Hey David, You could give ‘Reload from Disk’ a keyboard shortcut in BBEdit's ‘Menus & Shortcuts’ prefs if manual activation would work for you.
As Rich mentioned – reloading isn't scriptable – but if you really need it to be then either Keyboard Maestro <https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/> or FastScripts <https://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/> and UI-Scripting would probably be the way to go. (BBEdit doesn't like doing UI-Scripting from its own script menu.) Here's how to do it with AppleScript and UI-Scripting: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # Auth: Christopher Stone # dCre: 2018/02/04 21:00 # dMod: 2018/02/04 21:10 # Appl: BBEdit, System Events # Task: Activate ‘Reload from Disk’ menu item. # Libs: None # Osax: None # Tags: @Applescript, @Script, @BBEdit, @System_Events, @Activate, @Reload_from_Disk, @Menu, @Item ---------------------------------------------------------------- tell application "System Events" tell application process "BBEdit" tell menu bar 1 tell menu bar item "File" tell menu 1 tell menu item "Reload from Disk" if enabled then perform action "AXPress" end if end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rich also mentioned that BBEdit is very good about reloading files when the disk content changes. But ‘Automatically refresh documents as they change on disk’ must be turned [ON] in the ‘Application’ preference panel. I have seen rare occasions when this didn't work properly with certain documents, although NOT so far with BBEdit 12. -- Best Regards, Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
