Is AppleScript the best/most powerful way to script text manipulation based on
where the cursor currently is? I know Text Filters can be very useful, but

1. I'm new to BBEdit (v14) and am trying to create an editing
environment based on the file type I'm editing. For instance, when editing
an html document I want to have line numbers and the gutter visible,
amongst other things, but when editing a markdown or text document I want
