debugger and module docs on from remote machine

[Munroe Sollog]

Is it possible to configure Bbedit to run the debugger and display module documentation from the machine that code lives on?  I often develop on a remote machine using the FTP browser which means many of the dependencies and modules don't exist on my local computer.

As BBEdit doesn't have an integrated debugger (as it's not an IDE), I
expect you're talking about an external program. BBEdit is very
flexible and can do many things both with running external programs
and apple scripts, so anything is _possible_. Perhaps if you explained
what you're doing more specifically, including languages and program
names, we might be able to answer more specifically.

I'm primarily using python.  I was just trying to use the "#!" menu (pictured below) to show the module documentation.  It seems to try to show the module documentation from the local machine which doesn't work well when I am developing on a remote machine.

I'm going to suggest you email sup...@barebones.com with a feature request.

In my thoughts on this: I don't know how BBEdit would know how to find the remote documentation, unless embedded in the open python document, in which case it probably would be showing that anyway.

As for running the python program, I never run from BBEdit, I've always found that a terminal window ssh'd into the remote machine (or locally), is both more flexible as well as more reliable (ie I know exactly what is running, where and how).  Honestly, I didn't even know "Run in Debugger" was an option as I've never thought to run it from BBEdit.
