Here’s mine so far:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
try
set win to text window 1
tell win
set show gutter to false
set show navigation bar to false
set smart quotes to true
set sidebar visible to false
set show line numbers to false
set soft wrap width to 80
set soft wrap text to true
set soft wrap mode to window width
set display magnification to 1.25
end tell
on error str
display alert str
end try
end tell
A bit of redundancy with activate and setting a win variable, but this is where
I left off. I have other scripts for other modes so I don’t worry about toggles
in this case.
Do you think we should report the show status bar property as a bug?
