re: Use BBEdit as your terminal editor

if for some reason you don't want to change your default editor from pico/vi to bbedit you can also add this to your login file (~/.cshrc or ~/.login or ~/Library/init/tcsh/aliases.mine):

alias bbedit "open -a bbedit"

then in the terminal type

bbedit FILE_NAME

Um, why not just install the bbedit command line tool? I believe it comes with both 6.5 and 7.0, has a bunch of options, and lets do Unix-y thinkgs like pipe commands to BBEdit.

It only came with the pro version. Those of use using BBEdit Lite, since we used it only occasionaly, made use of the above. Actually you had to have the full path for it to work.

i.e.
/Applications/BBEdit\ Lite\ 6.5/BBEdit\ Lite

or whatever it was.

Now that BBEdit Lite is apparently being discontinued I don't know if this is an issue. (The old Lite does everything I need, so it isn't an issue to me - I do my HTML in GoLive)
