strip trailing spaces

Hi, I wonder if besides the default preference, the "strip/leave trailing spaces" can be changed for individual files when saving. If so, how? Thanks, Nestor -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group. If you have a feature request or need technical support, please email

Re: Diving Deep (saving)

Hi Chris, If you are using a script in terminal and you have a folder's window open, you could drag the name of the folder to the "terminal" to complete it. I don't know if you can do that when AppleScript asks for the folder's name. Sorry to insist, but with Default Folder you could use any

Re: How to keep Python active after running a script in BBedit?

I am also interested in a good solution. Currently my setting is as follows: - Edit the script in BBEdit. - A menu script in BB tells Idle to open the python file. - Run the script in Idle. - Do things in the Idle Shell, and perhaps small changes in the Idle editor, which are immediately

Re: Auto-increase indent

Hi, Languages such as python need indentation after a colon so as to start a new block, which some editors will do automatically: def f(x): if x > 1: while x < 5: etc so I don't think the suggested clipping would be useful in this case. Also, notice that

Re: A little grep help

Notice that \s includes line feeds/carriage returns/form feeds, so perhaps it is not what you want. For just spaces and tabs you may try [^ \t]+ (user manual, p. 187). Nestor === > On 12 Feb 2019, at 10:42, Sam Hathaway wrote: > > This would seem

Re: Multiple replace of highlighted text

Remember that "Cmd-Opt-E" is "Use Selection for Replace", complementing "Cmd-E (use selection for find), so a sequence could be 1. select text, 2. Cmd-E (use selection for find), 3. replace the text with what you want, 4. Cmd-Opt-E (use the new text for replace) 5. Dangerous part: Cmd-Opt-=

Unindicted co-conspirators

With the new release of BBEdit, I noticed that I am an "unindicted co-conspirator". I don't know for how long I have held that position, but my sincere thanks--and laughs--for the distinguished title to the wonderful people who do the real work. It is really nice to belong to this group. All

Re: How to Select Non-Contiguous Text

Hi Bill, In the Finder you can select several objects simultaneously by holding down the command key. This also works in OpenOffice (and surely in MS Word), but that doesn't seem to work in the current version of BBEdit. I guess I don't quite understand the problem, as I didn't see an

Re: Copy Named Symbol

Hi, I am somewhat lost, perhaps because I am using the trial copy of BBEdit, the evaluation period is over, and I don't know how to use text completion with BBEdit (the manual is rather obscure to me). What I have used with TextWrangler for many years and now with BBEdit is the
