BBEdit shortcut

OK, I am using BBEdit 6.1.4 at work (on OS 9.1… don’t get me started…) I just figured out (thanks to Tim) how to set my keyboard interface to do the work.

What I wanted it to do

I wanted to set a key stroke: Shift-Command (Apple)-B to insert <(/?)strong> around the highlighted section of the code.

How I did it

  1. Make a glossary called “strong” (or whatever) which contain the line
    <strong>#select##insertion#</strong> in Applications/BBEdit Folder/BBEDIT Support/Glossary.
  2. Go to WIndow -> Glossary. Find “Strong” in there and hit [Set Key…] and choose your key.

Command-F12 is the spell check that I use often… I don’t spell check my blog posting often enough though… :)
