Hello @lbutlr — The issue here is to write a script that will automatically hide the text status bar:
- There’s no UI for that (except clearing all text status bar prefs as you mentioned). - There IS mention of a “status bar” (not “text status bar”) in the AppleScript dictionary for the app, but setting it generates an error. - I can’t find any mention of text status bar or its properties in the AppleScript dictionary for BBEdit. I’m okay with the idea of clearing all the preferences for “text status bar” in order to hide it, but I can’t see a way to do that via AppleScript. Do you? For instance, are all preferences for all AppleScript enabled apps available as a dictionary somewhere non-obvious (to newbie me)? Aside from all that: - Do you know of a way to make the right-side scrollbar on the editor “auto hide” like all the other scrollbars in desktop apps?
