Setting colors for markdown headings in the editor

[Tom]

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can assist me. I use BBEdit as a Markdown editor for 
writing long-form documents.

Is there a way to customize the color of the text that follows a Markdown 
heading hashtag in BBEdit? I've found that I can change the color of the 
'#' symbol by going to `Settings > Text Colors` and then altering the color 
of 'Keywords' under the 'Markdown' specific settings. Unfortunately, the 
text following the hashtag maintains the color assigned to 'Plain Text' 
under the 'General' Text Colors setting.

I would prefer for both the hashtag and the heading text to be of the same 
color to improve visibility. Does anyone have a workaround or suggestion 
for this?

Thanks.

Find filename within a project

[Tom]

Is there a quick way to search by filename from within BBEdit project?
Ideally with auto-complete but even just a search on filename within a
restricted set of files would do. I've been digging around with BBEdit
9.2 and can't seem to find anything like it.

Print Folded Text

[Tom]

I would like to be able to print my php code with sections folded.  Is
this possible?  I have not been able to find a way to do this.

The end result I'm looking for is a printed summary of the function
definitions in my php script.  Collapsing all folds gives me what I
need, but I just can seem to get it to paper...

Thanks
Tom

Re: BBEdit and in Firefox

[Tom]

That is an excellent tip!  I can't say how many times I've cut and
pasted source into BBEdit from FF!

THANKS!

Select text after paste

[Tom]

Is there any way to have the block of text that I have pasted into a
document be automatically selected so I can then use other commands on
that text immediately?

For example, I usually Shift-left or right the block so the pasted
code has the right indentation to match the surrounding code.  I find
it annoying to go from the keyboard using Command-V to the mouse to
reselect the block I just inserted to then go back to the keyboard and
use Command-[ or Command-].  This is even more annoying when the
inserted block of code is more than a page length.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Tom

Historical backups under 10.10

[Tom]

Under 10.9, for historical backups I used to have a Finder Alias named 
“BBEdit Backups” in my Documents folder. It pointed to the real backup 
location in ~/Local\ Backups/BBedit/. 

After the update to 10.10 (DP8) this didn’t work anymore. I saw errors like 
“File ‘Scratchpad’ was not backed up. An error (-39) occurred. This may be 
because you don’t have permission […]”.

Replacing the Alias in the Documents folder with a simple soft link 
(symlink) solved the problem. 

Why is this?

Problem with Codeless Language Modules and Highlighting

[Tom]

I noticed that I can’t change anymore most of the highlight colors when my 
codeless language module is loaded. (I checked a module from somebody else 
and it’s the same.) Don’t know for how much time issue exists but I guess 
it is somehow related to BBEdit 11’s changes in the CLMs(?).

Precisely:

I can not change the color of comments, strings and functions (all defined 
via pattern). Strings are orange, comments and functions are gray.

I *can* change the color of keywords, but only if defined staticly 
(BBLMKeywordList). If defined via pattern (new in BBEdit 11) the keywords 
also take the same color as the comments or functions (unchangable).

The patterns (regexes) themselves are working fine, including the folds for 
the functions. It is as if the keys in the CLM weren’t connected to the 
highlight mechanism.

Does anybody else experience this? What am I missing? 

Thanks for any hints.

Tom

PS: Here <http://files.dflect.net/scripts/bbedit/ConTeXt-tf.plist.zip> is 
the CML.

Re: Getting into BBEdit

[Tom]

> How do you run scripts in LaunchBar?

You can launch scripts the same way you launch applications.

If it is a shell script save it with the ".command" extension to make sure 
it gets executed (instead of opened).

Of course, the directory where the script lives must be in LB's index.

If the script needs input (e.g. LB's Send-to, or a Finder selection) wrap 
it into an Automator service or workflow. (LB provides also Automator 
actions.)

> I know how to make actions but the process is tedious because it involves 
manually writing a plist

The plist only contains some settings and meta data. Once you have a 
template you just uncomment/comment some lines (if necessary) and change 
the metadata to adapt it for a new action.

Re: /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.barebones.bbedit.plist ???

[Tom]

My only BBEdit-related file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ is 
*com.barebones.authd.plist*. Its job is to run 
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.barebones.authd, and I guess it has to 
to with the handling of root-owned files, not sure though.

Maybe your file is a differently named variant of the same?

To match any whitespace except newlines you can use the Unicode class `\h` 
for “horizontal whitespace”, for example `^\h+|\h+$`. 
This works in Perl and BBEdit, but I haven’t tested it with Satimage or 
AppleScriptObjC.

If it doesn’t work, try `^[[:blank:]]+|[[:blank:]]+$`, or as a last 
recourse `^[^\S\r\n]+|[^\S\r\n]+$`. 

All of those match also non-regular spaces (for example en-spaces, thin 
spaces, etc.) and tabs.

Re: Help with a GREP pattern

[Tom]

Sam’s regex is working perfectly fine here (BBEdit 11.6.6).

Personally I would make it slightly more robust: (.*?)\h+—.*\r*


   - Accepts any amount of horizontal whitespace before (and after) the dash
   - Works also if the very last item doesn’t end with newline


each one separated by a carriage return


If you really mean Carriage Return (CR) then I don’t think this can be 
forced with a regex in BBEdit. To get CRs set the document to “Legacy Mac 
OS (CR)” in the footer bar of the window.
The \r in the regex should work with any type of line break.

Re: Dropbox Application Support Saved Temp Files

[Tom]

As an aside: Try iCloud sync. It is working remarkably well for me and has 
made Dropbox pretty obsolete for syncing purposes..

Re: extracting a similar but changing pattern

[Tom Robinson]

Do a search for:

^.*(c=[0-9.]+)$

^ anchor pattern to beginning of line
.* any number of any character
() capture buffer — copy anything inside the brackets to ‘\1'
[0-9.] look for any of these characters
+ 1 or more times
$ end of line

and replace the entire match (i.e. line) with the capture buffer:

\1

You could make the IP match more exact, but I don’t think the complexity is 
warranted.

Cheers

Re: extracting a similar but changing pattern

[Tom Robinson]

Similar to before, you just need 2 capture buffers:

^(.*)c=([0-9.]+)$

Replace with:

\2 \1


You could also just copy the IP to the start:

^.*c=([0-9.]+)$

Replace with capture buffer followed by entire match:

\1 &

Re: Split a text file with tabs based on character position in a line?

[Tom Robinson]

Not sure what your intent was with that regular expression?

This inserts tabs between columns, based on their width.  You’ll need a second 
pass to remove trailing spaces:

Find:  ^(.{25})(.{16})(.{29})(.{21})(.+)$

^ Anchors to start of line
( Start a capture buffer ( \1 )
. Any single character
{25} That single character 25 times
) End capture buffer

Replace:  \1\t\2\t\3\t\4\t\5

Cheers

Restore status of Notebook folders

[Tom Mai]

Hi, 
after every launch of BBEdit 14.6.3 (or older version) most folders in my 
"Notebook" that were closed before quit are now opened.
"Most" folders – a few are still closed.

Sounds like a bug to me – or is there a "trick"/setting?

Re: Script to Transform One CSV File Into Another

[Tom Robinson]

Assuming a basic CSV — no commas or line breaks inside quoted fields, this will 
pick up the 4 fields, duplicate one of them, and insert constants:

Find:

^([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)$

^ anchor to start of line
( start a capture buffer, the first capture buffer is referenced with \1, etc.
[ start a character class
^, search for anything which isn’t a comma
] finish the character class
+ one or more occurrences (use * if you might have empty fields)
) finish the capture buffer
, look for a comma
…
$ anchor to end of line

Replace:

\1,\1,xxx,\2,\3,yyy,zzz,\4

You could also import the CSV into a spreadsheet, do the manipulation, and 
export as CSV.

Cheers

 So you want to find all occurrences of a digit immediately followed by a

 Get the search dialog. Check the Grep box. Clear the Case sensitive box.
 
 Find: (\d)([a-z])
 Replace: \1 \2
 
 Click the Replace All button.
 
 Detailed explanation:
 \d matches any digit.
 [a-z] matches any letter.
 \d[a-z] would match a digit immediately followed by a letter. 
 Parenthesizing the two parts of the search string, (\d)([a-z]) does the 
 same search, but when it finds a match, it “captures” the substrings that 
 match the parenthesized components — I,e, the digit and the letter.
 In the replacement string, \1 and \2 stand for the captured substrings 
 that match the parenthesized sub patterns, i.e., the digit and the letter.
 So the replacement string \1 \2 stands for the matched digit, a space, and 
 the matched letter.
 
 So if your input text is 123XyZ, (\d) matches the 3 and assigns it to \1, 
 ([a-z]) matches the X and assigns it to \2, and the the string 3X is 
 replaced by 3 X.

Re: LSP does not work

[Tom M]

Hello Rich,

Thanks for the response.

I don't believe that the compile_commands.json file is the (main) issue. I 
tried generating the file[1] using cmake[2], but even after restarting 
BBEdit continues to display a gray dot in the editor (and a green circle in 
the "Installed Languages" list). The same thing happens for Python 
(jedi-language-server), Go (gopls), and Fortran (fortran-language-server). 
Again, these all work after installing the proper extensions in VS Code. 
BBEdit's logs do list errors for Go and Fortran though; see attached files.

Thanks,
Tom

Re: LSP does not work

[Tom M]

Resolved! I'm not exactly sure what fixed it, but notably I enabled sandbox 
access and reinstalled Brew (and, by extension, its packages and npm's 
packages).

Thanks!

Updates for v14?

[Tom Mai]

Will there be further bugfix-updates for BBEdit 14 – now that v15 is out?

Re: Regular Expression help with search ranges and replacing

[Tom Robinson]

'Capture buffers' are the answer.

Find:

(Jn[0-9][0-9])_

Replace with

\1.

Left bracket starts the capture, right bracket finishes it, \1 references what 
was between the brackets.  You can have more than 1 set of brackets, then use 
\2 for the 2nd, etc.

(Formatting brought to you by BBEdit’s Copy as Styled Text)

Cheers

Tweaking SourceFormat.profile

[Tom Robinson]

Hi, I've copied SourceFormat.profile from the BBEdit app bundle and placed in 
the BBEdit Application Support folder, and been tweaking the profile to match 
my coding style.

I've changed the paragraph definition to:



so paragraphs (mostly) appear as:

para

only when there's existing indentation, e.g.:


existing para


BBEdit retains whitespace inside the tags so it actually looks like:

 para 

Is there a way to prevent this?  (Yes, I could grep afterwards)

Re: Extend selection with search

[Tom Robinson]

Obviously in this case there's a few people who miss this particular 
functionality being removed.  But if you keep updating software and never 
remove redundant/out-dated features you end up with a hard-to-maintain piece of 
bloatware, as often seen in this industry.

Re: Document Manager for individual settings of document items

I'd like to have a per-filetype setting for stripping trailing white space on

Re: Stop BBEdit from adding .txt extension to default file name when saving

Re: BBEdit looks quite bad on Retina MBP

[Tom Robinson]

Yes deprecation uses up dev's time, but it keeps OS X nimble and able to be 
supported by a relatively small team of programmers.

The other option is to be like Windows which is extensively backward compatible 
for apps, but the OS is a mountain of legacy cruft.

Text Substitution with "Language & Text"?

[Tom S.]

Hi,

I'm a relatively new BBEdit user and I've been enjoying it quite a but. 
 However, I am having one problem.  I have a number of "text substitutions" 
set up in System Settings that don't seem to work in BBEdit.  For instance, 
under "Language & Text" if you go to the "Text" pane I have the table there 
set up to substitute ";qb" with "quarterback".  This works in pretty much 
all of the other programs I use but not BBEdit.  Is there a setting 
somewhere that I need to adjust to get this to work there, too?

Thanks for any help.

Tom S.

Re: Overtype is there such a thing?

[Tom Robinson]

When I asked about adding an overtype mode a long time ago (to TextWrangler?), 
I was left with no uncertainty that's it's a path Bare Bones won't be going 
down :-)

Even in the SAS editor which supports it, I barely use it anymore--it's faster 
to realign columns after editing than go in & out of overtype mode.

Cheers

Sources), you can also 'type' them directly:  e.g. option-0, option-0, 
option-0, option-9 (U+0009) yields a tab.

You may be able to use BBEdit Clippings too, I haven't played with them.

Re: Missing ASCII Palette?

[Tom Robinson]

I don't follow how leaving the system character viewer open (once customised) 
and using that is more convoluted than leaving BBEdit's open and using it?

Re: Managing WebObjects project in BBEdit?

[Tom Termini]

Hmmm, while I am *not* a fan of Eclipse, it is most definitely the way to 
go with WebObjects. Sure, I miss the quirks of ProjectBuilder, but, let's 
face it: Eclipse is the way to go for Java development.

You can keep up your love of all things Xcode by developing iOS apps. Of 
course, familiarity with the legacy that Objective C has on WebObjects 
helps, but at least you'll be able to study NIBs and use cool interface 
builder tools.

Wonder is a must for WebObjects, and the Holy Fathers who *are* the keepers 
of the flame of WebObjects continue to do a great job building out WO.

BTW, I love BBEdit, and use it as my HTML (interface) editor for my 
WebObjects work.

Re: Need Code

[Tom Robinson]

That's not something BBEdit can do.  Try Automator, AppleScript, or something 
similar to this on the command line (this code adds the prefix '403' to all the 
files in the current directory):

for f in *; do mv "$f" "403 $f"; done

Re: Automatically opening window as wide as the longest line

[Tom Robinson]

If the filename & location is always the same, then hit save after widening the 
window, and BBEdit will remember the setting for next time.

(Hmm... this is probably dependant on a setting to save window state, but it 
works in my setup.)

You could also control this from a Mail rule--open & resize when the message 
arrives; or maybe even an AppleScript action attached to the Mail download 
folder--open & resize when attachment is saved into folder.

Open related on FTP server

[Tom Robinson]

Hi guys

I have 2 HTML documents on an FTP server (in different directories), which I 
regularly edit with BBEdit (using Open from FTP Server).  They’re closely 
related to each other, so it would be nice to be able to open one, then use 
Open Related or similar to open the other one, instead of navigating to it.

Can I use something like Open Related to accomplish this?

I’m thinking a shortcut in the document, rather than elsewhere, so others can 
follow the trail too — it’s already in the comments.

Cheers

Open Counterpart sounds like what I need thanks Charlie, but BBEdit just beeps

Re: How can I gather data from a set of HTML documents and place it in an Excel spreadsheet?

[Tom Robinson]

You could always hire a student.

Someone would have to spend an hour or two investigating and coding that up.  
Still, you might get lucky.

Personally I spend a reasonable amount of time and dollars ensuring I have good 
backups, including offsite.  I spend more time either setting up backups for 
family, friends, and clients; or encouraging them to do so.

Re: Text Parsing

You could also try option-selecting a block of text in Preview before copying, 
as that can improve formatting.

Also LibreOffice can open PDFs into a drawing document, where you can then

Re: BBEdit slow large file opening

[Tom Robinson]

Don't know if it's still the case, but a version or 2 ago the default for
Soft Wrap Text made a huge difference to the speed of BBEdit opening large
files.

Show file info in Hierarchy

[Tom Carlson]

Hi,

This is my first time here, so I hope I am using the correct verbiage:

I have used BBEdit to create a hierarchical folder tree of the contents of 
a hard drive which I am archiving. I simply dragged the top level folder 
into the BBEdit window and the tree was created. From that point, I can 
copy and paste it into Excel for further tweaking and delivery. I am 
wondering now if there is a simple way to also list file info such as date 
created and size for the files in the same hierarchal list.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tom Carlson

Re: Show file info in Hierarchy

[Tom Carlson]

Thank you Fletcher. I tried that but it didn't seem to work. Here is my 
command and the response:

Toms-MacBook-Pro:4 D2 Mix tomcarlson$ ls -l | bbedit

-bash: bbedit: command not found

Toms-MacBook-Pro:4 D2 Mix tomcarlson$ 

Am I typing something incorrectly here? By the way, this is my first time 
using the terminal as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm messing up 
the syntax somehow...

Re: How to change a TOC with text factories (or AppleScript or RegEx)?

[Tom Robinson]

You've enthused me to look at libraries again.  Interested to know why you're 
saving the location though — from my reading anything in ~/Library/Script 
Libraries is in the AppleScript search path and you just need to write 'use 
script My Library.scpt'?

Re: Auto save when losing focus

[Tom Mai]

Got it! For those who'd like to auto-save with Keyboard Maestro:

1. Create a new Macro in "Global Macro Group" (It's important to use this 
group – that was my fault)
2. Define this trigger: "This application: BBEdit Deactivates"
3. Define this action: "Execute Apple Script" and insert TJ's script

If you want to save all changed docs that already have a file name, then 
you can use this script in step #3:

tell application "BBEdit"
set docList to every text document
repeat with doc in docList
if doc is modified then
if doc is on disk then
save doc
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell


While searching for how to save all changed documents I stumbled upon this:
https://gist.github.com/benspaulding/1287814/
This Script saves all changes w/o Keyboard Maestro. Downside: You can't 
disable it as easy as you can in KM.

I'll go with Keyboard Macro because you can easily disable the "Auto Save" 
feature.

Re: Can't quit BBEdit

[Tom Mai]

Got it!
Found the "culprit": It's a certain Keyboard Maestro action – or simply my 
stupidity.

When pressing Cmt+Q, BBEdit really tries to quit – no alerts or whatever 
that would stop the process. While shutting down, it loses focus, and that 
triggers the Keyboard Maestro macro I use for Auto Saving. Here's the 
Script:

tell application "BBEdit"
set docList to every text document
repeat with doc in docList
if doc is modified then
if doc is on disk then
save doc
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell

This "reanimates" BBEdit.
Well then... thanks again :)

Duplicate text

[Tom Mai]

I've used the "duplicate line(s) up-/downwards" AppleScript from Johan 
Sölve for a while, but have not been totally pleased with it because of its 
missing ability to duplicate only the selected part of a sentence.
Meanwhile I've looked a bit into AppleScript and now here's a script, that 
works (almost) like the "duplicate" command of TextMate and SublimeText.
Maybe you have use for it...

bb Tom

set selLength to (length of selection)

Odd:  it expands *some* shortcuts for me, e.g. '.12' = '½'.

It's annoying, because unlike other apps you don't get the opportunity to 
decline the replacement; and my normally safe prefix of dot gets used a lot in 
grep patterns.

People have been saying that for years.  AppleScript may not be a high priority 
for Apple, but they diligently keep it running despite the OS evolving (e.g. 
sandboxing), and there's always a few new features each OS release (e.g.

Dropbox sync when using Dropbox for Business

[Tom Streeter]

I have a personal Dropbox account and a work account. I'd like to sync my 
BBEdit clippings, text factories and the like via my personal account. 
 Unfortunately it appears that BBEdit hardwires the sharing to this path:

Users//Dropbox/ Application Support/BBEdit/ 

When (in my case) my Dropbox folder is named:

Users//Dropbox (Personal)/ Application Support/BBEdit/ 

And, before you ask, I can't change that directory name.

Any way around this?

Thanks!

Re: BBEdit 11 Randomly(?) Tiling Windows

[Tom Robinson]

Sounds like you're after this undocumented expert pref:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit CascadeNewWindows -bool NO

Re: Recent items appearing next to Dock icon in OS X v10.11.2

[Tom Robinson]

Don't right-click the Dock icon? :]

I find it handy:  you can open a recent and switch to BBEdit with a single 
click.

Excluding a directory from the project files list

[Tom Mai]

I am trying to exclude the directory "m" (or at least the files inside this 
directory) from my project files list by defining a filter (via "Manage 
filters..." at the bottom of the list) — without success.

These rules don't seem to work:

File path [Does not match wildcard pattern] */m/*
File path [Does not match wildcard pattern] *m*
File path [Does not start with] m
File path [Does not contain] m
File name [Is not] m

Hm... so what's the trick?

Thanks 
Tom

Colour background of scratchpad

[Tom Robinson]

Hi, I’m wanting to colour the background of the Scratchpad window to make it 
standout.

Thinking I could do this by creating a colour scheme with the desired 
background (or use ‘Dusk’), creating an empty custom language, assigning the 
new colour scheme to that language in the Custom Language Prefs, and finally 
set the language of the Scratchpad window to said language.

Seems convoluted, have I missed something?

Cheers

Re: Disabling Search/Find Dialog from showing up on all desktops

[Tom Mai]

I normally keep the "Open file by name" window open, in order to bypass the 
time-consuming indexing process.
But this window follows me to each one of my virtual desktops (while the 
main/app window stays on its desktop). That's not ideal... 
Would be great to see that fixed.

Re: Inverted question marks and carriage returns

[Tom Robinson]

I realise sarcasm is engaged, but BBEdit does normally handle line breaks 
transparently, so there’s probably an inconsistent mixture in those docs.

Re: Kite - Interesting for you too?

[Tom Mai]

Thanks Vlad, but I don't think that Kite is interesting for me:

* It works by sending my code to a server where it gets analyzed: Sounds 
like lots of delays, if you don't have a super fast internet connection.
* If I need documentation and/or examples, I use Dash. This requires just a 
key combination and is much more versatile than Kite.
* When working on large projects, I use PhpStorm. This IDE detects errors 
too and makes suggestions how to fix them. 
And it shows help for functions (my own ones included) like Kite and many 
things more.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at the trial version of 
PhpStorm!
To get a bit back to topic... ;) ... I mostly use PhpStorm and BBEdit side 
by side: PhpStorm for heavy coding, BBEdit mostly for documentation and 
notes.

Re: Colored Text String

[Tom Robinson]

Presuming you’re only expecting colourisation in the editor, and not saved to 
the file, etc.:

You *should* be able to do that through a Codeless Language Module and 10–20 
lines of XML:

Re: Why this layout?

Line 74 is too wide to fit within the window, so BBEdit has split the line
