference. Still looks fuzzy to me, but that's 
probably cos I'm used to, when editing and writing emails (which is also 
Monaco-9, along with Terminal.app), to small and non-anti-aliased. I'm 
still young enough to see smaller fonts, so I prefer the extra view 
(both number of lines shown and amount of horizontal space for long code 
lines) provided by Monaco 9. Consolas doesn't appear to work, at all, at 
anything smaller than 12.

But, hey, fonts are right up there with BBEdit vs. Textmate, vi vs. 
emacs, KDE vs. Gnome, Mac vs. Windows, pencils vs. pens, etc. ;)

Re: BBEdit 9.1

2008-12-16 Thread Morbus Iff

 Just wanted to say the new FTP implementation is nice and FAST.

Tim, I'm curious: is it fast enough to replace Edit
via BBEdit implementations from, say, Transmit?

I've tried BBEdit's FTP, and MacFUSE, and found that the simple act of 
saving (which, when I'm developing, I tend to save every 10 seconds, 
easily) blocked BBEdit's responsiveness. Whereas, when I Edit via 
BBEdit via Transmit, I never see the blocking (since it just queues up 
inside Transmit's own uploader, and I continue right on coding).

If it's fast enough for my obsessive
save/test/save/code/save/test workflow,
that'd be an insane boon.

 *   Consolas is now baked into the application, licensed to us by
  Ascender Corporation for use specifically with BBEdit. For those
  of you who aren't familiar with it, Consolas is an excellent
  monospaced font, designed for editing text and code. It's been
  my personal favorite for a while. :-)

I've used Monaco 9 in the past. I've just set Consolas 12, to
see what all the hoopla is about. Is it supposed to be this fuzzy?
