Hi Christopher Thanks for the reply and the script. I've installed it and it does exactly what you say it does. Files must indeed be saved before the 'switch' works like true cycling, but overall I think I can incorporate this into my workflow.
As a sidenote, coming from the more-or-less abanonded TextMate, project managment in BBEdit feels a little bit like it's bolted onto it then in the very DNA of the program, but I've still come to love it thanks to it's versatilaty, speed and stability. Thanks again!
