Re: Multiple “Replace All” with a single keystroke?

[Charlie Meyerson]

Thanks, Rich! This did the trick. I even now have a single keystroke
shortcut to invoke it, thanks to the Menus & Shortcuts setting (which,
again, duh, I never looked for).

Now, go enjoy your Saturday night!

A Text Factory would be an appropriate solution here. You can place the 
finished factory in your Text Filters folder (available via the Folders submenu 
on the BBEdit application menu), at which point it's available under the "Apply 
Text Filter" submenu of the Text menu, and choosing it will process the active 
document.

Multiple “Replace All” with a single keystroke?

[Charles Meyerson]

I’m a longtime (decades!) user of and fan of BBedit who, somewhat stupidly, 
has never explored the potential of Text Factories or Text Transformations 
and so must ask an embarrassing question:

I have a series of (6) “*Replace All”* commands I perform daily, in 
sequence in BBedit, and it’s only just now occurred to me that I might 
perform all of these with a single keystroke (or a single click). But the 
interface for doing so perplexes me. 

Is this a Factory thing or a Transform task? I just want to perform these 
commands in the single open-for-editing window, so Factory seems overkill. 
But, unlike Factory, when I open my existing Replace All commands in 
Transform (the “g” menu), they’re all grayed out (can’t be added).

Alternatively, is there a way to invoke an existing Factory without leaving 
the BBedit file on which one is working in the moment?

Grateful for any guidance you can share —

CM
