There was some justifiable concern in the community that power-tool apps like BBEdit may have a hard time making the Apple silicon transition as quickly as we’d like. There are several more new features, but the thing that stands out for me is Apple silicon support. “Rescued Documents” - Have you ever brain farted and quit a document without saving? BBEdit can now save a list of documents closed without saving. I spoke to Rich Siegel about this, and he does a cool trick where it checks the server file date to make sure there are no conflicts. Server Document Snapshots - If you are accessing documents on a server, now when you quit BBEdit, it will save a snapshot of server-based documents, so when you re-open it, things will go much faster. Markdown Cheat Sheet - Just as they recently did with regular expressions, BBEdit also now has built-in tools to help you learn and implement Markdown. Read BBEdit reviews from real users, and view pricing and features of the Text Editors software. If you are getting it from the Mac App Store, it is still Intel-only until Apple allows developers to start distributing Apple silicon builds through the Mac App Store. Ready for Apple Silicon - If you get it from their website, it will be a universal build. There is plenty to like in this new version: Yesterday Bare Bones released BBEdit, version 13.5. That doesn’t seem to be the case this time around and initial signs for Shortcuts and third-party developers are promising.

For detailed information on using any of BBEdits features, please refer to the user manual (choose 'User Manual' from BBEdits Help menu). They worked perfectly together, anarchie allowed you to open the files with bbedit and bbedit could save remotely via anarchie.

I always used anarchie since it was well integrated with bbedit. The last attempt at Mac automation for the masses (Automator) never really took off not as a result of any problem with the underlying technology but, in my opinion at least, a lack of enthusiasm from the suits at Apple. BBEdit is a professional HTML and text editor for the Macintosh. For information on changes made in previous versions of BBEdit, please see the 'release notes archive':archivednotes.html. I have to say I have never used bbedits ftp, didnt even know it had one. They’ll get some Shortcuts support in and then watch for Apple’s lead before going into deeper waters. Talking to Mac app developers, I get the impression that will be the case for many apps.

Granted, the initial Shortcuts actions, relating to file creation only, are not super deep, it’s a beachhead. BBEdit 10.5. Seeing apps like BBEdit begin to adopt Shortcuts is a good sign. (It was first released in 1992.) I know people that switched to the Mac for the exclusive purpose of using BBEdit. As Mac applications go, BBEdit is one of the standard-bearers. You can now create a text document and create a note in BBEdtin from Shortcuts on the Mac.
#BBEDIT HELP UPDATE#
When you restart BBEdit, you can now quickly access the Writing Server bookmark in the FTP Browser window by clicking “Connect” and the Blue Flag icon.BBEdit recently released a nice update (version 14.1) with, among other things, Shortcuts support. When prompted for a “Bookmark name”, enter “Writing Server.” To bookmark the server for quick access in the future, click the folder dropdown at the top center of the FTP Browser window and click “Add Bookmark”. You will now be connected to the Writing Server!Ĥ. If you receive a pop-up about the authenticity of the host, click “Yes” or “Continue” Password: Enter your writing server password hereģ. If you do not, click File->New->FTP/SFTP Browser window. When you first open BBEdit, you should see a “FTP Browser” window.
