Hey Kerri,

You can skip a couple of steps.

Once you select your "silly" column you can just type in the replacement text 
(or paste).

I’ve made it once step better:



by adding the following actions:

a) Type the ⌥Left Arrow Keystroke
b) Type the ⌥⇧Right Arrow Keystroke

to the old ones:

c) Type the ⌘E Keystroke
d) Type the ⌘F Keystroke
e) Type the Tab Keystroke

so that I don’t have to activate the word any more but only put the cursor 
somewhere within.

It works and it feels fast enough for me but I suppose it will be even faster 
with an AppleScript (right, Chris?).


Regards,
Vlad

It certainly certainly be nice if Bare Bones added this functionality 
(multi-cursor/editing all selected/marked text in one fell swoop). The 
underpinnings all seem to be there now.

Re: Edit all selected (?)

[Bruce Van Allen]

What Fletcher describes is exactly what I do, too, and really, 
isn't it exactly what the OP is asking for? SEEING repeated 
instances of a bit of text is handy, but in my view, OPERATING 
on repeated instances rightly needs another couple steps. The 
assorted BBEdit commands Fletcher describes make it easy to 
operate quickly but also carefully if needed. If it isn't clear, 
much of the time you can use these commands with key 
combinations and never even see the "Find" dialog or click a 
Menu bar...

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 (⌥⌘=)

I’ve made a Keyboard Maestro - macro for only the above steps (triggered by CMD

Hey Vlad,

Good idea.

Those who don't have Keyboard Maestro can save an AppleScript to the scripts 
folder, and give it a keyboard shortcut in BBEdit's Menus & Shortcuts prefs.


tell application "BBEdit"
  set _text to contents of text of selection
  set findWindow to open find window
  tell findWindow to set text 1 to _text
end tell
tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab

Take Care,
Chris

Edit all selected (?)

[Greg Raven]

In the latest versions of BBEdit, if you have the cursor on a word (or have 
a word or words selected), and the text under the cursor (or selected text) 
occurs elsewhere in your document, those other instances will be marked.

Is there a way of editing all selected/marked text in a document in one 
felt swoop?

I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation.
