Yes, I know. But sometimes a user is doing something wrong, so that things 
that don't seem to work aren't bugs, but user error.  User lists are 
helpful places to sort that out.

Can't format html when in background?

2019-02-10 Thread John Muccigrosso 
I just discovered (I think) that BBEdit won't format an html doc via 
AppleScript when it's in the background. That means it's necessary to have 
it "activate" first.

Is that correct or am I missing something?

TIA.

PS I'd consider this a bug.

Me either. It could be just a weird copy-paste thing. Try typing it in by 
hand, or maybe it's the more recent version of BBEdit? For that, use 
command-shift-O to open BBEdit's dictionary in the script editor and make 
sure those properties are still there. Meanwhile, this works for me:

*tell* *application* "BBEdit"

   *set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* current search strings

   

   *set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* search string *of* PREV_SEARCH_STRING

   

   *set* theChoice *to* *display dialog* "Search current document for:" 
default answer PREV_SEARCH_STRING

   

   *if* button returned *of* theChoice *is* "OK" *then*

   *set* searchOpt *to* {starting at top:*true*}

   *tell* *window* 1

   *set* findRes *to* *find* text returned *of* 
theChoice options searchOpt *with* selecting match

   *if* findRes's found *is* *false* *then* *beep*

   *set* search string *of* current search strings *to* 
findRes

   *end* *tell*

   *end* *if*

*end* *tell*


For some reason BBEdit doesn't remember the search string if you change it 
in the dialog.

I'm working with a slightly earlier version of BBEdit, but AppleScript 
editor's dictionary for BBEdit shows a "current search strings" property, 
so try this at the start of the script:

*set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* current search strings

   *set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* search string *of* PREV_SEARCH_STRING


 I can't seem to directly: 

set PREV_SEARCH_STRING to search string of PREV_SEARCH_STRING

I'd strongly suggest pandoc for this, which is probably on your list 
already. If you have some latex knowledge already, you can play with the 
template to get output you like.

Show files git ignores

2017-06-11 Thread John Muccigrosso 
I see that this option is in the bottom toolbar(?) of a folder window, but 
is there a place to set its default inside the prefs? This seems to be the 
`DiskBrower: showGitIgnoredItems` preference.

TIA.

And in the standard Mac OS for many years. 

For me, control-dragging in Word (2011?) gives me a menu asking what I want 
to do, which is  more control-like behavior.

(Originally there was no control-key on the Mac keyboard, and now control 
normally is confined to contextual-menu stuff, at least for native apps.)

I've got it too! I haven't noticed any problems due to it, but I did make 
the changes to my bash profile file. I too have multiple keyboards enabled.

Re: Using a Text Factory to remove white space

2017-02-08 Thread John Muccigrosso 
If you really want all white space (tabs, newlines, etc) then use "\s+" as 
the search pattern.

This is such a fast search and replace, I'd probably use the usual dialog 
or write a quick perl or shell script for it.

Trailing space (and git?)

2016-12-31 Thread John Muccigrosso 
I've got a text file (.txt) that BBEdit keeps trimming trailing spaces in, 
even though that preference is not selected (nor is there a special 
language pref for it). This doesn't happen with other files. This 
particular file is in my git repository, so could that be it? Is there a 
(hidden) pref somewhere?
