I know, I know, TextWrangler isn’t supported any more and I’ll have to swap to BBEdit in 10.15.
This is still cool, though. It’s a built-in diff tool! I use WinMerge when I need to compare two files kinda ad hoc on Windows (kdiff3 for “real” diffs on macOS and Windows), but didn’t have a similar tool for macOS.

Except I did.

1. Open two documents (in my case, style.css in both the original and modified parent theme) that you’d like to compare

2. Click View > Show Files or type CMD + 0. This will open a sidebar with all opened documents.

3. Highlight the 2 files you want to compare in the Documents drawer, right click on them and select the option ‘Compare‘.

Hello all, there is a very simple way to make a shortcut for the 'strikethrough text' command in Leopard

1) Open System Preferences and open the Keyboard & Mouse section
2) Switch to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab
- Here you will see a list of all the keyboard shortcuts available

3) click the + button in the bottom left
4) Select "All Applications" from the drop down so that your strikethrough command will work no matter where you're using it
5) set the "Menu Title:" to "Strikethrough"
6) select the "Keyboard Shortcut:" text field and type in your desired shortcut
7) enjoy

Not that useful, but add it to this:

This only works if you have the Ruler showing in TextEdit, and if you create a style called Strikethrough. But it does indeed work if you do those things.

Now if I add to this the hint on adding a highlighter effect to TextEdit from here at Mac OS X Hints, I finally can take a highlighter pen to a TextEdit doc with a keystroke. I called the style "yellow highlighter" and substituted that for "Strikethrough" in the above instructions and voila! Kewlness, in a sort of Mac-addict-y way.

I can't figure out how to make it work in Mail.app, but you can cut and paste pretty easily. Just need to set up a command to unhighlight and I'm rockin'.
