Steven Frank replied on September 21, 2009 20:40 to the idea "Multiple select" in Panic Inc:

Are you referring to editing a multiple selection of lines in the editor, or files in the file browser?

The file browser supports contiguous and discontiguous file selection with the shift and command key modifiers. You can also change between single-click and double-click to open files in preferences.

As for the editor, do a Coda help search for "Blockedit". It might do what you need?

Steven Frank replied on September 15, 2009 18:21 to the question "Automator can't use the Transmit actions" in Panic Inc:

Until we can get this resolved properly, please try this workaround:

In the Finder, locate Automator, click once to highlight it, choose "Get Info" from the File menu, then check "Open in 32-Bit Mode" in the Get Info window.

Steven Frank replied on May 07, 2009 17:42 to the problem "Coda freezes when my Mac sleeps ..." in Panic Inc:

That's definitely not normal behavior. The next time it happens, pop open a Terminal and run this command:

sample -file ~/Desktop/sample.txt Coda 5

Send us the sample.txt file that appears on your desktop, and we should be able to tell what Coda is doing internally that is locking it up.

We use the standard Mac keyboard shortcut Command-G for "Find Next".

I just finished writing a blog entry about this very issue!

Steven Frank replied on January 19, 2009 17:33 to the question "in-line php syntax validation?" in Panic Inc:

I haven't personally tried it, but you can check out the "PHP Plugin" developed by one of our users, which says it does PHP validation:

Steven Frank replied on January 05, 2009 20:31 to the idea "Implement 3 finger back/forward gestures for browsing in Transmit" in Panic Inc:

It's a great idea! Unfortunately, Apple doesn't provide a way for third party developers to support these gestures yet. It might be something that's available in 10.6, but we'll have to wait and see.

Steven Frank replied on December 04, 2008 18:57 to the question "Folders where art thou" in Panic Inc:

In Coda parlance, "Upload" means the local file will be placed in the current remote directory. "Publish" means the local file will be placed in the correct equivalent position in the remote hierarchy, according to the Site's configuration.

It sounds like you are looking to Publish an entire folder, which we unfortunately don't have yet, but it's a very common request, so likely to be added soon.

Steven Frank replied on December 03, 2008 18:56 to the question "Share Coda sites to transmit" in Panic Inc:

This is definitely something we need to look into. We couldn't originally do it because Transmit favorites didn't have a "Remote URL" field, but now they do, so I don't think there is anything holding us back any more.

Steven Frank replied on December 01, 2008 18:19 to the idea "First screen on open should be sites" in Panic Inc:

The answer is: it depends!

But if you want to open Sites by default, there is a preference to do so. (In the General tab, "New windows open with")

Steven Frank replied on November 29, 2008 19:18 to the idea "Multiple placeholders in Clips" in Panic Inc:

Very popular request -- definitely on our list.

Steven Frank replied on November 29, 2008 19:05 to the idea "PHP Classes - Auto Complete" in Panic Inc:

It's one of our top requests. Definitely on our list.

Steven Frank replied on November 28, 2008 22:38 to the question "Double Clicking Variable names in PHP" in Panic Inc:

We're planning to make this a preference in the next major version of Coda, as there is a pretty close to 50/50 split on user opinion as to how it should work.

Steven Frank replied on November 20, 2008 19:23 to the question "Is it possible to have inline JS highlight inside a specific function?" in Panic Inc:

It's certainly possible, but maybe a bit more complex than it might seem on the surface.

We need to work out a way that people who want to can add on super-specific functionality like this without slowing down the editor for people who don't use (for example) CakePHP.

If we can figure that out, it will be beneficial for users of all frameworks, code libraries, etc.

Anyway, thanks for the request. It might be a while before we can tackle it, but it's on our minds.

Steven Frank replied on November 20, 2008 19:17 to the idea "Shift text right/left with tab (plugin idea maybe?)" in Panic Inc:

This is a very popular request, and I think in the not-too-distant future, we will probably offer a preference to use tab/shift-tab rather than cmd-[ and cmd-] for indenting and outdenting.

Steven Frank replied on November 12, 2008 06:22 to the idea "Fireworks' Coda-reply." in Panic Inc:

We're not currently working on a program like this, but we're always interested in hearing your suggestions. Who knows what the future could bring?

Steven Frank replied on November 12, 2008 06:18 to the idea "You should allow us to import our bundles from TextMate" in Panic Inc:

Coda 1.6 now features a plug-in interface with a high-level of compatibility with TextMate bundle commands. We think this will help you do the sorts of things you used to do with TextMate bundles. Let us know if we missed something.

Steven Frank replied on November 12, 2008 06:16 to the idea "Code completion for CSS within an HTML doc" in Panic Inc:

Should be working as of Coda 1.5!

Steven Frank replied on November 12, 2008 06:16 to the idea "Find and Replace in Coda... Please" in Panic Inc:

Site-wide search and replace was added in Coda 1.5. Thanks, all!
