Re: A notebook for BBEdit?

Have you tried Yojimbo?

 I know, it sounds like a contradiction, just humor me :)
 
 What I want to do is to have some kind of notebook where I can dump
 files like this (and yes, there are numerous notebooks out there). My
 wish list for this notebook app:
 
 + Able to handle plain text files
 + Understand Markdown (easy to preview)
 + Integration with BBEdit
 + Light-weight
 + Search
 + Index
 
 Apps that I know of:
 
 + VoodooPad - this would be my choice if it hadn't been for that there
 have been no updates in a long time (only one update since the owner
 change)
 
 + DEVONthink - doesn't feel light-weight
 
 + Evernote - no text files, no markdown, no BBEdit
 
 + Yojimbo - no text files, no markdown, no BBEdit (as far as I can see)
 
 Does anyone have any other app I should take a look at?

Re: BBEdit + Yojimbo Co.

2015-02-12 Thread Tim Lahey

Hi,

I use DEVONthink. It has an option to index folders, so I just tell it 
to index the folders where I'm doing my writing or development. It has 
excellent organization and search capabilities. For something quick, 
using the built-in editor/viewer works fine, but it's easy to open the 
files in another program.


To be honest, the only think I use DEVONthink for with text files is 
search. I can look at a file and check See Also and it gives a list of 
files it thinks might be relevant. This can be handy for research as it 
will pull up PDFs which might be of use.


Cheers,

Tim.

Re: Change All in Spell Checker

2014-08-08 Thread Tim Lahey



On 7 Aug 2014, at 23:48, Robert A. Rosenberg wrote:



When a word is corrected, is BBE aware that this has occurred and what 
the old and new spelling are? If so, then it seems to me that when a 
spelling correction is made then the normal search replace routine can 
be triggered under the covers to correct the misspelling. Alternately 
BBE can remember the pair so when the find-next option is used, the 
new misspelled word is checked against the list and the replacement is 
automatically done and it then skips to the next word NOT in the list.




According to the Developer Library docs on spell checking,

In a graphical application, whenever a misspelled word is found, 
you’ll probably want to highlight the word in the document, using the 
NSRange that checkSpellingOfString:startingAt: returns to determine the 
text to highlight.


If BBEdit is using the NSChangeSpelling protocol, there's a 
changeSpelling method that changes the spelling. The docs also state,


To get the corrected spelling, ask sender for the string value of its 
selected cell (visible to the user as the text field in the Spelling 
panel). This method should replace the selected portion of the text with 
the string that it gets from the NSSpellChecker.


Based on the above, it seems it is possible as you can check the 
misspelled words in the NSRange and can query the corrected words. So, 
it depends on how BBEdit is implementing its spell checking. The above 
assumes Objective-C. I don't know if BBEdit is using Objective-C for 
that code (as it's OS X only code).


All that said, you can use Command-; to skip to the next misspelled 
word. So, you can navigate the errors. It's not ideal, but it works.


Cheers,

Tim Lahey.

 I don't understand why not. When you select some text with a backslash in it, 
 and choose Use Selection for Find, it gets escaped correctly so that 
 searches will find that text (assuming it exists where you're searching). 
 What have I missed?

I didn't know about Use Selection for Find so I've been doing a cut
and paste into the Find dialog. It's still kind of annoying on the
replace side since I don't think of \r or \t except as LaTeX strings
so I've accidentally added return characters into my text in the past.

So, I'm guessing there isn't a way to disable \r and \t as special
characters so we don't need to escape them. That's unfortunate.

Thanks,

Tim.

Re: Find-Replace using LaTeX commands

I know. I'm looking for a way to disable the recognition of those
characters so I don't need to do that. Since most of my text is LaTeX,
it's quite annoying to have a search error and then realise that
there's a special character and escape it.

Cheers,

 Hi Tim

 If I understand what you are asking correctly, then yes:
 \r = the line ending character
 \t = the tab character

 if you want to find the *literal* string \r, then you would search
 for it this way:
 \\r

 The \ char escapes whatever comes next.

 It helps to understand that when bbedit has a file open for editing the 
 entire document is stored as 16 bit UTF characters.  The \ character used as 
 an escape elsewhere is essentially never there at all. (Editing a shell 
 script might be an exception to that.) Also all input line ends are 
 represented as 0X 000D, the standard for Apple of old.

That's unfortunate. LaTeX commands are built around using \ so there
are commands like \textit which is used to make text italic, \tan (for
printing tan properly) and I have custom commands like \rV. Doing
find-replace with the standard BBEdit find-replace dialog is very
annoying since BBEdit is making me do more work since I can't just
select text and do a find based upon it.

 Yes, in fact it was so bad for me I had to disable TextExpander. But it
 started for me back under early betas of 10.0, I think, so I've (sadly) had
 TE disabled for quite a while.

 I also noticed it in the browser, especially when using browser-based gMail.

I've found it in many applications, not just BBEdit. What I've done is
set a hot key for enabling/disabling expansion and only turn it on
when absolutely necessary, which kind of limits the usefulness of TE.
I've had the problem in BBEdit, TextMate, TeXShop, Safari, and
Mailplane that I can recall.

I've known of other people with this problem. It may be an
incompatibility of TE with another application (such as a clipboard
utility).

I'm wondering if some people added another application around the same
time they upgraded to BBEdit 10 and that's what's causing the TE
problems.

 This might be cheating but how about doing a global find/replace of /end

That doesn't work. If I manually delete a non-coloured \end and then
type it out, everything works. As soon as the new \ character is
typed, BBEdit starts the correct colouring.

In each chapter of my thesis (that I've checked), every \end{equation}
isn't coloured, but every \end{figure}, \end{eqnarray}, and
\end{enumerate} is coloured correctly, so it seems to be a problem
specifically with that environment.

All my figure, enumerate, and eqnarray environments are properly
