Dear Christopher,

Thank you!  I followed your instructions and it works like a charm!

Yours,

Mark

If you add the text factory as a Text Filter then you can assign it a keyboard shortcut. Put it in ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/ and then you can run it from the Text > Text Filters menu or assign a keyboard shortcut in Settings... on the Menus & Shortcuts tab.

Dear Kaveh,

YES! Thank you! I tried the same procedure in Text Factory and it worked PERFECTLY! Quick question: Is it possible to set up a shortcut keystroke in BBEdit that (when pressed) will run my newly created TextFactory?

Yours,

Mark

Hi Mark

I think Text Factory is indeed what you need. it is not based on keystrokes, but BBEdit actions that are carried out one after another. Here is a glimpse of one I made to convert VCF to CSV. I am using just regular expressions, but you can use any BBEdit command.

Dear Rich,

Thanks! I have not yet explored “Text Factory” but will give it a whirl. Since we are talking about an internal BBEdit set of keystrokes, it might be better to stay “in house.”

Yours,

Mark

I am attempting to set up create a macro that would automate the process of cleaning up a block of text as I import it into BBEdit. I have successfully created a macro that selects the Text Menu in BBEdit to (1) Straighten Quotes, (2) Strip Trailing Whitespace, and (3) Normalize Line Endings.
These steps are easy.

I don't know anything about Keyboard Maestro, but have you considered using a Text Factory for this?

Start with File => New => Text Factory and go from there.
