Thanks Roland,
I have not used AppleScript before - but it appears to be an ideal
solution in this case. I started by recording, then a little bit of
editing. I prefer to have the wrap around option turned off in this
case, and used a regular expression for finding whitespace-only lines.
Here's my version for the sake of completeness:
'next blank line' - assigned to control-option-down arrow
tell application "BBEdit"
find "^[[:space:]]*$" searching in (text 1 of window 1) options
{search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false} with selecting match
end tell
'previous blank line' - assigned to control-option-up arrow
tell application "BBEdit"
find "^[[:space:]]*$" searching in (text 1 of window 1) options
{search mode:grep, starting at top:false, wrap around:false,
backwards:true, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false} with selecting match
end tell
Will.
