I used a trial version of bbedit and am very much impressed by the code completion feature in 9.2 I am a textmate user planning to switch to bbedit, because I feel bbedit has all the features and more in a more user friendly way.. for "low end users". Textmate for example has code completion but to get it to work is very cumbersome. Install dialog 2 and so on and so forth. Its definitely not for non programmers.
My feature request is to run a line of terminal command when the user presses a keyboard shortcut. The application of that is like this... To do a calculation for example celcius to kelvin conversion, I can type [calc.ctok 211]. then press the shortcut when the cursor is after the closing bracket. BBedit should select the text including the closing brackets and pass it to a terminal script. The terminal script runs, does the calculation and returns the results. The result get pasted into the selection or is shown in a tool tip. I wished it was possible to make bbedit parse an xml file when it detects a pattern like "[calc" and then when the user types a "." the code completion pop up will show the child elements of the <calc> tag in the xml it is reading. That way I can define rules for such a calculator trigger in an xml file but use bbedit to fill my documents without ever resorting to OSX calculator or some other application or without taking my hands off the keyboard. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
