Access this through the pop-up menus
Authored by: jolinwarren on Dec 04, '02 01:55:50PM

I agree that this a useful feature. Just to note, though, this can also be accessed through the pop-up menus in the 'status bar' at the top of each window (presuming you have it displayed). Clicking on the square with the 'i-beam' cursor on it pops up the 'Insert Menu'. From here you can insert into your document "File Contents", "File Path", "Folder Listing", or "Folder Path". The "Folder Listing" item does exactly the same thing as this hint, but you can choose the folder through the standard open dialogue box -- if you want to insert the listing of your hard drive, just select it. The "...Path" options of this menu can be useful too.

Note that as of BBEdit [Lite] 6.1.x, you can specify which items are available in the status bar (Go to "Preferences", then "Status Bar" on the left) so if you've turned off the "Insert Menu" you'll have to turn it on again to use this!
