Hey Folks,
For years I've had a bookmark in Safari for BBEdit's Expert Preferences,
because I absolutely despise OSX's Help Viewer - and Safari runs 24/7 on my
system.
It was prefaced with 'bbx;', so it was really easy to get to.
But. I just got sick of the minimal fuss necessary to get there and wrote a
script access it more easily with a keyboard shortcut from BBEdit.
I gave mine a keyboard shortcut of ⌘⌥⇧^E.

Best Regards,
Chris
