I have used BBEdit with Unix line breaks for longer than I can remember. I have never run into an issue on the Mac - but of course, if I am not using BBEdit to edit a text file I am using vim so I doubt I would have run into a reason for a problem. Of course, Mac OS X is Unix so I would think most modern Mac apps would not have a problem with the Unix format.

I am working with some files with Unix line endings, which I would like to be able to open and view properly then save again with Unix line endings. Currently I have Preferences/Text Files set to translate line breaks, and default set to Mac(CR).

This seems to be ok, I can view the files in the proper format but I'm unsure of all the interactions. ie. if I edit the file and save it again, does 'Translate line breaks' save with Unix line breaks?

Is it perhaps better in general to set the Default line breaks to Unix(LF)?

Thx for any insight.
