Using BBEdit 11.1.2 with a MacBook Pro and 27" iMac as an external
monitor. When opening a document, BBEdit opens it to the full height
of the iMac screen. If I want to move the window to my MBP, I have to
manually resize the window. Is there a way to restrict the size of a window when it opens?


You can control the default size & position of editing windows by just creating a new editing window (File -> New -> Text Window), resizing and/or moving that window to whatever size and position you prefer, and then selecting Window -> Save Default Window.

Once you have done so, BBEdit will use the specified size & position as the defaults for all new editing windows.

Next, if you move an editing window from a larger to a smaller display, BBEdit should automatically 'shrink' that window to fit entirely into the smaller display.

Last but by no means least :-), if you're familiar with AppleScript, you can quite readily use it to make further window positioning refinements.
