As a more general option, you can transfer all your existing BBEdit preference settings from one Mac to another as follows:

Please make sure BBEdit is not running on either machine, then open the Terminal utility app on the _source Mac_ and enter the following command (you can copy & paste it):

defaults export com.barebones.bbedit ~/Desktop/BBEditPreferences.plist

Next, transfer the resulting file ("BBEditPreferences.plist") to the Desktop on your _target Mac_, which you can do by any standard means (e.g. via iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or an USB thumb drive).

Then, launch the Terminal app on the target Mac and run the following command to apply the transferred prefs (again, you can copy & paste it):

defaults import com.barebones.bbedit ~/Desktop/BBEditPreferences.plist


In addition, if you have any existing BBEdit app support items, such as clippings, scripts, and/or text filters, you can also transfer those items from your original machine to the new one.

For details on BBEdit's supporting items, including their locations, please see Chapter 2 of the included PDF manual (available at any time by choosing Help -> User Manual).

Folks,

I've just started using a new Macbook Pro and BBEdit 13.5.7 on it and notice that I'm not shown how many changes BBEdit Find&Replace affected after a given action. I'm used to seeing that on my old Macbook Pro. I would even like to see it for a few more seconds than I used to previously if possible.

I cannot find where in the preferences that setting would be.  Help?

Thanks!!!

Peter
