Select all text between quotes, parentheses etc in Atom.io - editor

Sublime Text has this same functionality via:
ctrl+shift+m or cmd+shift+space
How do I accomplish the same thing in Atom?

Select all text between brackets is supported by default Bracket Matcher package.
Works for {}, [] and ():
Ctrl+Cmd+M
To select text inside quotes, you can install expand-selection-to-quotes package and use:
Ctrl+'

Select all text between quotes, parentheses etc in Atom.io:
Ctrl+Alt+,

Atom does not natively support this functionality that I have found.
The closest thing I have seen is this package: https://atom.io/packages/select-scope

Replacing part of LaTeX command using BBedit grep

How can I use the BBedit grep option to replace LaTeX commands like
\textcolor{blue}{Some text}
by the contents of the second set of braces, so
Some text
?
The BBEdit Grep Tutorial gives a lot of information and good examples on using the grep option in BBEdit. What you are trying to achieve is actually a variation of one of the examples. The solution is to enter the following:
Find: \\textcolor\{blue\}\{([^\}]*)\}
Replace: \1
The relevant part is the "Find" section. The first part: \\textcolor\{blue\}\{ basically searches for the content \textcolor{blue}{. You need the \s to escape special characters.
Next, we have the cryptic sequence ([^\}]*): The (...) saves everything inside the parentheses into the variable \1, which you can use in the "Replace" section to insert the content. The [^\}]* consists of ^\} which means match all characters which are not ^ a closing brace \}. With [...]* we say, match any number of "not brace" characters. Overall, this expression makes the grep match all characters which are not closing braces, and saves them into \1.
Finally, the expression ends with a \}, i.e. a closing brace, which is the end of what we want to find.
The "Replace" only contains \1, which is everything inside the parentheses (...) in the "Find" field.

Grep with BBEdit

I do have one large text file with lot of the following patterns;
because of,this
or that,has
or,not
Of course I want to change the following
because of, this
or that, has
or, not
To make myself clear: i would like to insert a space after each ,
How can i do that with BBEdit Find/Replace/Grep?
Find works ok with
[\,](\w)
but i can't figure out the coresponding part for replace.
Find: (\,)(\w)
Replace: \1 \2
Note: You need to hit the spacebar between \1 and \2. Works on my computer with BBedit v13
I complicates matters.
Pattern like Letter,Letter can also be found with ,\b.
\b is at the beginning or end of a word. \b in a regular expression means "word boundary".
The replacement is then done with ,_
Nota Bene: _ is a "Space" after ,
you could just replace all commas with a comma-space and then replace all space-space with space

Multiset notation in LaTeX

Does anyone know how to make (nice looking) double bracket multiset notation in LaTeX, i.e something like (\binom{n}{k}) where there are two outer brackets instead of 1 as in binomial? You can see an example of what I mean in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset under the heading "Multiset coefficients" with the double brackets.
In Wikipedia they typeset it as:
\left(\!\!{n\choose k}\!\!\right)
but although this works well for LaTeX in maths mode, with inline equations the outer bracket becomes much larger than the inner bracket.
I have also tried using
\genfrac{((}{))}{0pt}{}{n}{k}
but it has an error with the double brackets.
I am using \binom as well in my document, so I would like the bracket sizes to be similar for \binom and \multiset.
You can explicitly specify the size of the brackets via
\big( \Big( \bigg( or \Bigg(
Then use \! for negative space to get the brackets closer to each other.
One can use the e-TeX \middle command as follows:
\newcommand{\multibinom}[2]{
\left(\!\middle(\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{#1}{#2}\middle)\!\right)
}
This assumes that you are using the AMSmath package. If not, replace \genfrac with the appropriate construct using \atop.
(Of course this is a hack: the proper solution would be scalable glyphs for the doubled parenthesis, but I can't find any fonts that provide it.)
I'm surprised it wasn't googlable either, so I'll provide a solution here for posterity's sake.
It is also possible to define two different new commands, using \tbinom and \dbinom (section 4.11.2 of the User's Guide for the amsmath Package):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand{\inlinebnm}[2]{\ensuremath{\big(\!\tbinom{#1}{#2}\!\big)}}
\newcommand{\displybnm}[2]{\bigg(\!\!\dbinom{#1}{#2}\!\!\bigg)}
\begin{document}
Text $\inlinebnm{a}{b}$ text. %% inline
Text \inlinebnm{a}{b} text. %% inline (also ok thanks to ensuremath)
\[
\displybnm{a}{b} %% display-style
\]
\end{document}

How to write programming code containing the ' character in latex?

I am trying to write programming code in latex using the verbatim environment, but when I write
\begin{verbatim}
char ch = 'x';
\end{verbatim}
then the ' -characters around x are displayed incorrectly (they look "curly"). How can I fix this problem?
Load the upquote package to fix this issue in verbatim mode.
If you want straight quotes in monospaced text mode (e.g., \texttt{...}), or indeed in any other font, then you can use the \textquotesingle command defined in the textcomp package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{upquote,textcomp}
\begin{document}
\newcommand\upquote[1]{\textquotesingle#1\textquotesingle}
\verb|'c'| \texttt{\upquote{h}}
\textsf{\upquote{h}} \upquote{h}
\end{document}
This will work well for fonts in any encoding rather than depending on a specific glyph slot (such as \char13 in the default OT1 encoding).
Adding \usepackage{upquote} to my preamble was sufficient.
Perhaps older versions of LaTeX or upquote required more work.
I have
What is wrong?
New
If you want to get something like this
write
\makeatletter
\let \#sverbatim \#verbatim
\def \#verbatim {\#sverbatim \verbatimplus}
{\catcode`'=13 \gdef \verbatimplus{\catcode`'=13 \chardef '=13 }}
\makeatother
For displaying source code, you might consider using the listings package; it is quite powerful and offers an option to display “straight” quotation marks.
If you're seeing curly single right quotes in a verbatim environment, then the single right quote in your typewriter font is curly, and that's the correct one to use for what you're doing (which I assume is displaying some C code).
\textsf{``} and \textsf{''} come pretty close to straight quotes. No need for using any special packages.
This is what I got from another source, and this works.
Use `` to start the double quotes (this symbol is below ~ symbol on our keyboard)
Use '' to close the double quotes (this symbol is below the " symbol on our keyboard)
So, `` quote double, unquote double''
Same goes for single quotes, `quote single, unquote single'

Customising word separators in vi

vi treats dash - and space as word separators for commands such as dw and cw.
Is there a way to add underscore _ as well?
I quite often want to change part of a variable name containing underscores, such as changing src_branch to dest_branch. I end up counting characters and using s (like 3sdest), but it would be much easier to use cw (like cwdest).
Is there a way to add underscore _ as well?
:set iskeyword-=_
What is, and is not a member character to keywords depends on the language. For help on iskeyword use :help iskeyword.
In case you're using vim, you can change that by setting the iskeyword option (:he iskeyword). If that is not an option, you can always use ct_ instead of counting.
One other good option in such cases is to use camelcasemotion plugin.
It adds new motions ,b, ,e, and ,w, which work analogously with b, e, and w, except that they recognize CamelCase and snake_case words. With it you can use
c,edest
and this will replace "src_branch" with "dest_branch" if your cursor was on first character of "src_branch".
You could type cf_dest_ and save the counting part.
Edit: or as suggested: ct_ changes text until right before the underline character. (I'm using the f motion more, so it came more naturally to me)
Or you could redefine 'iskeyword' (:help iskeyword for details).
I was just looking at this myself and added this to my .vimrc:
set iskeyword=!-~,^*,^45,^124,^34,192-255,^_
My .vimrc had issues with ^| and ^", which was part of the default iskeyword for my setup, so I changed to their ascii values and it works fine. My main modification was to add "^_" to the end of the default setting to keep vim from seeing underscore as being part of a word.
To delete to the next underscore enter "df_"
To change to the next underscore enter "cf_"
NOTE: don't include the double quotes.
