First thank you for that great plugin! Can't work without it.
Now i am looking at feature present in most editors, select the bracket scope content on double mouse click on bracket. This is very useful to select arrays and such.
Now i was wondering if that was possible with you plugin (maybe using command) without breaking the normal behaviour of double click (select word)Finally it would need to select the brackets with it. i mention that because by using select scope content it doesnt actually select the brackets.
Honestly, the current mouse API in Sublime sucks. I don't think this can be done reliably.
I plan on adding a variant of the current command to select brackets as well github.com/facelessuser/Bracket ... issues/132 ...when I get some time and feel like working on it .
I "fixed" the select the whole bracket scope by using this snippet (in .sublime-mousemap file, obviously)
"button": "button1", "count": 1, "modifiers": "button2"],
"command": "expand_selection", "args": {"to": "brackets"},
"press_command": "drag_select"
It doesn't work on double click, but it works by holding click2 then press on click1 buttons.
This doesn't really "fix" it per se. BH selects more than common curly, round, and square brackets. BH has a number of custom brackets as well. Also the algorithm for built in ST bracket matching is different than BH, so this won't always select what you see BH targeting (ST algorithm can be sometimes inconsistent with brackets next to each other, at least it use to be...haven't checked recently).
The option of mouse modifier might be a nice touch though. As soon as I add the alternative bracket selection command (or command parameter), you should be able to use something like iamntz posted above for the BH variant that will target custom brackets as well.
I know, that's why i used quotes
Anyhow, for css(sass), php and js, this works every single time. Since the API sucks, we work with what we have
Man I completely missed those .
Anyways, thanks for sharing. I don't use mouse maps at all, so it is nice to see things like that work...I should play around with the mouse maps a bit more.
I added a flag for the bracket select command to always select the tags with content. So by just taking the current command and adding the always_include_brackets argument, you can select the content and tags:
[pre=#232628] // Select text including brackets { "keys": "ctrl+alt+super+d"], "command": "bh_key", "args": { "lines" : true, "plugin": { "type": "all"], "command": "bh_modules.bracketselect", "args": {"always_include_brackets": true} } } },[/pre]
Pair that with the mouse trick, and that should do it.
no problem, thanks for answering !
I can't seem to get the mouse thing to work at all. The log says it's firing, but nothing happens. Any ideas?
And thanks to the dev for adding that new always_include_brackets option.
Am I correct in assuming that this will not work with nested constructs? E.g.:
I would think that it would be necessary to include an additional captured group in the open pattern, that was searched for in the close pattern. To try and get this to work I've been trying to hook up to the ht/xml tag matching. I tried adding the following (copying //HTML, and modifying the ends of the regex):
// LaTeX \begin{(...)} \end{(...)}
"name": "latex",
"open": "(\\\\begin\\{)(?=\\w\\:\\-]+(?:(?:\\s+\\w\\-:]+(?:\\s*=\\s*(?:\"^\"]*\"|'^']*'|^>\\s]+))?)*)\\s*\\/?>|\\/\\w\\:\\-]+^>]*\\})",
"close": "(?<=\\\\end\\{)(?:\\w\\:\\-]+(?:(?:\\s+\\w\\-:]+(?:\\s*=\\s*(?:\"^\"]*\"|'^']*'|^>\\s]+))?)*)\\s*\\/?|\\/\\w\\:\\-]+^>]*)(\\})",
"style": "tag",
"scope_exclude": "string", "comment"],
"language_filter": "whitelist",
"language_list": "LaTeX"],
"plugin_library": "bh_modules.tags",
"find_in_sub_search": "only",
"enabled": true
and then
"tag_mode": {
"xhtml": "XML", "LaTeX"], ...
But I don't get anything. I haven't been able to find info on how to hook up custom tags.
Probably will need to right a bh_plugin.
We have a proprietary language I have to use at work that is similar in this way:
for illustration
def somefunction var1 var2
if (somecondition)
some more code;
So, I define my opening and closing brackets, and then sort out which opening matches to which closing by using a bh_plugin (do until is an exception):[pre=#232628]def compare(name, first, second, bfr): opening = bfrfirst.begin:first.end].lower() closing = bfrsecond.begin:second.end].lower() match = False if opening == "do": if closing == "until": match = True else: match = "e" + opening == closing return match[/pre]
Another example for handling case differences in PHP keywords:github.com/facelessuser/Bracket ... eywords.py
Match when cursor is on outside edge of bracket:Okay, everyone that has been wanting this, take some time to test the new experimental feature (ST3 only currently)
Add this setting to your "bh_core.sublime-settings".
"bracket_outside_adjacent": true,
There is going to be some more overhead when this is turned on, but hopefully the impact won't be too noticeable. I did this for you guys, so please do test and give feedback. If you are waiting for ST2, it may be a tomorrow or the day after.
Few small things:
1) It seems that this command doesn't work anymore after the update (and boy, this command is damn useful!):
{ "keys": "ctrl+shift+space"], "command": "bh_key", "args": { "lines" : true, "plugin": { "type": "__all__"], "command": "bh_modules.bracketselect" } } }
The issue is present, with without bracket_outside_adjacent set to either true or false2) add a different scope for adjacent, so it can have different color
1) This is now fixed. Funny, it had nothing to do with the new algorithm...just me with a stray mutli-cursor editing something I shouldn't have.
2) How come? Current algorithm doesn't track such things. I would need to pass that info around, and it would require a bit of change to the code. Not sure I really want to spend time on that unless there was a really good reason.
FYI, I know tag outside adjacent just shows angles, I haven't updated the tag bh_plugin with support yet.
Tag support for experimental outside adjacent is in.
Thanks! I had 3 hours of hell without that!
About different highlight: my idea was only in case is an easy thing to do and it aims at certain situations like this:
There are some (probably) rare cases where highlight adjacent it may stay in your way. The idea is to highlight adjacent slightly different AND highlight regular brackets. So in the case i presented in the screenshots, outside brackets should be green, inside brackets should be dark (or light) green (or pink, or whatever i set in the colorscheme). Make sense?
That just means you now appreciate me more .
Let me think about it. I don't actually track whether I am catching an adjacent match currently. I inject some stuff to conditionally alter the algorithm to work in these adjacent cases, but it is rarely aware that the final matched brackets are in fact adjacent.
Right now, I am just happy I got it in. I have been putting it off for over a year because I just didn't want to add more complexity to an already complex system. It really wasn't as bad as I thought (once I finally spent real time analyzing what would need to be done). I know people have been wanting it though, so hopefully it works well, I figure with enough guinea pigs testing this out, we should hopefully find any overlooked problems.
ST2 Experimental outside adjacent matching has been merged in.
Side note, I may add an additional option to have some bh_plugins ignore the "outside adjacent" setting. Things like pressing select and having it expand does not work with adjacent; instead, it just expands and shrinks over and over .
Yay! Awesome thanks a lot, much appreciated. At first insight seems to work great, and looks mixed with inside adjacent which is handy. I'll report back any oddities; I've a feature request, (that I have no idea if is complicated or not.)
When I put the cursor in });|It would be nice to skip the character ";" and highlight the bracket ")" this is handy for JavaScript. It would be also nice, something similar with "},|" skipping the ",". But the comma should not be skipped for example with quotes as "aasdasd",|
Please do. I am kind of relying on the community to find the issues with this...cause I'm lazy .
Its a cool idea, but I will be honest. When I rewrote BH1 to BH2, I did so vowing not to place language specific code in the core code. BH is surprisingly complex (and also something I need to cleanup as it has become pretty complex). The idea was always to allow the definitions to be exposed to the user and expose some kind of plugin system to do bracket manipulation if desired. I did this to take the burden off of me as I was becoming bogged down with language requests and the BH1's code base just couldn't handle it, so I threw away pyparadigm's original code started from scratch and built BH2.
What you suggest can probably be done for javascript in your user folder by excluding the current ")" in javascript and writing a rule like: open = "(()" and close="()(?:;|,)?)" and then run that through a "post_match" event in a bh_plugin adjusting the selection to not include the ";" or "," if present. This is basically what tags does. Tags just does a simple match for "<" and ">" and then runs it through "post_match" event in the "tag" bh_plugin which determines it is a tag and finds the corresponding open or close matching tag. So, theoretically doable.

Karma (Pharoah Sanders album)

Karma is a 1969 jazz recording by the American tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders.
The social and political upheavals of the 1960s have been cited as a major factor in the emergence of a new stylistic trend in jazz, with a very different emphasis to previous subgenres such as swing, be-bop and hard bop. Many of the artists involved in the making of this new music, variously called "energy music", "the new thing", "free jazz", and "spiritual jazz", released records on Bob Thiele's Impulse! Records label. As Ashley Kahn[3] shows, several musicians, often those who had either played with or been influenced by John Coltrane, such as his widow Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, and Leon Thomas, began exploring new thematic and musical ideas, often associated with non-western religious and musical traditions. The new "spiritual jazz" became a vehicle for exploring new musical and non-musical concepts, as well as for extended self-expression, laying bare "a mirror into the self", as Nat Hentoff put it in his liner notes to John Coltrane's 1966 recording Meditations, on which Sanders was also featured.
Coltrane had begun the trend with his incorporation of elements of Indian and African music: as early as 1961, he recorded the song "India" at the Village Vanguard with Ahmed Abdoul-Malik on tampura, and, in 1965, he recorded "Kulu se Mama" with narration in Entobes by Juno Lewis. The influence of African music was seen as a link to the heritage of the many black musicians involved in jazz, and with some, such as Archie Shepp, it became associated with a defiant expression of black identity, in the fight for freedom and equal rights. Characteristics of the music that was produced included an intense rhythmic focus, the use of exotic instrumentation, and extended, often dissonant, improvisation leading to states of ecstasy or transcendence (which, in some cases, such as that of John Coltrane's late music, was linked to the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD). Though the ideological strain was much more obvious in Shepp's music than Sanders', the musical influence was just as pronounced: virtually all of his recordings as a leader from this late 1960s/early 1970s period contain some kind of African percussion, and other non-western features such as Leon Thomas' distinctive yodelling, apparently learnt from African pygmies. In addition, his song titles, like Coltrane's, often have religious significance: for instance, a tune recorded as "Prince of Peace" on Izipho Zam and "Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah-Hum-Allah" on Jewels of Thought (both 1969).
Album information[edit]
Karma is Sanders' third recording as a leader, perhaps the most famous of a number of spiritually-themed albums released on the Impulse record label in the late 1960s/early 1970s, which have ensured his reputation today. Although it is followed by the brief "Colors", the album is most often remembered for one track, the 32-minute-long "The Creator Has a Master Plan", co-composed by Sanders with vocalist Leon Thomas. Some see this piece as a kind of sequel to Sanders' mentor John Coltrane's legendary 1964 recording "A Love Supreme" (whose opening it echoes in a muscular yet lyrical opening "prelude", with Sanders playing over a suspended, non-rhythmic backdrop, before the entrance of a bass figure which underpins much of the piece). It features Sanders on tenor sax, along with two of his most important collaborators, the aforementioned Leon Thomas and pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, as well as a supporting cast of musicians who were major musicians in their own right: flautist James Spaulding; French-horn player Julius Watkins; bassist Reggie Workman, who had played with Coltrane earlier in the 1960s; second bassist Richard Davis, who had appeared on Eric Dolphy's landmark Out to Lunch!; drummer Billy Hart, and percussionist Nathaniel Bettis. While later recorded versions of the tune, some of which featured Sanders and Thomas, became shorter and more lyrical, this original contains extended free instrumental sections, particularly the third section, where the saxophonist demonstrates some of the techniques which build his distinctive sound, including a split-reed technique, overblowing, and multiphonics, which give a screeching sound.
On the whole, however, this was quite laid-back and accessible for a free-jazz record (compared to, say, Coltrane's Ascension), with its mantra-like chant/melody, accessible, loping groove (which has since been sampled and covered by other artists—Sanders himself re-uses it on "Heart Is a Melody of Time (Hikoro's Song)" from his album Heart is a Melody) and optimistic, spiritually-themed lyrics. The unusual textures also give an impression of the exotic, with the employment of a French horn and flute, adding an almost orchestral tinge not often found in jazz, as well as Leon Thomas' characteristic yodelling and a variety of percussion instruments. Despite its length, it actually achieved mainstream FM radio airplay, surely the closest the avant-garde movement came to a "hit", apart from the cult classic "A Love Supreme", and its popularity with acid jazz and hip-hop artists (see below) attests to its continuing popular status. The influence of the "spiritual jazz" movement, and Sanders' involvement in particular, can be seen in Sarah Webster Fabio's 1976 lyrics to "Jujus: Alchemy of the Blues":
You prophesied the return of mandolins
and tambourines and tinkling bells,
and triangles and cymbals,
and they sided in on beams from Pharoah Sanders as I slept
taking me unaware, tripping,
blowing my mind.
—Sarah Webster Fabio, 1976

The village of Camillus, incorporated in 1852, will remain after the village-wide referendum today.
The referendum was denied by voters, with 229 votes against and 158 for: a margin of 61.
Patricia Butler, a current village trustee and opponent to the dissolution, won mayor with 198 for. Karen Kiggins netted 153 votes, a margin of just 45.
The village board will now have Anthony Komuda, Tim Stapleton and Ann Eckert. Komuda had 136 votes for the fill-in position, Stapleton had 202 votes and Eckert had the most, at 212. Bill Cody, an incumbent, will not return to the board. He had 73 votes.
A consolidation study facilitated by former mayor Michael Montero reported that village residents could save $77.62 annually on taxes for a $100,000 home if the village were to merge with the town. The amount seemed substantial enough for Montero to encourage the village board and residents to consider consolidating into the town of Camillus.
In July, 108 of the village's 1,200 residents signed a petition requesting the decision be left to those who the decision would affect — the village's residents. The village board voted unanimously to leave the fate to Election Day's referendum.
If the village were to dissolve, the village board would no longer exist and the town's 1st ward councilor would represent the village's 1,200 residents. The town would also likely adopt the village's three highway workers, but the village clerk, deputy clerk and code enforcement officer would lose their jobs.
The village of Camillus would have been the first to dissolve in Onondaga County in 85 years.

Matt Olesnevich, football coach and athletic director at St. Francis since 2010, will be leaving at the end of the school year to coach at St. Augustine St. Joseph.
Matt Olesnevich, head football coach and athletic director at St. Francis since 2010, will be leaving at the end of the school year to become football coach at St. Augustine St. Joseph.
Olesnevich, 14-17 in his three seasons as the Wolves' coach, said he knew since Friday that he would be making this move but didn't want to overshadow the boys basketball district tournament, which was being played at the school.
"I will be leaving at the conclusion of the school year," said Olesnevich, who replaces former Gator special teams ace Brandon James, fired after going 2-8 in his only season as coach. "I will be doing both schools' spring football. That could change if Mr. (Ernest) Herrington (school principal at St. Francis) gets a new football coach."
The Flashes, under James, finished the season with less than 20 players.
Olesnevich's most successful season at St. Francis came in his first year, when the Wolves finished third in District 2-1B with a 6-5 overall record (4-2 district) and played in a bowl game. The team, which opened that season 1-4, won five straight games to close the regular season.
"This move is good for me professionally and personally," Olesnevich said, who will also serve as director of student services at St. Joseph. "The community here is great, it was just a move I needed to make."
His Wolves teams went 5-5 in 2011 and 3-7 this past season. St. Joseph has a new athletic director in Patrick Keane and principal in Tom McGlinn, and the school, like Oak Hall and St. Francis, decided to go independent in football for the next two years.
"This year was a little tough, you always want to win it all," Olesnevich said. "The guys did the best they could. If you look at our district, the district champs (Jacksonville University Christian) won the state title. I'm proud of the boys. They worked very hard."

Have you had any snow yet?
I live in an area that gets snow on the ground maybe every 30-40 years. However, there is a nearby mountain that is visible from my house that regularly gets patchy snow every winter. I chose "No snow yet", because so far this year the mountain has been bare.
I would like some....... just a wee bit and no ice.
We had a white Christmas (about 3-4 inches)! And that is all I need 'till next Christmas.
We have snow cover. Don't really need more. I'd rather see it rain like it did last winter. That would do more for soil moisture.
Not much and not earlier than in prior years. I love the look of it but I don't like the ice.
We've been teased with some rain/snow mixes, but no white on the ground. We usually get 1-2 snows a year, usually in Jan-Mar, so still time this year.
no snow here.....80's are predicted the rest of the week.......
We have gotten some snow but need alot more. Rain is on the way so that will help moisture wise. Road wise...not so much. Gravel roads are slushy now and will become pure mud later this week.
Two very light dustings early in the winter, but mild since. Exceptionally mild so far in Jan 2013, 9 to 11� every day, but returning to average (5 to 7�) later this week.
I voted that I have had all I want this year, but that isn't right. We do need more snow cover later, but I desire no blizzards or sleet.
We had just enough flurries to say "Look, flurries". and than they were gone.
We've had snow on the ground since before Christmas. And a few 3 -4 inches snowfalls after that. Still have about 5 inches left on the grassy areas. The temps are supposed to rise into the 50's by the weekend into beginning of next week. It's the "January Thaw" I suppose, but February & March usually bring more snow. March is usually a doozy! Two years ago we had about a foot of snow around St. Patty's Day! If I ever win LOTTO I will definately become a snowbird! :>)
No snow yet. We usually get at least some in the air, even if they immediately melt when they hit the ground.
This year, we haven't even got below freezing yet. Very odd.
Haven't seen snow here since back in the 1980's. Right now it's 68F. We're supposed to be in the mid to upper 70's for the rest of the week. Love it!
Snowed a little Christmas Eve, was very happy it was going to be a white Christmas, woke up Christmas morning it was all gone :(
We haven't had snow and really aren't expecting it. It would be inaccurate to say that we never have snow (as in "Snow? What's that?"). We typically have a light dusting of snow once every 10yrs - which is pretty close to no snow at all. Since we had our 'dusting' a couple years ago, snow would not be expected this year.
I would like snow, too, especially if we could get enough to make snow cream and if the snow would stick around for a day or two (which is all but unheard of here where a whole inch of snow is enormous and where snow, when it does show up, often does so at night and is gone shortly after daybreak).
Here that is called "Frost" LOL!
warm here mostly. Have been running A/C or opening windows. Have had a couple of lite frost and some upper twenty temps at night. Black-eyed Susan Vine, Milkweed, Red Ruellia, Brugs, Gingers, Bottle Brush Tree still blooming. Not many plant have died back just bloomed out for the season. First time ever I have been able to harvest seed from my White Phillipine Violet. Has always frozen back before seeds ready
Forgot to say I moved 4 Gulf Fritillary Caterpillers to another larger passi vine today. They were down to 1 leaf left on that plant

No snow here so far this winter. It's supposed to get to 70F this Sunday, so I don't expect snow any time soon.
ROTFLMHO, CountryGardens!
Not quite that light a dusting! But that did get a good laugh out of me. It actually is snow, sometimes an inch or so but more often it looks like a powdered sugar decoration on a cake, so thin a layer that you can still see the outline of twigs and leaves in places. Once, several decades ago we actually scored some 5in, a foot in the drifts, and it 'stuck' for a whole 3 days. That was so unprecedented that we labeled it our 'Blizzard'. We rolled up the city, closed all the businesses, and stayed home until it melted. Folks from areas with 'real' snow would no doubt have died laughing at us.
Had a solid 4" on Christmas day it fell on frozen rain so it was pretty interesting here for a day or so
DreamofSpring - we'd still call that a dusting here :)
CountryGardens - How much did you get "that one day" before Christmas? We got 18" that day 'in the cities' - well, in my yard anyway.
We've had a total of 23" or so - more coming this weekend. Supposed to rain & turn to snow - possible significant snowfall. I havent heard totals, but it would require the snow blower/plow.
2" or so. Ground is nearly bare in the fields. Some drifts around.
DreamOfSpring ... so, years ago you folks had a "5 inch Blizzard". Up here in the Pocono Mountains of northeast PA we often have to shovel "3 feet of partly cloudy". lol
we have usually had at least a few inches by now, or at least some ice....its been freakishly warm the whole winter season, as was last winter too. Its been throwing things off around here---trees starting to try to re bud too early, and bugs bugs bugs.
We've had a total of about 8" so far this season. More than I want to see.
ROTF, PAgirl60,
That was a once in 4 decades event for us. When we see a few snowflakes dancing in the wind, we get all dizzy with anticipation and call everyone else, so they can see. We really only see that a time or two in a decade, and then it may melt before it reaches the ground. Even a paltry dusting is a noteworthy event around here.
Still chuckling at your "3ft of partly cloudy" up there. I've never even seen more than a few inches of the white stuff; wouldn't know what to do with 3ft. Don't worry though, we get ours in summer - when we have to mop up the 3ft of sweat from our brows.
love the 3ft of partly cloudy! I really did LOL!
WE had snow and then the passed few days a warm up. At 5pm tonight we had NO snow on the ground. Fell asleep around 10, woke up about 1am and there is some snow on the ground once again.
Why can't it make up its mind??????
Yesterday we finally had a dusting of snow on the mountain in the morning, though it had disappeared by late afternoon.
We are getting just a little popcorn snow everyday ,but it is just flat cold here 21� which is plenty cold for SE Oklahoma ..I talked to a friend that lives in Northern California yesterday and he said it was -12� there He lives at 3k ft. elevation... Better he than me
We have had flurries once, and SNOW once, 6"-8". It stayed on the ground over a week. I'm ready for some more. We've just gotta have it one more time so I can make SnowCreme!!! My 92-year-old Mom --must-- have her snowcreme!! LOL
FlowrLady, what is SnowCreme? I've never heard of it.
PAgirl60: I suspect it resembles Bosco Freeze. You'd put lids full of Bosco Chocolate Syrup on the windowsill and wait for them to get snowed on and freeze over. Also, in the days of glass bottles and milkmen, you might find a neck of frozen milk that you could cut off and sugar and Bosco.
Recipe for snowcreme
evap milk
mix well and eat
some people will tell you to use condensed milk instead of evap milk and sugar. It's a southern thing, I guess, and we love it :)
FlowrLady, it sounds delicious, but where I live now, I can't make it.

Santa's Spinners - 12 / Box
Santa's Spinners whirl like a dervish, which is fun all by itself, but when they open, the hidden surprise inside reveals itself! When kids (or adults, of course) push the button on the detachable toy, the red Santa Spinner reveals a white snowman, while the green one reveals a red Santa. But that's not all (don't forget we are a candy company): each refillable toy-plus-candy novelty features a tube packed with red, white, and green bubble-gum balls. It's a holiday toy with holiday treats all wrapped into one fun holiday package!
Santa's Spinners come packed in a 12-count box so you should have enough for all the little ones on your list. Each unit measures approximately 7" high and includes .34 oz. of bubble gum. Don't forget that the toy can be used long after the bubble gum is gone!

There are many drawbacks to getting older, but busting around the streets of your local patch-on a fire engine, red motor scooter isn't one of them. And if anyone can attest this... it's Daphne.
Daphne's mobility scooter has provided her with a new lease on life, allowing her to continue working at various charity organisations in town and quick access to the people she feels 'need a speaking to'. And not to forget her annual motor down the main street during Mount Gambier's Christmas Parade.
Good on you Daphne and have a Happy Christmas.
Beep, Beep!

Pray for the Dead - A Musical Tale of Morgues, Moguls and Mutiny, a new play for and about workers and unions, is now available as a radio show. The musical comedy, with 12 songs, was shown to enthusiastic audiences of unions and working class audiences in the Washington DC area this past summer. One audience member described it as "Sweeney Todd meets Norma Rae meets Bertolt Brecht." The story focuses on a group of morgue workers in an unknown country facing calamity in their fight for a new contract and unexpectedly leading an uprising against government and corporate corruption. The play was written by Gene Bruskin a 40 year veteran of the U.S. labor movement.
This 30 minute radio version of the play, with the music, aired on WPFW in Washington, DC and in San Francisco on Bill Fletcher's weekly show Arise! It includes a 10 minute interview about unions and culture.
