Greetings: I'm trying to recover a not-that-old BBEdit behavior: I want to be able to the shortcut key "Un/Comment Selection" in an empty selection and start typing a new comment. I remember that adjusting the Expert Preferences was the way to go, but I can't seem to get the same results.
If I use: % defaults write com.barebones.bbedit CommentWholeLineWithInsertionPoint -bool NO ... when I comment an empty selection, and empty comment is added at the insertion point, but the whole comment block is selected, so I have to deselect it and 'navigate' into it to start typing my comment. If I use: % defaults write com.barebones.bbedit CommentWholeLineWithInsertionPoint -bool YES ... I can hit the "Un/Comment Selection" shortcut with an empty selection and start typing my comment right away, beautiful (the comment block does not get selected), BUT if there's other text in that line (ie if I]m trying to add a comment AFTE some code), the whole line gets commented, of course, as you would expect by the preference name. PreferLineCommentsWhenCommenting seems to have no bearing in either behavior. So, the question: how can I get a *non-selected* empty comment, with the insertion point inside of it, when I hit "Un/Comment Selection" with an empty selection, regardless of whether there is other content in the same line or not? I was so used to being able to do that that it is frustrating not to be able to do it anymore. I'm sure this change was brought up by *very* recent updates.
