Thanks Jean, I don't know how many times I looked at the Window and view menus, and never saw "Enter Full Screen" 😳
so my toggle distraction mode script now looks like: tell application "BBEdit" activate try set win to text window 1 tell win set show gutter to (not show gutter) set show navigation bar to (not show navigation bar) set sidebar visible to (not sidebar visible) set show line numbers to (not show line numbers) tell application "System Events" tell process "BBEdit" set frontmost to true -- is this redundant? try click menu item "Enter Full Screen" of menu "View" of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 on error click menu item "Exit Full Screen" of menu "View" of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 end try end tell end tell end tell on error str display alert str end try end tell save that script to my FastScripts folder, give it a shortcut ctrl-shift-option-D and it works a treat. Thanks all.
