Any plan to port a Linux (debian/Ubuntu) version

I am in the process of building a Linux workstation but will most likely keep several macs as well. I like BBedit very much but will be vulnerable to a multi-platform equivalent. Any plan to port BBedit? --- I suspect that other users may follow a similar route. I use BBedit to code in

Export settings

I work on several computers. Ideally I'd sync preferences via something like Dropbox. But I'd understand if files have to be copied manually. Found this . I'll try it but if there's a better

document structure for single-page site development

I'll be working for a few-to-many weeks on a single-page site and was wondering how experienced developers structure such a project. The site involves very little html (50 lines), a fair amount of styling (200+ lines), javaScript (1000+ lines), and AJAX procedures handled by php scripts.

Re: Do not delete compiled python scripts on quit?

Interesting suggestion (write routine) but I wouldn't know where to start and the "inconvenience" is minimal. (And yes, files are saved to disk, such that I could switch in terminal and run from there. Just more convenient to hit cmd-R from BBEdit) So, if a future BBEdit release were to check

Do not delete compiled python scripts on quit?

RUN in terminal aborts if BBEdit quits. From what I understand, quitting BBEdit purges compiled scripts on quit, which makes perfect sense. But I like to run scripts once I *think* I am done. Some take several minutes to complete, so I usually start some other small task. After a while I may

possible to fold/unfold a group enclosing current cursor?

I am familiar with unfold selection. I tend to fold everything and move around to work on a specific area. I'd like to be able to unfold a section without having to select it first. i.e. unfold/fold at cursor; without having to select. Is this possible? -- This is the BBEdit Talk public

Create a "foldable" section within a Python function

I have a long list of constants at the top of a function. Would be great if is could be collapsed, like what happens with def / comment_blocks / """ strings """ and such. I cannot find a command that would "create a fold", or a way to define custom regions. I do not wish to spend a

What about BBEdit attracts you to the program over others?

Assign shortcut to ctrl-Move to New Window?

I usually keep all files related to a project in a main window (and activate a specific document as needed). I sometimes would like to move a document to a new window whenever I move several bits of code from one document to the next. ctrl-Move to New Window does the trick. Is it possible to

Running python script is locking windows

New to writing Python scripts on BBEdit -- sorry if this is obvious. When BEdit is used to run a script, a modal window appears and the script window is no longer accessible. Not a big deal in most cases, but I am now working a scripts that run for hours and would like to be able to
