Hi Lutz,
Check the BBEdit manual (it's a PDF that downloads so you get
the latest), starting at page 337 "Filters and Scripts". That
section explains how BBEdit helps us by providing a set of
environment variables to scripts that are launched from within BBEdit.
Document State
For convenience, BBEdit sets some runtime environment
variables to provide information about the front document’s
state right before a Unix filter or script is run: ...
Among those environment variables are - yay! - BB_DOC_NAME and BB_DOC_PATH.
So here's a quick Perl script that you could start from. This
opens the front-most file in Safari - I don't have BlueGriffon.
I saved this as ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/get_BBEdit_Doc_test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
exec qx(open -a Safari $ENV{BB_DOC_PATH});
A shell script would also get those environment variables. So
you could put this in a file in the same BBEdit Scripts folder:
#!/bin/bash
open $BB_DOC_PATH -a BlueGriffon
Then just assign a keyboard combination to the script.

Hi Bruce, thanks for the hint. I have no idea how to get the
path to the file except through AppleScript, so this is what I
came up with:
tell application "BBEdit" to set theDoc to file of document 1
set thePOSIXPath to (the POSIX path of theDoc)
set theCommand to "open '" & thePOSIXPath & "' -a BlueGriffon"
do shell script theCommand
It is slow, but it works. Thanks again!

Hi Lutz,
Try a simple shell script or Perl script that opens the html
file in BlueGriffin, saved to your BBEdit scripts folder, with
an assigned key combination.
Reply to this list if this would be foreign territory for you;
some experienced guides inhabit this space (but I didn't want
to presume you'd need that).
