Agreed - I always keep my BBEdit search independent of the
System-wide find scrap.
For future reference, to make handling updates and
[re-]installation of BBEdit easier, I save a BBEdit worksheet
with a bunch of Expert Prefs. Then all I have to do is select
the one I want and press Enter (or Command + Return, depending
on the keyboard). When I hear of another expert pref that looks
handy, I add it to the worksheet, which lives in my
DropBox/cloud storage near where I keep Application Support/BBEdit.
Here's an example, the expert pref related to the find scrap:
## Worksheet excerpt: ##
# To tell BBEdit not to import the Find Scrap into its Find window,
# nor to export the "search for" string to the Find Scrap:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit FindDialog_UsesFindScrap
-bool NO
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit FindDialog_UsesFindScrap
-bool YES
defaults read com.barebones.bbedit FindDialog_UsesFindScrap
0
## End of excerpt ##
As you can see, I keep both the NO and YES settings, in case I
want to reverse the setting. The third line above is a way to
check what the setting is - note the word 'read' instead of
'write'. Evoked on the worksheet, that read returns a true/false
value, 1 or 0, on the line below; if the pref is one I change a
lot, I leave the read value there as a reminder. If 'read'
returns nothing, that pref hasn't been set (so it's the factory default).
I keep similar worksheets for other apps and one for system
prefs as well.
