The attachment script for dropped images–super cool. One BBEdit project per… project, and I can easily cross link things if I choose. I have some cobbled together thing with Vimwiki which works okay, but BBEdit’s Projects seem to be better suited for me for project-oriented work. OneNote isn’t bad, but I can’t have my stuff locked up into some cloud only format. I still prefer to mostly work in plain text (Markdown to be specific) and am allergic to using our prescribed note taking tool, OneNote. I’m doing less coding and website stuff, both personally and professionally, and more ‘knowledge management’. And wow, has the Preview in BBEdit function gained functionality. The new LSP integration is also very cool. While I was well accustomed to the scripting and filtering features, the Open File by Name and Go->Commands features bring some of the fuzzy file finder-ness and keyboard centric navigation I’m used to from Vim. And not surprisingly, BBEdit has advanced a lot since I’ve used it daily. I bought v14 like I always do and started to play around with it. Which leads me to the release of BBEdit 14. Even better, BBEdit is approved for install on our computers. BBEdit 14įastforward to this year, and I’m finally back on a Mac at work. ![]() I still bought every version of BBEdit that came out, as it was useful to have around for certain things, as well as to support a good Mac software developer. After leaving that job, I got stuck on Windows computers for about 8 years at work, so I just soldiered on with Vim. I was also using one laptop for both personal and work stuff, so I had plenty of time to tinker. I bit the bullet, learned Vim and all of its weirdness, and switched over. My sloppy coding had me going to the arrow keys all the time for corrections, and it was bothering my wrist. I lived in BBEdit.Īround 2011, 1 with me doing lots of Python scripting/analysis (and using mutt for email) I started to take a closer look at Vim. This sounds like a digression, but I wrote some scripts to use BBEdit as my editor for mutt. I eventually moved on from Mailsmith due to the rise of IMAP (and really, iPhones), and I settled on mutt. Once OS X killed Eudora, I moved to Bare Bone’s Mailsmith email client, which shares a lot of DNA with BBEdit. I learned Python in it, wrote both my undergraduate thesis and my graduate dissertation, both in LaTeX, which I also learned with BBEdit. ![]() I’m sure I used ‘borrowed’ copies until I started grad school, when I purchased my own copy circa 2001. I think I started with version 4 sometime in college. ![]()
