What's so different about having an Interarchy (or whatever) window
always open and a BBEdit FTP browser always open? Either way, you
just click into it, select a file, and perform some operation.
No difference; I don't like either of them. I don't want to have to
go through an FTP browser window either in Interarchy or BBEdit
to simply open a file for editing.
I strongly prefer the old behavior:
- command-shift-o to open a connection window
- "Enter" to connect
- command-g go go to the directory I want
- keyboard or arrows to select the file
- enter to open the file.
Done. Simple and efficient.
If they're files you edit regularly, BBE FTP Open makes it like this:
- [your favorite keystroke to invoke] opens a Choose From List window
- select the file(s) you want
- enter to open the file(s)
That's even simpler and more efficient. :-)
Of course there's the initial configuration where you put all the
file paths into the database (which is a BBEdit text file;), but then
it's easy as 22/7.
