bash keywords

[patpro]

Hi all,

I'm still thinking about my previous request about bash completion in
BBEdit. I've taken a look at the "Language Modules", wondering where I
could add missing Mac OS X shell commands into the listing of "Unix
Shell Script" list of known commands.

If I understand correctly, this list of known commands sits in "/
Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Unix Shell Keywords.txt",
not in "/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Language Modules".

Am I right?

I would like to add (many) commands to this list. Is it safe to edit
the file "/Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Unix Shell
Keywords.txt"?
Is there another way to add command names to the "Unix Shell Script"
pool, without modifying the file "Unix Shell Keywords.txt"?

regards,
patpro

yes I am.

it *appears* to be safe. At least, I can say it works. But if I don't
pay attention, I'll lose that work on my next update. So I'm really
interested in a method to customize "Unix Shell Keywords.txt" without
editing the file in the BBEdit bundle. An file in ~/Library/
Application Support/BBEdit that would take precedence would be great.

Please do not attempt to edit or modify anything within the application
bundle; we do not & cannot support modified apps.

You could create & install a customized codeless language module (CLM),
which would override the built-in shell language support.

(Please see Appendix D and Chapter 15 of the PDF manual (Help -> User
Manual) for details, and there's also some info in prior posts here.)

So, like, man... Could I create a CLM for Cold Fusion so we could
have, like, syntax coloring when coding in CF? Man, that would be so
cool!

I'm sure you don't... But do you plan to update the keyword list ?
Mine is 1470 lines long, and yours is 767 lines long.
