Hey Emmanuel,
If you really want to know you need to contact support rather than the
user-list.
A couple of work-arounds are:
An Applescript run from something other than BBEdit's own script menu. (For
some reason it fails when run from BBEdit's script menu - reported today.)
I've tested from FastScripts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try
tell application "System Events"
set quit delay to 0
tell application process "BBEdit"
set frontmost to true
click menu "BBEdit" of menu bar item "BBEdit" of menu bar 1
click menu item "Services" of menu "BBEdit" of menu bar item "BBEdit" of
menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
on error e number n
set e to e & return & return & "Num: " & n
tell me to set dDlg to display dialog e with title "ERROR!" buttons
{"Cancel", "Copy", "OK"} default button "OK"
if button returned of dDlg = "Copy" then set the clipboard to e
end try
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard Maestro has the ability to open a menu item similar to the script.
Show Menu in BBEdit
Show: BBEdit ⇢ Services
Stop macro if menu cannot be selected.
Either of these methods will open the Services menu, and from there you can
type-select to navigate.
Personally I dislike the contextual menu (in general), because I have to move
my hands from the keyboard to the mouse. I prefer developers to make sure no
functionality is only available from it, because I'll nearly always assign
keyboard shortcuts to frequently used functions.
Actually this thread has got me interested in making a system-wide Keyboard
Maestro macro for the Services menu. Sometimes I forget the keyboard shortcuts
I have assigned to Services, and sometimes I want to access things with no
keyboard shortcut.
