Good { morning, afternoon, evening },
We are pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of BBEdit
15.0. This major upgrade adds nearly two hundred new features, improvements to
existing features, and minor refinements.
Here are the high points, excerpted from the "What's New in BBEdit 15" page at
<https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/bbedit15.html>.
* Minimap
A new Minimap palette shows a high-level overview of the active text
document. This facilitates visualization of the document's overall
structure, as well as navigation within larger documents.
* Expandable “Cheat Sheets”
Building on the concept of the Grep Cheat Sheet used in its Find
windows, BBEdit 15 introduces the ability to create and use your own
Cheat Sheets, which are functional references for text markup and
editing. Included are cheat sheets for basic Markdown syntax and for
BBEdit's clippings placeholders.
* ChatGPT Worksheets
BBEdit 15’s joins BBEdit’s unique “worksheet” interface to ChatGPT,
so that you can have conversations with ChatGPT right in BBEdit
itself — no application switching or awkward copy/paste from a web
browser. Each chat worksheet that you create maintains its own
history, so that you can easily refer back to past conversations, or
keep a conversation going across an extended period of time.
* Project Workspace and Settings Improvements
BBEdit’s unique “Text Factory” feature has been reimagined for
version 15. All available transformations are listed for easy
access, and assembling a factory requires fewer steps. A new “Run
Unix Command” operation improves factory portability by storing the
Unix command in the factory itself.
