Working perfectly now. No need for arguments in the command line tool either, unless one wants to get "fancy". Google searches come up with the correct solution only if you know that command line tools are involved in the first place! Thanks again, Fritz. For posterity's sake, here is the correct way to accomplish "view source" in Firefox with BBedit on a Mac / OSX. 1) In bbedit: install command line tools 2) In Firefox: about:config 3) set view_source.editor.external to True 4) set view_source.editor.path to /usr/bin/bbedit 5) keep view_source.editor.path blank or set to --separate-windows if you want each source opened in a separate window -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
