BBEdit 9.2 is Out

BBEdit.jpg

My favorite Mac OS X editor - BBEdit, was updated today to 9.2. There are several things I asked for in this release:

  • ability to make ctags files from the bbedit executable
  • added better function searching in navigation bar

to be fair, there are a ton of changes, and unfortunately, not all of them I'm really happy about. The biggie I noticed right off was the fact that the status bar is now below the horizontal scroll bar, and there seems to be no way to hide the horizontal scroll bar. I need to scroll horizontally, but not all that much. The old scheme was perfect, in my mind. Sad to see it's gone.

After looking at it for a little bit I decided that since I could not remove the horizontal scroll bar, I dropped the status bar. Not what I wanted, but it seems unavoidable.

UPDATE: Interestingly, the file position "appears" to the left of the horizontal scroll bar if you move the cursor. When you switch to another window, it disappears again. Interesting... this is the single most important part of the status bar, and since it's available as I'm moving in the file, I guess it's not really "missing". Great. Kind of wild, but neat.
