Tips for using BBEdit for Python?

Greetings, I've used BBEdit for several years for HTML, CSS, editing UNIXy files, a lot of plain text and Markdown, and the occasional PHP hack. I'm now starting an online course that uses Python to teach CS. I downloaded Pythonista for my iPad on account of it's stellar rep (read its reviews i

Re: Tips for using BBEdit for Python?

(bump) So no Python-writing BBEditors? Every pro I know is using something else (mostly SublimeText 2) and I'm trying to stay with BB for all the reasons we all like it. I'm hoping someone around here might be able to help me out? On Monday, March 3, 2014 2:16:26 PM UTC-5, Brian Ch

Re: Tips for using BBEdit for Python?

Steve, Thanks for sharing! I looked up PyCharm, and found it's PHPStorm for Python. (a day after reading this did I get the pun in the name) Grail, Tell me more about this "make tags" I've read about exuberant ctags in the past, and I'm still not sure what they're for (probably because I'm not

Re: A great little feature I would like very much in BBEdit...

I have caught myself many times clicking on something rendered in the HTML BBEdit preview window, and expecting it to hope to the line of code that created it. For example if I've spotted a typo. San's comment about Firebug (actually all the browsers' built-in code inspectors do this at this poi

Re: A "notebook" for BBEdit?

I know you said it wasn't a good fit for your project, but I'll just add that I use BBEdit for this function. I keep journals to track all my projects at work, and I write in Markdown. I made a Project named—wait for it—Project Journals, and for each project, there's one running .md file. Each

Clippings, options, auto-complete and keyboarding

When I'm using auto-complete with CSS, I get items like this: display: <#none|inline|block|inline-block|list-item|run-in|compact|marker#>; Is there a way from the keyboard to select one of those options, that isn't "highlight and delete everything that's not the option you want"? I feel like I'

Disabling Search/Find Dialog from showing up on all desktops

I've been having similar problems with the Find box(es) going rogue on to other desktops, since BBEdit 11 came out. I use 5 Spaces on my large monitor, and two on my built-in MBA display. I didn't write for support to report a bug because I didn't know if there was something new that I just didn

html2txt.py as a text filter

Hi folks, For years, I used Aaron Swartz's (RIP) html2.txt.py to convert HTML docs to -- wait for it -- text. When working, it did a wonderful job leaving you with clean Markdown-formatted output, even if supplied with Google Docs' excuse for HTML export as its input.

Re: html2txt.py as a text filter

Kerri, Sam, Wow. This is embarrassing. So… now it just magically _works._ I'm not sure what changed. Last time I tried my old version of the script, and a fresh download from Aaron's account, `html2text/html2text.py ` and both resulted in an error mes

Re: Syntax Colouring: YAML, MD and Jekyll

Here's the trick, and it's an "issue" I've dealt with for years, as the system Statamic (Statamic.com) uses essentially the same syntax: the file extension is HTML or MD, and the text in the file is HTML or MD, but that MD (etc) lives as the "value" in a YAML key: value pair. As such, BBEdit's s

Placeholders - what more can I do with them?

Folks, I've used the <##> placeholder in BBEdit for years. I'm wondering if I am getting everything I can out of it. For example, Every few months, I have to fill in a YAML document with strings of text (HTML and or MD, sometimes mixed). I delete the YAML values of a prior document, and put pl

Global Keyboard Shortcut for BBEdit Scratchpad?

Hello, I use the scratchpad all day long… I compose messages for pretty much anything there first, before pasting them into email, Slack, Basecamp, web forms, whatever. I would love a universal keyboard shortcut that could be triggered from any app or the Finder that would bring me the Scratchp

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

Hello, After searching the user manual (love that thing) and this group, I can't find anything on getting around within the sidebar without taking my hands off the keyboard. What I am picturing is, 1. Key combo to shift focus to the sidebar 2. Keys to move through the hierarchy, in the manner

> defaults write com.barebones.bbedit ProjectsListCanAcquireKeyboardFocus -bool YES Patrick, thank you. Now I have to struggle with whether I actually like this or not. Because the Project sidebar is instant-activation, by which I mean, it opens the file as soon as it's highlighted. So if I wan

Use of `Edit Markup…` Popover in files without `html` extensions?

This is borderline a feature request… but I'm first curious if other people are seeing this and not just me. Or maybe I'm the only person using BBEdit that does this? I'm often working in Markdown files that are the backend of web systems. The most well known example of this set up would be con
