I don't use Joplin, and I don't know how it works or how you have it configured.

I tried it out and found that the obvious notion of pointing the external editor preference at /Applications/BBEdit.app(*) has bugs: it launches the wrong BBEdit (one is already running) and doesn't seem to open the note at all.

On the other hand, specifying "bbedit" or "/usr/local/bin/bbedit" with an argument of "-w" appears to do nothing, and reports no error. ("emacs" behaves similarly.)

So if there's a way to tell Joplin to run a command-line tool for the external editor, I would expect that to work and perhaps it's worth filing a bug report with Joplin about that.

I have no idea how Joplin works internally so I have no further insights to offer.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
