Glad to hear that BBEdit's AppleScript language is a little larger than the
.sdef suggests.
I hadn't thought about looking at Script Editor's recording result. Great idea!
Thanks, guys.

If you use the Script Editor to record BBEdit's Find Differences -> Compare
Two Front Windows command you'll find the recording is something like:
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
compare text document id 717 against text document id 716 options {ignore
blank lines:true, ignore RCS
You can get the "first text document", "second text document", etc. so a
command like this will compare the front two windows.
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
compare first text document against second text document options {ignore RCS
keywords:true, ignore all spaces:true}
end tell
Is there AppleScript language in BBEdit 14.6.9 equivalent to Search > Find
Differences > Compare Two Front Windows? The .sdef suggests only files and
folders:
compare v : compares two files or folders
compare file
: the
new file/folder
against file
: the
old file/folder
[options Compare
thanks for suggesting that, Sam. I hadn't revisited that pane in a while. I
haven't disabled the commands, however. Per my latest comment, BBEdit does
not find it via Help menu for some reason, but I can work around that.
cheers,
Luc

Thank you! That's it.
Interestingly, when in BBEdit > Help menu, I type `compare two`, that menu
item is not revealed by BBEdit. If I type `find differences`, I can get to
the menu and navigate with arrow keys from there.
my solution will be to setup a keyboard shortcut.
Cheers,

Luc,
On my copy of BBEdit (version 13.1.2 (414058, 64-bit, sandboxed)) on
macOS (version 10.15.6 (19G73)), I see this command under Search > Find
Differences > Compare Two Front Windows.
Is it possible that you’ve disabled this command under Preferences >
Menus & Shortcuts?
Hope this
Compare Two Front Windows is in the Search > Find Differences submenu.
Regards,
Neil Faiman

macOS 10.14.6 . Yes, I searched for command in BBEdit's Help menu...

Hi, In BBEDit 13, I can't find "Compare Two Front Windows". I used to
use "Compare Two Front Documents" a lot in and < to BBEdit 12.
