What do I want out of this thread? Reread my OP. Workarounds! Copy/Pasting into/out of Yojimbo/Evernote won't solve the problem, for reasons I mentioned (thanks for the suggestion, though). Anything else? Any non-crusties who've even partially solved this problem without saving every single nascent scratchy, tenuous, in-progress doc to disk, and praying Spotlight can retrieve it later?

So, the suggestion I gave, which adds *one* single keystroke to the workflow, isn't acceptable. Why, because it's not built in to BBEdit?

Do you have an irrational fear of AppleScript? Is there some other reason that solutions involving AppleScript are not satisfactory for you? Every user of BBEdit I've conversed with has their own personal library of scripts to make their workflow do what they want.

The BBSW developers have included (by far) the best AppleScript support I've seen, just so that users like you can achieve their desired workflow. I suggest you read the manual, learn to use the tool to get as close as you can to what you want. Then ask on this list for assistance to get script(s) doing exactly what you want.

I used to accept an extra key shortcut or two to achieve my desired workflow. With the addition of Menu Scripts and Attachment Scripts, many of those key shortcuts are not even needed.

Learn to use the tool. After you've done that, if there are still "holes" then talk to the list about improving your scripts.

There are heaps of really helpful people on this list. The best way to take advantage of that help is to be a bit flexible with the methodology.
