From the Filler Dept:

Various changes and stuff today, actually my second day back from vacation.

Putzing around today and all that...





From the Changes Dept:

I'm (finally) making some changes around here today. Don't mind the dust....

Change 1...

Change 2...

Change 3...

Change 4...

Change 5(i)...

oh yeah, and BTW, navigatorLinks is at system.verbs.builtin.html.prefs.navigationlinks. As if anybody cared...

(But I'm not sure why you would want to modify those... there are CSS classes (navigatorLink and navigatorLinkCurrent) there for you to modify, if you wish. And yes, I wish)

Change 6...

Do you like the new no-underline links??? Please let me know by either e-mailing me, or commenting on this thread!





From the Humane Dept:

Rascal. Top 10 Things Jef Raskin Claims to Have Invented... [Daring Fireball]

This list is great. I tried out The Humane Enviroment and it felt a lot like vi(m).

'Cept instead of guessing how far where you want to go is in characters (leading to the ever famous "Hmmmm... I guess that's about 20 characters... maybe 10 more... hmm...." situation), in THE you type the characters around it.

Example:

Text: Six incredible frogs jumped over the amazed gymnast

Goal: Move your cursor to the beginning of "jumped"

Vi: (Escape) 20l... (hmm.. and another l to make 21)

THE: (Hold SHIFT down) (Space) (Space) > gs (space)

(with THE, the gs (space) is the pattern to find)

Kind of cool, but not exactly breakthrough. I can do that same sort of thing with the search function in vim.

Of course, shift-space is somewhat easier to type then the escape key, this is true...

And yes, if they made a vi-style keyboard navigation plugin for BBEdit I would love it.
