I'm pasting a lot of column based test from a spreadsheet and it would
be great to have all the tabs align after pasting the data into
BBEdit. I saw an older script called "Entable" but I do not think it
works in the latest BBEdit I recently upgraded to.
Please let me know if there is a way for me to align text that
contains tabs, thanks.
There isn't a way to have columns of different widths. My
workaround is this applescript, which allows me to quickly
adjust the tab width with a keyboard command. Repeating the
command cycles the tab width through successively wider columns
until it hits a maximum (64), then it reverts to default width.
tell application "BBEdit"
set tabW to tab width of text window 1
if tabW > 64 then
set tabW to 4
else
set tabW to tabW + 12
end if
set tab width of text window 1 to tabW
end tell
Save this script (in Script Editor) to the BBEdit folder in your
Application Support folder in your Library. Then assign a
keyboard command via BBEdit's Scripts menu.
HTH.
