I've tried creating a script to switch between open files in a project by recording myself clicking on files in the windows palette. I get, in the script, stuff like select text document X of project window 1 Where X, to me, seems like a random number - I can click on several files, and X might,

Oh, and myself? I have a love-hate relationship with tabs - I use them on other editors, but don't miss them on BBEdit. I think for me it just clutters things up too much, especially if I have a lot of files open. However, I do miss the unified, everything fits in one window approach you get in

Why don't you folks who want tabs just use a bbedit worksheet? I rarely use Finder these days and I never open a bbedit slide drawer. What I do is to always have a bbedit worksheet open on my leftmost monitor. In it are shell scripts that I can select and click any time I want. They are

Btw... how can I switch between open files via hotkeys? And is there a possibility to access open files directly by hotkey? (Cmd+1 for 1st file, Cmt+2 for 2nd, etc) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the BBEdit Talk discussion group on Google Groups. To post to this

I would find a tabbed interface highly useful if it organized open files in a way non-redundant with the Files sidebar. So, suppose: - The tabs default to most-recently used order - The user can drag them into a different order, so that they form a working set Tabs organized these ways would
