If you don't need to reload in the web browser, look at "Preview
in BBEdit" feature. You can configure BBEdit to send a request
to your local server and display the response in BBEdit live. I
think this feature was in BBEdit 9.
You could also use any of the shiny javascript tools, including
webpack, browserify, gulp, or grunt. I use webpack now. I save
a file in BBEdit, and it automatically reloads in the web browser.

I have a web page open in a Firefox tab. I also have the local
page source (running off my local MAMP development server) open
in BBEdit 9.6.3 (in Snow Leopard), as well as a Firefox
debugger/console window (Firebug) open... three windows in all,
on two monitors.
I save my changes in BBEdit frequently, and I need to
frequently reload the web page to see the effect... which also
updates the debugger window. I can switch to the Firefox window
(mouse click or Command-Tab), then Command-R to reload the
browser (which also reloads the debugger console), then switch
back to BBEdit to resume editing... but that's all rather
inconvenient. Too many clicks or keystrokes.
A faster way is to stay in BBEdit and just hit f6, "Preview in
Firefox". That works, but every time I do that it opens a new
tab (showing a dupe of the same page) in Firefox. Eventually I
have a gazillion identical tabs there, which eats up resources
and gets really annoying, so I have to switch over to Firefox
frequently to close all the redundant tabs. Which makes this no
better than the first method.
Is there some way to have BBEdit preview/update the current
code in the _current_ Firefox tab, rather than opening a new
one each time?
Thanks,
Lawrence
