Thank you all very much, this is very helpful. BB Edit is an
amazingly complex program. I've been using it for about 8 years, but
there are still so many things it can do that I just haven't had the
time to learn.

I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would
like the ability to use key-commands to paste commonly-used text
in my HTML documents. A common phrase might be something like:
<P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="2">
You can *sort of* do this by assigning key commands to various
inline markup phrase elements, but not with the degree of
customization I am hoping for.
Multiple clipboards also *almost* does this, but I am looking for
more of a permanent multiple clipboard, and the ability to post
any number of them instantly, without having to scroll through the
various clipboards to find what I want. Again, one key-command per
paste would be great.
Does BB Edit allow this sort of functionality?
Yes - the Glossary will allow you to insert common bits of text, as
well as perform simple expansions on that text.
For example, you might actually want to create a glossary item
which reads
<P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="2">#selectionorinsertion#</FONT></P>
Which will put the selected text there if there was any, otherwise
it will leave the insertion point there so you can type something.
