I have been using Bike for over a week now (bought a license halfway through) on my large collection of outline formatted txt files.
I would like to propose a focus-beam feature. It would allow moving the focus up or down the tree (at the same level):
enter focus mode (option-command right)
option-command up or option-command down
to move up or down the tree at the same level
I think you can do this now with a script.
This script will “focus beam down”. You can modify it to “focus beam up” by replacing next sibling row
with prev sibling row
.
tell front document of application "Bike"
if exists focused row then
set each to next sibling row of focused row
repeat while each ≠ missing value
if name of each ≠ "" then
set focused row to each
return
else
set each to next sibling row of each
end if
end repeat
end if
beep
end tell

@TrapezeArtist I’ve updated the script to use new properties that are part of Bike (50). Much simpler now. I also fixed a problem where the focus stack kept growing when changing focus to a sibling. Now when you focus out after using this script it should take you up a level right away.
Perfect!
Thank you very much, Jesse.
