Text filters, like regex in BBEdit? Don't. Stop now and back away.

There are good tools for dealing with JSON files (jq is what I use) but there 
are a lot of formats out there that LOOK like JSON and are not actually valid 
JSON, so that may not actually work. It's common for me to get "a JSON file" 
that is not actually a JSON file.

For XML, it depends on what you mean by text-filter. The best XML editor I've 
used is actually Xcode, though I don't think it is that much better than BBEdit 
to be worth the 12GB install of all Xcode.

Hey Ron,

Did you mean Sublime Text 
?

Hey Jan - this feature has been requested before and not gotten any traction at 
all so far as I know.

If you really want it you should make a good case and send it to support.

Hey Duncan,

I sent Tom a Christmas card in 2018 and had a brief email correspondence with 
him.

It's the usual story – he got a job, had a family, and got busy...  :-)

In my opinion the only really viable replacement for Tex-Edit Plus is Jedit Ω 
.

It doesn't have quite as organic a feel as Tex-Edit Plus, but it's similarly 
powerful and relatively simple.

Re: Two files in the same window

[Charlie Garrison]

Good morning,

On 27 May 2021, at 21:59, Jan Erik Moström wrote:


Yes, but I want to view two *different* files.


And regarding the reason for that requirement, you can create a virtual 
camera which records just a portion of your screen (with the two 
windows) and use that virtual camera to feed into the screen share 
(rather than sharing screen directly). I don't really know anything 
about the solutions for that; just that I saw a gaming friend showing us 
his setup to do that for streaming.


I suspect a virtual camera is way overkill for what you need, but just 
throwing an idea from outside the box.


My solution for that... I have multiple displays, so I "clean up" one 
display and put all my BBEdit windows on that display, and share that 
display. The multi-doc single-window wouldn't solve my screen sharing 
anyway since I will often need iTerm in the mix.


Lastly, have you looked at Tuple? I haven't used it but I'm pretty sure 
they have a 'share screen selection' feature. But it's for pair 
programming and not sharing screen to a group.


- https://tuple.app

Anyway, I'm curious about your use-case and how you find to solve it - 
you are not the only one screen sharing BBEdit docs. ;-)


My main problem with screen sharing BBEdit windows is pixel/font size. 
Or maybe it's my large/retina screen being shared to non-retina laptop 
screens - I have to change BBEdit windows to at least 18pt font so text 
is big enough for others. And of course change the size back afterwards.

Not sure if this will satisfy you, but you could open two windows, use 
Window > Tile Window to Left Side of Screen and Window > Tile Window to 
Right Side of Screen, and then share your entire screen (which will, at 
this point, will be completely consumed by your two files).

Re: Two files in the same window

Hi Jan,

If you don't mind having the files in separate windows, you could use the 
Arrange submenu inside the Window menu, with which you may tile or cascade 
windows in different forms.

Best,

Nestor

Two files in the same window

[Jan Erik Moström]

Is it possible to display two files side by side in a window? If so, I 
can't figure out how (except for using "Find differences"), help?


Use case: I've always just opened two windows side by side when I needed 
this, but when I use Zoom I prefer to share a window and not my desktop.
