For general reference, if you've asked BBEdit to bite off more than it can
reasonably chew :-), please see the section "Launching BBEdit" (pg 44 in the
current edition) within Chapter 3 of the user manual[*]:
Launching BBEdit
To launch BBEdit, double-click the BBEdit application icon or a BBEdit
document. Holding down the following keys at launch has the indicated
effects, overriding any startup options set in the Application preference
panel. When one of these key combinations is applied, BBEdit will beep
after it finishes launching.
Modifier Function
======== ========
Option Suppress startup items only.
Shift Disable all external services and startup items,
and skip reopening all documents except those
which contain unsaved changes.
Command- Disable all external services and startup items,
Control-Shift and optionally discard auto-recover [info] (which
will result in the loss of any unsaved changes).
[*: available at any time via Help -> User Manual ]
Regards,
Patrick Woolsey
