Updating the CSS language server

[Oliver Boermans]

The CSS language server I have installed
(vscode-css-languageserver-bin@1.4.0) does not support many newer CSS
features (e.g. nesting).

Today is the day I’ve got around to looking into updating it.

I’d hoped running an npm update command would do it. Unfortunately the npm
module has fallen into public archived status:
https://github.com/vscode-langservers/vscode-css-languageserver-bin

This package in contrast is receiving regular attention:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice

Before I attempt to figure out how to wire this up to BBEdit, has anyone
else explored this issue?

Cheers Ollie

Re: how to diff selected paragraphs only

[Oliver Boermans]

I would recommend, if you are not already, trying Git or similar source
control tool.
With frequent commits Git chunks up your changes nicely and BBEdit’s
integration with it works well.

Yeah plain strings in the (Run Unix Filter | Options… | Arguments:) field

Re: Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Thanks Charlie,

I tried including a couple of those BBEdit ENV vars in the arguments field:
$BB_DOC_NAME $BB_DOC_PATH

These arguments don’t come through so I suppose that meant they resolved to
null.

Only arguments that come through are those that are there even if I don’t
explicitly pass through any additional arguments:
["/usr/local/Cellar/node@8
/8.12.0/bin/node","/Users/ollie/Scripts/bin/js/extract-post/index.js"]

Which are paths to the executable running my script, and the script itself.

I wondering if the issue lies *between* BBEdit and Node.js. I’ll do some
experiments with shell scripts instead. Perhaps I can call out to my
Node.js script from bash or something.

Re: Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Thanks Charlie,
I can pass in strings (space separated splits them into separate args as
you suggested). The manual is rather trim on details on this feature, no
mention of placeholders working here. Although experimenting randomly I
found strings starting with $ or # appear to be ignored, but I expect that
is nothing to do with BBEdit.

Text factory unix script arguments

[Oliver Boermans]

Dear BBEditor,

What does one enter in the *Arguments*: field in the options for the *Run
Unix Filter* Options dialog? And how are these arguments made available to
the unix script?
[image: text-factory-unix-filter-arguments.png]
Why? you ask…

I’m hoping there is a means to pass the path/file name of the Text
factoried file to my Unix Filter (Node.js script).

These are the current env vars provided to my node script:
{
"SHELL": "/bin/zsh",
"TMPDIR": "/var/folders/nh/ztnj0gf16vj5vc4012pw1lrmgn/T/",
"Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render":
"/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.fqgVlq7mRd/Render",
"SUDO_ASKPASS":
"/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/XPCServices/BBShellCommandXPCService.xpc/Contents/SharedSupport/sudoaskpass-helper",
"USER": "ollie",
"COMMAND_MODE": "unix2003",
"SSH_AUTH_SOCK": "/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.bW5qk4zRJf/Listeners",
"__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING": "0x1F5:0x0:0x2",
"PATH": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
"PWD": "/",
"XPC_FLAGS": "0x0",
"XPC_SERVICE_NAME": "com.apple.xpc.launchd.oneshot.0x1007.BBEdit",
"SSH_ASKPASS":
"/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/XPCServices/BBShellCommandXPCService.xpc/Contents/SharedSupport/sshaskpass-helper",
"SHLVL": "1",
"HOME": "/Users/ollie",
"LOGNAME": "ollie",
"DISPLAY":
"/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.mtxd7Q1mzv/org.macosforge.xquartz:0",
"SECURITYSESSIONID": "186a7",
"_": "/usr/local/opt/node@8/bin/node"
}

Having the path to the processed file will allow me to generate an
additional file in the same parent directory as the original. I want to
extract some text from the first file and place it in a second generated by
my js script.

A Text factory is useful for me here as these files are many and exist in a
deep tree of directories.

Thanks in advance for any pointers!
Cheers
Ollie

Keyboard shortcut to reverse deletion direction

[Oliver Boermans]

Every once in while I accidentally hit a unknown keyboard shortcut that
results in the delete key deleting the following rather than previous
character in all BBEdit windows.
Restarting BBEdit restores the regular behaviour.

Any ideas as to what the shortcut might be? Not absolutely sure it is
BBEdit specific.

Thanks in advance.

Re: One-liner to replace multiple spaces between words (only words) with one space isn't working

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Dj,

To address the shebang issue ensure the first line of your script file
includes something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl

I don’t know the first thing about Perl, fortunately replacing multiple
spaces with single spaces is a simple search and replace with grep in
BBEdit:

Search for (omitting "):
"\s+"

Replace with (omitting "):
" "

I notice you are also capitalising the first letter of the line.
This can be done with a menu command: Text > Change Case > Capitalize Lines

Hope this helps
Cheers Ollie

Re: CSS parser

[Oliver Boermans]

Can’t be sure without seeing the CSS you are attempting to parse, although
that error suggests somewhere in the CSS there is a missing or extra: ",',
(, ), [, ], {, or }

The parser appears to expect valid CSS.

To find the problem test with a tool like:
https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Or for more extensive feedback: http://csslint.net/

This last one is available as a command line tool which could potentially
be wired into BBEdit:

Re: Any tricks to set the non-default value of "Strip trailing whitespace" for an individual file?

[Oliver Boermans]

BBEdit has support for https://editorconfig.org/ which allows this and
other settings to be customised per directory or based on file name.
Has been a while since I read the appropriate portion of the BBEdit User
Manual (Find it in the help menu, recommended!), but it may be necessary to
be working in BBEdit project for this to work.

Hope this gets you on the path.
Cheers Ollie

Re: Edit Source Code with jQuery ??

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Rick,

What you are asking is as you suspect, beyond BBEdit. It will however
readily integrate with other tools that will make it _feel_ like it is :)

My first thought was something like: 
Will be worth hunting around for someone who has turned it into a
Commandline tool already, perhaps:

Re: HTML mode confusion

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Seamus,

The intention I believe is to first select the portion of text you would
like to be *wrapped* with the anchor tag before clicking the button in the
HTML tools. linked text

Although BBEdit is great for editing HTML, I would recommend you do so
alongside the developer tools of a modern browser. I personally enjoy using
Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools

Learning your way around these tools will help you learn how the HTML/CSS
works in websites in the wild. For a quick into checkout:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Page_Inspector/UI_Tour

Welcome to the web!

Re: Recommended way of selecting from a list in a clipping

this AppleScript will help:

Re: AppleScript for Word-Selection at the Cursor

[Oliver Boermans]

I’ve fantasised about taking keyboard word selection further, I’d like the
same keyboard shortcut to do a little more if the word was already
>selected<.

Specifically I’d like it to attempt to expand to inside (then around) the
next closest pair of delimiters (<[{“"''"”}]>), a “selection expander” e.g.

before:
"Mary P>oPoppins<"

after:
">Mary Poppins<"

after:
>"Mary Poppins"<

and so on…

Some time ago I made a start on attempting this, but sadly didn’t get very
far.

Re: Upgrading and Apple Scripts

I say give it a shot.
Keep a copy of BBEdit 9, make sure your Application Support/bbedit folder

There may be breaking changes, but I expect they are relatively few.

This could be very-hard with Regex depending on what else may be in the

What do you want to do with the div once you have isolated it?

I expect there is a command line tool that would make the task of

Re: Control-drag to duplicate

[Oliver Boermans]

Option, in place of Control, is the magic key for drag–drop copy–paste in
BBEdit.

Re: Can't make "search in project" work

[Oliver Boermans]

Selecting Search in  ought to open the Multi file search
window.
The menu bar greys out like you described when a window such as this is in
focus.Perhaps it is open, but offscreen.
Try closing it (while the menu bar is greyed) with Command-W before trying
again.
Hopefully this will reset the window position to somewhere visible. If not
I suggest shooting an email to supp...@barebones.com

I have seen this occasionally with the regular find window. Do you have
multiple displays like I do?

Re: How to Process a GROUP of Lines Containing . . .

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Bill,

In BBEdit I would first reformat the XML:

Markup > Utilities > Format

Select *Mode: Compact* to put all the code on one line.

Then search 
and replace with \n

 So now each  tag is on one line.

This will make the “per line” tools more useful.

Once you are done sorting you could revisit Format.

Cheers
Ollie

Not sure what is tripping up the validation.

When I unencoded and re-encoded the href I got:
admin%40covisp.net
%3FSubject%3D21-Feb-2017%20185.12.124.66%26Body%3DPlease%20check%20this.%0A%0Asywh7235352%

Although this appears to be over-zealous.

I vaguely recall there are some encoding gotchas specific to email, but
without Googling I don’t remember specifics.

Re: How to Select Non-Contiguous Text

[Oliver Boermans]

Bill, I see what you are looking for is somewhat more complicated!
For non-contiguous text selection to work in the desired manner it would
still be necessary for the machine to create some flavour of grep pattern
based on your selection. So it follows, until such time that this genius
creation exists, it ought to be possible to manually write a pattern that
does the job for you now.
How is your grep foo? Have you been down that path?
Cheers
Ollie

Re: Hiding directories from project file list

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Tom,

I don't believe the feature you are looking for exists. Although:

If you are using Git there is an option to hide files and directories that are 
match patterns in a .gitignore file.

For similar effect, rather than creating the project by opening a folder with 
BBEdit, I have created a new empty project before adding the files/folders I 
want – omitting those I don't.

HTH
Cheers Ollie

Environment variables in BBEdit scripts

If I execute this script from the scripts menu in BBEdit:

Should I be seeing BB_DOC_NAME, BB_DOC_PATH and friends in the list that is

I have been attempting to use these variables in a script, but they are
returning nothing, i.e.

#!/bin/sh
echo $BB_DOC_NAME


What might I be missing?

Any pointers are very welcome.

BBPackage Contents/Resources/ from Contents/Text Filters

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi all,

Trying to get my head around Text Filters in BBEdit, was reading:
http://bbedit-hints.tumblr.com/post/80971432181/using-global-node-modules-in-bbedit-text-filters

Referencing a file in Contents/Resources is working for me in a script run
from Contents/Scripts:

#!/usr/bin/env ../Resources/node_runner.sh


But a script with the same first line run from Contents/Text Filters gets
me:

env: ../Resources/node_runner.sh: No such file or directory


Is there a reason it works in one and not the other?

Thanks
Ollie

Custom text file icons based on extension

[Oliver Boermans]

Apologies if this is more of a general OS X than a specific BBEdit question.

I would love to be able to have visibly different small icons for the large
number of text files I regularly work within a BBEdit project (e.g. .js
.html .scss .coffee). Although I don’t want to give up BBEdit as the
default editor for these file extensions.

Just now I opened a folder containing some python (.py) text files as a
project  in BBEdit. I was surprised to see text files lacking the ever
present BBEdit icon in the project drawer.

The icon was unusual to my eye as I have BBEdit set as the default editor
for pretty much every flavour of text file and as a result _they all look
the same_. I don’t normally write Python and it was an Xcode icon I was
seeing.

Can I have my cake and eat it too?

Fine regards
Ollie

Re: Getting just the differences.

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Lee,

this may work for you if you are happy sharing the whole line containing
the difference and the two documents are mostly the same.

1. Make a copy of each file and remove any obvious unimportant difference
between them. (Particularly line breaks)

2. Ensure the lines within each document are unique – prefix each line of
both documents with a number

Text > Add/Remove Line Numbers…
✓Insert – with other settings to your taste.

3. Copy and paste the contents of the first document into the end of the
second.

4. Remove duplicate lines:

 Text > Process Duplicate lines
 ✓Matching All and ✓Delete duplicate lines

5. Sort lines to unite the different lines

 Text > Sort Lines…

Hope that helps

Cheers
Ollie

Re: Suppress _most_ images

Not sure if Firebug does, but Firefox can filter network requests:

When there is an instance of the desired replacement within easy reach the
Use Selection for Replace shortcut is nice to have too:

1. Select text to replace.
2. Invoke: Search: Use selection for find (⌘E)
3. Select the text to replace it
4. Invoke: Search: Use Selection for Replace (⌘⌥E)
5. Invoke: Search: Find… (⌘F)

Re: Edit all selected (?)

I have seen the feature multi cursor feature in other editors, BBEdit does
not.

The BBEdit way would be to use search and replace:

1. Select the text
2. Invoke: Search: Use Selection for Find (⌘E)
3. Invoke: Search: Find… (⌘F)
4. TAB into the Replacement field and enter a replacement
5. Replace All (⌥⌘=)

Re: Help getting a codeless language module working

[Oliver Taylor]

Have you tried wrapping the contents of your "Identifier and Keyword Character 
Class” inside a CDATA wrapper <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA>?

You can find the latest version of my code - which still works in the latest 
BBEdit - on GitHub 
<https://github.com/olivertaylor/textplay.bbpackage/blob/master/Contents/Language%20Modules/textplay.plist>.

It’s not perfect - for example, the keywords only work when alone on a line - 
but I’m a little fuzzy, it’s been a while!

Re: BBEdit logfile

[Oliver Brodwolf]

Hello Rich

> I will repeat my previous question: What problem are you trying to solve?

There is no problem.
Sometime I want to look back, and see all files which have been changed.
And in OS X, I can only search to "last modified". And BBEdit knows for each 
file, the "whole" history. And then I found the DocumentRevisions-V100 folder, 
and I think bbedit get the data from this source.
I know, a other method could be to use a version control.

> Don't do that. It depends on internals of the OS which are fragile and

Why not. I copy the database before I make the query.

Re: Regex Question

[Oliver Taylor]

Holger,

When I need to figure out a regex pattern I have a rough idea of, but want to 
refine, tools like the one linked below are vital.

 Hi Alex,
 
 this is actually quite a good approach. It doesn't solve it in one pass, but 
 thinking to start at the end of the line (\r) seems to be a good idea which I 
 somehow didn't think of before.
 
 I tried this: \n\s+-\s?(.+)$
 
 and replace with: \1,
 
 which results in categories:A, B, C,
 
 Seems to be as close as I can get in one pass and in the end much simpler 
 than my initial approach ;)
 
 Thanks,

 Hi,
 
 I know there's some very talented regex people on this list, so after
 unsuccessfully trying to solve this, I'm giving it a shot here.
 
 I'm trying to achieve the following search/replace and am not sure if it's
 even possible in one pass. I believe the solution would be to find an 
 unknown number of a repeating pattern and capturing each one at the same 
 time.
 
 The text I'm searching looks like this, with the categories ranging from one
 to n:
 
 categories:
 - cat 1
 - cat 2
 - …
 - cat n
 
 The result I would like to achieve should be:
 
 categories: cat 1, cat 2, …, cat n
 
 The way I solved it for now is by modifying the pattern for different 
 numbers
 of categories, but obviously this is not very efficient…
 
 Search, e.g. 5 categories:
 categories:\r\s+-\s?((.+)\s?)(\r\s+-\s?(.+)\s?)(\r\s+-\s?(.+)\s?)(\r\s+-\s?(.+)\
 s?)(\r\s+-\s?(.+)\s?)(\r\s+-\s?(.+)\s?)
 
 Replace:
 
 categories: \1, \4, \6, \8, \10, \12\r
 
 Would appreciate any help or pointers on this.
 
 Thanks and a good weekend,
 Holger

Re: Clippings, options, auto-complete and keyboarding

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Ted,

I understand, I too spent some time looking for an approach that was ever
so more slightly automagical. Interested to see what you come up with.

It is possible call a script to populate the text within BBEdit clippings:

 #script /Users/me/example/folder/Script.scpt#

Presumably this could open a dialog to present options before the clipping
is inserted.

Trouble was, I couldn’t see a mechanism to pass arguments to the script
upon execution. As a result every clipping would need it’s own script. This
makes the shortcuts BBEdit provides to edit and create clippings “on the
fly” less useful.

I went with requiring an additional shortcut to extract the options. This
had the possibly useful side effect of allowing the same mechanism to work
on any text selection – not just clipping contents.

Cheers
Ollie

 but one can always hope) I'll take what you've done and see if I can work
 it into my own workflow and share that.

 Hey Brian,

 I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want, especially since I don't
 do CSS.

 What I think I'm reading is that you want to be able to emplace the
 clipping - then make a selection of the desired option via the keyboard -
 and then remove the other options.

 What I've done is change the clipping text so that the options are
 tokenized.

 You expand the clipping and TAB to the desired option - then you run the
 AppleScript with a keyboard shortcut to remove the undesired text.

 The Clipping:

 display:
 @#none#|#•inline•#|#•block•#|#inline-block#|#list-item#|#run-in#|#compact#|#marker#@;

 * Items with bullets are reserved expansion-tokens in BBEdit.
 * @ character marks beginning and end of replacement text.

 tell *application* BBEdit
   tell front *text window*

Re: A notebook for BBEdit?

 What I want to do is to have some kind of notebook where I can dump

 Does anyone have any other app I should take a look at?

BBEdit Extract Placeholder

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi all,

I have written a script for BBEdit that someone here may find
#useful|interesting|amusing#

https://github.com/ollicle/BBEdit-Extract-Placeholder

Finally got around to playing with making some Clippings for my own use. In
a number of them I was using the placeholders to aid in the selection of
text portions that were to be optionally present. The initial intention of
the script was to simply remove BBEdit placeholder delimiters from around
the selected text, e.g. #label# = label

Naturally I got carried away and added more features :-)

As a side note, for the sake of it being possible, I really wanted to do
this with JavaScript (as now enabled in Yosemite), but failed to even get
the basics of getting and setting the selection working. I’ve seen a few
examples that use node.js but none of the native js support.

Cheers
Ollie

Re: Text factory - transform files in folder A and write to folder B, possibly with new extension?

 On 4 Dec 2014, at 4:16 AM, Martin Post martinpostber...@gmail.com wrote:
 
 I am often using Text Factories (usually just 5-10 GREP replacements) to 
 convert files from one format to another. These Text Factories work as they 
 should. However, this will modify the respective documents (in memory) and 
 then (optionally) save them to disk, _replacing_ the original files. Now 
 let's assume I have 40 XML files that I converted into HTML. After running 
 the Text Factory, I have to go to the Finder, change the file extension to 
 .html, and then I can validate my files. Now if something went wrong, I 
 need to create another copy of the original XML file and start again. I am 
 testing rather complex text factories here, which I sometimes need to modify 
 on the fly. It would just be nice if I could tweak a text factory, have it 
 process the files in folder A and write the converted files to folder B, 
 without having to copy or rename files manually.

You may not realize it, but what you really want is a set of shell scripts (sh, 
perl, python, whatever). You can run them remotely from your cheap laptop via 
ssh. But that’s not really your question.

Text Factories cannot, themselves, duplicate files, they can only act on files. 
So you’ll need an automated way to do that. Applescript is certainly capable of 
this, but you’re probably better off learning how to make a shell script at 
that point. But there’s always Automator.

BBEdit has Automator action, which you can download here 
http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/automator.html. You can’t run a Text 
Factory directly from Automator, but you might be able to re-construct your 
text-filter using the actions. And if you can do that, then you can use all the 
other system functions in Automator to duplicate and move files. You can even 
set it to watch folder and act on files automatically.

Luckily, you can also run automator actions via the shell, so you can do all 
this remotely.

Re: Interesting issue with files in a project

It's possible that, even if the path is the same, BBEdit is using a unique 
identifier for the mounted volume - that might change between mounts. But I 
don't actually know if that's true.

Can you still click on, and edit, the files even after they turn red? I've had 
that happen a lot. A file turns red because I've moved it but once I click on 
it BBEdit opens the file just fine and the name goes back to black.

Fountain BBEdit Package

[Oliver Taylor]

If, by some twist of fate, there's anyone else out there that uses BBEdit to 
write Fountain documents (http://fountain.io), you might be interested to know 
that I've published a package designed to make working with Fountain documents 
easier. It includes some handy clippings, scripts, filters, and a language 
module that makes moving around and folding easier. You can find it here: 
https://github.com/olivertaylor/textplay.bbpackage.

Please contribute on GitHub if you see something that needs improving.

It goes very well with my command-line Fountain conversion utility: Textplay

BBEdit projects are just collections of local files. The only SFTP tools BBEdit

reStructuredText preview filter

Pandoc reads from STDIN and prints to STDOUT - the following works great in the

echo this is **marked-up** text | pandoc -f rst -t html

  =pthis is strongmarked-up/strong text/p

My thought (and I’m sure this isn’t correct) was that making a Preview Filter

pandoc -f rst -t html

…but no luck. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Re: Markdown and HTML auto complete

[Oliver Taylor]

On Nov 20, 2013, at 6:37 AM, Rick Yentzer ryent...@gmail.com wrote:

 I would like the ability to autocomplete html within an .md file.

What BBEdit auto-completes is largely a function of the current language 
setting. By default, the Markdown language does not have html tags in its 
auto-complete library (I’m paraphrasing here).

You could switch the language of the current document on the fly (doesn’t 
matter what kind of document it actually is). Below, I’ve pasted an applescript 
to toggle the front document’s language between HTML and Markdown. Assign that 
a hotkey and then just switch depending on what kind of auto-complete you want 
on a moment-by-moment basis. BBEdit is even smart enough to switch clipping 
sets when you switch languages.


tell application BBEdit
set docLang to source language of text document 1
if (docLang is HTML) then
set source language of text document 1 to Markdown
else
set source language of text document 1 to HTML
end if
end tell


 Currently, when I type a tag element, I'm able to auto close it. I can select 
 an element from the menu or shortcut key, such as an image or a link, but I 
 cannot select the Edit Markup menu item.

The edit markup menu item only works in Markdown documents when you’re inside 
an html tag.

 Also, BBEdit doesn't handle syntax coloring of html elements in markdown 
 beyond a simple element tag.

BBEdit was never designed for this kind of deep integration of languages. The 
first editor I’m aware of that did it was Textmate. These days Textmate 2 or 
Sublime Text might be more what you’re looking for - though I’m not familiar 
enough with them to promise that.

tell application BBEdit
try
-- test to see if input has a matching character - {}()[] etc.

if surround is in {{} then
set selection to {  selection  }
else if surround is in {(} then
set selection to (  selection  )
else if surround is in {[} then
set selection to [  selection  ]

Re: Clippings with multiple similarly-named substitution placeholders

 Is there anyway to have the second and third #name# be replaced with the 
 value I type into the first?

I'd love to be proven wrong, but as far as I can tell this (much vaunted 
TextMate feature) is not possible.

However, you could write an AppleScript that would prompt you for the #name# 
and insert/transform the text you want.

Re: Resizeable 'Currently Open Documents' frame

 Collapsing the project list or opening the Windows palette are not acceptable

This is a forum for users. If you have a feature request you should submit it 
directly to the developers.

About a dozen people have attempted to help you (more than once) work around 
this limitation - that's all this mailing list can do. Is there something else 
we can do to help you?

Re: Soft Wrap and search replace project file

 So is there any way to either fix my preferences to do the softwrap for the 
 project

I can think of a few things that might help:

  1. Set BBEdit's default to soft-wrap
  2. Set a hot key for your soft-wrap preference

But having a number after your log files' extension is problematic.

 create an applescript that will both soft wrap to the window width as well as 
 search and replace  with \r automatically or where I can at least bind it 
 to a key?

The following applescript will do both, you can assign it a hot-key. There's 
probably a way to replace in the frontmost project, but I'm not certain how to 
do that.

tell application BBEdit
tell window 1 to set soft wrap text to true
replace  using \\n searching in text of front window options 
{search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap around:false, backwards:false, 
case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend selection:false}
end tell

I can't speak for Bare Bones, but that's probably exactly what they're 
thinking. My guess is that they don't want to add the complexity, or, you know, 
they're too busy adding features they think are more important.

Re: Select word

 What I'm looking for is a way to select a word and then select more words 
 until I get the selection I want.
 
 I'll use this as an example:
 grunt-contrib-nodeunit
 
 If my cursor is in the middle of the word contrib then I can double click 
 to select it, or I can use John Gruber's Select Word script.
 If my cursor is in the middle of contrib and I want to select the text 
 between the double quotes, what is the best solution?

See here: http://olivertaylor.net/bbedit_movement/

The select word script in that package assumes hyphenated words should be 
selected when you want to select word.
