I hate to be that guy, but why do you want to do this? Whatever problem you’re trying to solve or get around, this is probably not the right way to go; .txt is the standard and not only that, the *overwhelming* standard extension for a plain text file. As far as I know, the only way to do this would be to set a language type and set that language type to use .text There is an expert preference in BBEdit 10 which may still be present: > defaults write com.barebones.bbedit PreferredFilenameExtension_<LanguageName> > -string "abc" > > Replace <LanguageName> with the actual language name; for example: > > defaults write com.barebones.bbedit PreferredFilenameExtension_C++ -string > "cxx"defaults write com.barebones.bbedit PreferredFilenameExtension_YAML > -string "yaml" > > Note that the extension you specify should not include the leading period. But I do not know if this is still in BBEdit 11 or not, nor if it would work with the default for files without a "language". -- "I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way." -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
