Re: QuickLook in Finder for files associated with BBEdit

The only thing that has worked for me is to avoid idiosyncratic dot-style (.) extensions in favor of dash-style ones (-). For example, in your case, use foobar-semkey instead of foobar.semkey. IMHO this dependence on dot extensions to determine file type is one of the most embarrassing things

Re: BBEdit for Writers

Interesting. I would differ only in a few minor points. (1) I prefer to type either “these quotes” or "these quotes" depending on the context, so would leave use typographer's quotes unchecked. (2) I hate Markdown in all its varieties and manifestations, but I have used BBEdit successfully with

Re: Epubs, html, and smart quotes

I notice that lots of people use scripts or built-in functions of editors to get “smart” quotes. I'm just curious as to why this is needed now that Unicode is everywhere. On my “U.S. Extended” keyboard layout, I use option-[ and option-{ for the two double-quote marks. I prefer this because

Re: Mixed line endings problem

It seems to me that a file with mixed line endings should be interpreted such that \r sends the carriage back to first column but doesn't advance to the next line, with \n serving to move down one in the same column: in other words, a file intended for a printer. In that world, only DOS-style
