Here is the relevant excerpt from the BBEdit 15.0 change notes:

===

The Sidebar preferences have a setting: "Allow keyboard focus". When this is 
turned on (as it is by default, or if you previously used the expert 
preference), the sidebar lists in projects, and multi-document windows can 
acquire keyboard focus (by clicking or tabbing into them), and then 
conventional keyboard navigation gestures will change the selection.

With this change, sidebar behavior is changed somewhat (tl;dr: it's like Xcode):

the selection highlighting reflects whether or not the sidebar has keyboard 
focus; the background always reflects the activation state of the window.

When you click in the side bar to select something, keyboard focus goes there 
(assuming the preference in "Sidebar" is turned on, as it is by default now). 
Any single click will select a new file, but does not move keyboard focus to 
the text view. You can double-click on an item, press Return/Enter, or use the 
Tab key to move keyboard focus as desired.

Enjoy,

R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
