Craig, So you are want to open urls to files and folders from an open document in bbedit? Assuming I got that right, there is an 'Open URL' contextual menu. Just right (ctrl) click on a url and have at it.
There is also Edit > Copy Path > Copy URL to get an escaped version of the open file’s URL. Such as: file:///Users/chris/Desktop/file%20with%20spaces.txt <file:///Users/chris/Desktop/file%20with%20spaces.txt> Also 'CMD I' will open an info panel on the open doc that you can copy the path from. Does that help? — Chris(topher)? > On Jan 10, 2022, at 3:45 PM, Craig Heilman <[email protected]> wrote: > > In my local note files (text but with .md file extension), I often include > links to other files using the file URL scheme (“<file:///User/me > <file:///User/me>/…>”) as I can then easily navigate to those files by simply > Cmd-clicking anywhere in the URL.
