* Allows tabbing between function parameters (very handy…)

Could you please explain that? How have you setup your clippings so that tabbing between parameters works?


Charlie

BBEdit includes a feature called "placeholders". Placeholders are any text surrounded by <# and #>. When you select "Go to Next Placeholder" from the Search menu, the text (and the markers) are selected. In the example below, the "width" parameter would be selected and you could immediately start typing its value, replacing the placeholder with the actual required value (which in a real-world scenario would probably be a variable).

<cursor position> imagecreatetruecolor ( <#int width#>, <#int height#> )<#;#>

Placeholders have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them. Using this technique you can navigate from one parameter to the next, adding the required values, without the need for a mouse and with an absolute minimum of keystrokes.

Does that help?

I'll probably add this to the instructions page as well if it does help.
