BBEdit’s File Handling Features
BBEdit offers the following core features for working with local and remote files:
- Projects contain files and folder listings to organize your work
- Disk browsers view directory listings and edit files on any mounted file system (local or remote), as well as Zip archives (including EPUB and other Zip-archive file formats)
- Browse and edit the contents of Zip archives (or any Zip-based file format, such as EPUB).
- Rapid access to files in your projects via “Open File by Name”.
- Unlimited Undo/Redo
- Multiple Clipboards with Paste Previous Clipboard command
- Window control with “splittable” editing windows and window arranging commands, ability to synchronize scrolling in multiple windows, and a floating list of open windows
- A multiple-documents-per-window interaction model, accessed via:
- a list of all of the documents that are open in that window,
- Navigation Bar contains a popup menu with a list of all of the documents open in the window as well as “Previous Document” and “Next Document” commands
- You can still use the original one-window-per-document model, if you prefer
- Save any window as a project
