Yes, that should still be fine.

I'm taking a crack enabling the registry within Edge Code, but thought I'd check something with you first:

The doc says the last few lins in the config node should look like this:

"twitter_name": "@edge_code",

"contributors_url": "https://api.github.com/repos/adobe/brackets/contributors",

"extension_wiki_url": "https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Brackets-Extensions",

But mine looks like this:

"twitter_name": "@AdobeWebCC",

"contributors_url": "https://api.github.com/repos/adobe/brackets/contributors",

linting.enabled_by_default": false

I'm assuming this is just because of recent updates, user settings etc and I'm okay to proceed?

No problem -- glad you're liking Edge Code so far!

Hi Peter

That's exactly what I was looking for, but in the "Surround" extension.

It works fine in Edge Code and is very helpful.

Will check out your suggestions.

Thanks for answering my novice questions: I do a lot of text editing, but am new to HTML coding.

So I know what kinds of shortcuts I want but don't always know where to find them in HTML editors.

Cheers

Tom

Btw, you can search the full list of available extensions here: https://brackets-registry.aboutweb.com/. Or if you want to be able to search & install directly from within the Edge Code UI, you can follow these steps to set it up: Enabling The Brackets Extension Registry in Edge Code.

Can you explain in more detail what you're looking for when you say "hinting menu"? You should be seeing code hints (popup suggestions) for HTML tags & attributes while you're editing the code. Were you looking for something other than that?

To use keyboard shortcuts to insert specific code snippets, check out the popular Snippets extension.

Hope that helps,

Thanks Peter

This is a pretty useful start.

A hinting menu would add to the usefulness.

Are there also extensions that allow user defined shortcuts for specific character strings?

Cheers

Hi Thomas,

Check out the "Surround" extension: https://github.com/pedelman/brackets-surround. To install an extension like this, go to File > Extension Manager, click "Install From URL," and then enter the URL I've posted here.

Feature Request: Select and tag

Hi Folks

Our company often gets lots of existing text to incorporate into our pages.

It would be a big time saver to be able to select content and then apply opening and closing tags around that text via a single keyboard shortcut.

e,g,

1. Select text

2. Execute keyboard shortcut to activate a tag entry field (with the same hinting menu used in regular tag entry).

3. User enters opening tag.

4. Edge Code enters opening and closing tags before and after selected text.

A useful add-on would be the ability to add custom tags to the list that the user uses often.

(e.g. a common tag followed by a user defined attribute, measurement, etc.)

Thanks!
