Re: Digest for bbedit@googlegroups.com - 1 update in 1 topic

BBedit as a code editor

Sabana, Here's some information about BBedit's features as a code editor. The long list of languages that BBedit supports definitely includes Python. BBedit's documentation is incredibly comprehensive.. From the Help menu choose

Re: Project with several files open and visible?

I recognize that I run a strong risk of AFSBAD ("asking for something BBedit already does"), but I would love to be able to put a different file into a split window: file #1 in one split and file #2 in the other. Tiling windows is fine, but it puts two sidebars on screen, taking up too much

Re: Noob trying to improve on these grep / expressions

> suggest a book on getting better at expressions and BBedit? I think you're asking specifically about regex, but if you're looking for a book about how to get the most out of BBedit overall, I recommend Glenn Fleishman's "Take Control of BBedit." It's several revs behind (it assumes BBedit v.

Re: Navigating folders and files in a project sidebar from the keyboard?

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but CMD + OPT + Left or Right Arrow Key moves around the Currently Open Documents pane in the Projects list. No need to shift focus to it first. Note that if you use that keyboard shortcut, the list of projects in the top pane does not update

Re: BBEdit for Writers

Markdown is a reduced instruction set language, as its very name indicates. It's therefore a poor choice for documents that need the structures and control over display that it does not provide. Having to use it to address needs it does not support would make me angry, too. But that's not a
