Re: Script to open document in additional window?
The menu script idea works great. For anyone who's interested, here's
my script, which is saved as 'View*Open in Additional Window' in the
Menu Scripts folder:
property windowRect : {0, 0, 0, 0}
property windowGap : 5
on MenuSelect(menuName, itemName)
tell application BBEdit
set windowRect to bounds of text window 1
end tell
return false
end MenuSelect
on PostMenuSelect(menuName, itemName)
tell application Finder
set deskRect to bounds of window of desktop
end tell
set windowWidth to ((item 3 of windowRect) - (item 1 of windowRect))
+ windowGap
if ((item 3 of windowRect) + windowWidth) ≤ item 3 of deskRect then
set item 1 of windowRect to (item 1 of windowRect) + windowWidth
set item 3 of windowRect to (item 3 of windowRect) + windowWidth
else
set item 1 of windowRect to (item 1 of windowRect) - windowWidth
set item 3 of windowRect to (item 3 of windowRect) - windowWidth

Re: Completion
I don't know BBEdit well at all, but is there some way of mapping some other character to generate 'tab' or indents (perhaps via the Unix filters?), then have tab as the 'completion' character. The reason I'm thinking of this is, tab is the completion character in a number of the Unix shells. Maybe its just not practical within an editor. Also, is it possible to have the completion option only display, say, a line under a word where a completion is on offer, rather than the list of completions, and ideally let the user know if there is a unique completion by, say, changing the colour of the line: in this way users can be informed of completions without having a list pop up and they'd be clued in to when issuing (say) tab would yield a unique completion. (Unix users would see that this is essentially a smart version of the try-and-fail approach that tabbing on a word with ambigious completions takes in the shells.) The point of above idea is to try offer something in between a full list, so that some completion is on offer, but more restrained for users that find the list interferes with their use of the editor. It has the obvious weakness of not showing the outcome until its done, but so does the Unix shell completion. Just loose thoughts while I remember. I'm out of time to check the options out (yes, I know its the done thing to check first, but better I say what I'm thinking while I remember than not say it at all?) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BBEdit Talk group.

Re: Consistency between older versions and version 9
I don't ask that the program to an instant file comparison with an existing old file, since that seems unreasonable, but the old behaviour seemed proper handling of a very special case which would be a matter of a moment to check, an empty, unsaved file is in a special, and pretty much worthless state. The old versions of the program knew this, but the new version has forgotten. It would seem to be in no one's interest to have the editor nag one about an empty file with no corresponding disk instantiation if one wants to close it. The old versions all kept track of this, and did ask, quite properly, if one wanted to save a newly emptied version of a previously saved file, but not if the file hadn't been saved to begin with. This is less a matter of consistency than sensibility and ease of use.

Re: Auto-completion: actionscript 3.0 and other issues
Thanks for this fantastic plugin. I downloaded the latest BBEdit (9.0.1 1325) and code completion works great - however, I can't get the function dropdown or code-folding to work. The dropdown is there, so I'm guessing that BBEdit is still buggy or maybe Prefix for Functions needs a value? I tried variations of function to no avail. Anyone have any insight?

File Comparison
I noticed that, like many comparison routines, it tends to get lost and has trouble getting back in synch until the old file is editied to conform moree closely to the new one, but more serious is that if one chances to edit the file and then compare the documents again, it opens new windows for each file, leaving the older versions open as well. This behaviour seems fraught, as it's unclear which version of the file is current. Although one can close the files and then start again as a workaround, it might be more sensible not to behave in this manner to begin with. Just a thought.

Short answer: it isn't practical in an editor (at least for now.) Longer answer: There is no way to remap insert tab or equivalent amount of spaces in the editor to a key besides Tab. I did have a prototype in the lab which allowed you to enable the Tab key as a completion trigger. But since that overloads Tab[1] it results in exactly the behavior you don't want — the completion list making an appearance where what you really intended to do was insert a Tab (or equiv spaces if auto-expand tabs is turned on.) This doesn't rule out Tab as a possible (alternate) completion trigger in the future. (Nor does it guarantee it :-)). We may revisit the issue in the future, but there are certain usability obstacles to overcome before we can ship such a feature. Otherwise it will be frustrating for you. And us. [1] Moreso than in the command line since you typically never use Tab for something else at the command line, but frequently use Tab in an editor to do other things. Also, is it possible to have the completion option only display, say, a line under a word where a completion is on offer, rather than the list of completions BBEdit does not currently offer this feature.

Re: Using Rhino for Unix Filters
On Sep 11, 2008, at 12:09 PM, Alan Storm wrote: I'm trying to use the Rhino Interactive Java Shell with BBEdit's Unix Filters options, and can't figure out how to read from standard input. I'm not sure if this is a problem with BBEdit (unlikely) or a problem with my understanding of input streams and arguments in Unix Shell Scripts (very likely), or a problem with the Rhino shell itself (BBEdit Version 9, Mac OS 10.5) I have a the following shell script which will read from standard input, build up a string, and then echo the results back out. At the risk of sounding like a broken record (because I know I've explained this before, perhaps even on this list :-)), #! filters are not passed data via STDIN. The reasons are largely historical (this feature predates Mac OS X), and we can only change it now if we do so in a way which doesn't break every #! filter ever written for BBEdit. So how is the data passed? In a temp file in the first argument passed to the script. (This may have been incorrect or omitted from the documentation in previous releases, but it is documented correctly in the BBEdit 9 manual.) If you are using something like the magic operator in Perl, or the fileinput module in Python, this detail is abstracted away for you. If the language you are using doesn't have such a convenience mechanism, or you are rolling things by hand, read from the temp file passed in the arguments, not STDIN.
