<jaw drops> Wow, this helps SO much! I'm redoing a bunch of scripts for my
daily workflow, and pulling text out of BBEdit is the core of everything.
I've been relying on moving the cursor around and copying using Keyboard
Maestro, but I'm just starting to overhaul these with faster and more
predictable AppleScript actions. I've got one simple one done, and it is
mind-blowingly better. Now I have to work on the harder ones. This will
help a ton.
I might pick your brain when I get to doing some time arithmetic with
varying number of time entry lines!
THANK YOU!
