One Writing Tool Per Writing Task | cogmodo

I'm using a different writing app for each task, preferring a single purpose approach for clarity and focus. My workflow includes Drafts for capturing ideas, BBEdit for finalizing and publishing, iA Writer for daily journal entries, Obsidian for knowledge management, and Ulysses for long form writing projects.

@robpike This is one reason I prefer @bbedit on #macOS. It handles massive files with aplomb.

Ashamed to say, this experiment has not gone very well so far. While #BBEdit seems very nice for working with Svelte, I'm running into issues with React (for my volunteer gig) and Astro (for my personal website).

I'm much happier with it for writing Swift however, and would happily make the switch if I could just find a JSX language module.

My challenge to myself this week is to do all my development work in #BBEdit.

Anyway, tonight I got the various LSPs I use all configured. I've started tinkering with keybindings to be closer to my VSCode/Zed preferences but I guess I can't use "option" as the sole modifier key for any key combos???

@eemeli well. My trusted #BBedit can use and produce them. Of course, so far, it is only because it is more than 30 y old or because I programmed it wrong (not sure which is note common).

But claiming it does not exist is as much utterly modern as claiming that people never had problems with character sets using emails...

Maybe... It depends on your world of all possibilities?

Or like a #BBEdit for iPadOS/iOS.

#xcode #Apple Did you know that ⌃(control)A jumps you to the beginning of a line and ⌃E puts you at the end of the line. ⌃K deletes the line forward and ⌃Y pastes it back.

AND all of these work in #xcode, #pages, #bbedit, #textedit, #ivory, #AppleMail, and probably elsewhere.

Il y a un truc que j'adore avec l'application #BBEdit, c'est que, lorsqu'on veut encadrer un groupe de caractères/mots par des parenthèses, crochets, guillemets ou autres signes du même genre, il suffit de sélectionner ce qu'on veut encadrer, taper sur le caractère d'ouverture, et par défaut, ça ajoute le caractère de fermeture automatiquement, et ce de part et d'autre de la sélection. Du coup, quand je suis dans une autre application, par réflexe, je fais pareil, sauf que... ben, ça efface ma sélection. Et ça m'énerve d'une force !!! 😂

@rauschma never tried it myself, but #BBEdit should be very fast when it comes to large files.
