Hey There,
Afraid not, but such things are easily scripted:
------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text window
if its source language is "Markdown" then
set theLine to line (get startLine of selection)
if (theLine as text) starts with "-" then
set after theLine to return & "-"
select insertion point after selection
end if
end if
end tell
end tell
------------------------------------------------------------
This is about as simple as it can get, but all manner of sophistication is
possible.
Save as an appropriately named AppleScript using the Script Editor.app.
Place in BBEdit's Script Menu: ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/
Give it an appropriate keyboard shortcut in BBEdit's Menus & Shortcuts prefs.
Such a script can do many things based on the context.
Search BBEdit-Talk for “markdown script”.
Also try searching Google for: “BBEdit AppleScript markdown”
