- ‘Make Tag’ BBEdit AppleScript ★
-
Marc Liyanage:
I wrote this AppleScript for BBEdit. It takes the word immediately preceding the cursor and makes an opening/closing tag pair with it, e.g. you type “div” and hit the keyboard shortcut assigned to the script, and it will insert
<div<##>><##></div>The “Go To Previous/Next Placeholder” menu commands, which you should also assign to keyboard shortcuts, take you to the two
<##>placeholders for attributes and contents.I was just thinking about writing something like this after reading about a similar feature in TextMate.

Jason Snell:
But the Mighty Mouse marks the end of 21 years of Apple’s one-button mouse policy. In that way, it’s a little bit like the Berlin Wall coming down. Except, y’know, with mice.

Buzz Anderson:
[…] I at least understand the cardinal, unwritten rule of metal window design: for God’s sake, minimize the amount of visible metal!

He likes it. They’re hard to get ahold of today: Beattie bought the second-to-last of only ten that his local Apple Store had in stock; I called the King of Prussia store to see if they had any, and was told they didn’t expect any until the end of the week.

Instead of a scroll ball (or wheel), he’d prefer being able to drag the page around when squeezing the side buttons.
- Mighty Mouse ★

At least everyone can finally shut up about Apple releasing a multi-button mouse. Two buttons, force-sensitive squeeze-the-side buttons, and a 360° scroll ball in lieu of a scroll wheel. It sounds as though the “buttons” aren’t physical buttons, but are trackpad-like touch-sensitive surfaces:
Mighty Mouse even sounds as good as it feels. The audio feedback built into Mighty Mouse provides an aural sensation that responds to your movements. A tiny speaker inside Mighty Mouse produces button-clicking and Scroll Ball-rolling sound effects.
So I’m guessing the scrolling sound is rather similar to the scrolling sound generated by iPods. Also interesting: it’s only available as a USB device — no Bluetooth.
