Hi Rails, I don’t wan’t to start an argument on what „modern developer workflow“ would mean. Personally, I would never want to have an automatic saveOnSwitching - but I can see why someone might like it.
That said, rejoice: BBEdit already has you covered. Read the section „Attaching Scripts to Events“ in chapter 13 of the fine manual (p. 300ff in the version 12.1.4). BBEdit provides useful hooks to hang small convenience scripts on. Quote: > applicationWillSwitchOut: called when BBEdit is being put into the > background. You could use this (for example) to save outstanding changes to > the front document. > (Another not-BBEdit-centric recommendation: Try the excellent Keyboard Maestro <http://keyboardmaestro.com/>. You can use it to add this kind of behavior and a gazillion more to any app).
