Yes.

I don't recall you saying this before, but see below.

It's when you wrap your ignorance in arrogance like this that
leads me (and others?) to almost ignore the opportunity to give
you suggestions.
Anyway, you are asking for behavior that seems inconsistent and
contradictory, perhaps because it wasn't stated clearly.
But MOVING ON, here's a _partial_ solution, based on your latest
request (above):
1. Set a menu command for Save Default Window.
2. Record an Applescript of simply calling that menu command.
3. Save the script in the ~/Library/Application
Support/BBEdit/Menu Scripts folder, named "BBEdit•Quit BBEdit"
(no quotes).
But let me caution you:
- In previous messages you refer to the "main" BBEdit window. No
such thing. Maybe you mean "front-most".
- If your settings make BBEdit save state and honor saved state,
individual documents should open the way they've been last
modified, regardless of BBEdit-wide preference settings and
new-doc settings.
HTH
