Hey Ehler,
I doubt we'll see behavior like that from BBEdit any time soon, but please do
make a feature request to the support address (see message footer).
The first thing to try out is a clipping:
function <#function name#>(<#args#>) {
<#code#>
return false;
}
Paste this into BBEdit – you can then tab between the tokenized arguments.
(See Clippings in the BBEdit user manual.)
** I'm not sure if BBEdit has JavaScript clippings by default, but I think it
does. Yeah, it's in the BBEdit 9 Default Clippings set.

Type the following:
function betterOffFred(shirt) {Cmd-O, Cmd-O, Cmd-N, Tab, console.log("I'm too
sexy for my" + shirt)
(Cmd-Letter-O - not zero.)
Make sure the Emulate Emacs key bindings setting is ON in the BBEdit Keyboard
Preferences:
You may find BBEdit's clippings do the trick.
You may want to create fantastic smart-workflows with AppleScript.
You may want to consider a clippings utility that has GUI capabilities like
Typinator <http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/>.
In any case – many exciting things are possible.
