BBEdit for Mac

What's new in this version:

Fixed:
- Fixed crash or other misbehavior which would occur when an SFTP connection failed due to host key mismatch, port number misuse (pro tip: port 21 is for FTP, port 22 is for SFTP, and FTP and SFTP are not related in any way other than sharing three letters), or other exceptional conditions
- Corrected a behavior regression in which new documents could be created in the active project/instaproject, rather than in a new window or in the first available non-project window (depending on settings)
- Fixed bug in which global disablement of LSP semantic token coloring wasn’t respected
- Fixed bug in which Prefix/Suffix Lines mishandled partial-line selection ranges
- Allow Command-delete as a synonym for “Don’t Save” in the “do you want to save changes to this document” close alert
- Fixed crash that would occur when closing the Find window in the (very short) time interval during which it was waiting to update live match state
- Fixed crash that would occur when closing a document at the same time a clock change, time zone change, or day change notification was received in the application
- Fixed crash which could be caused by immediately closing an FTP browser or project window immediately (in a very narrow time window) after opening it
- Made a change to address a rare reported crash
- Made a change to address a reported sporadic crash which would occur when loading a file
- Made changes to resolve a potential race condition that could cause the minimap to crash sporadically
- Fixed a potential crash which could occur while quitting, when an open window was blocked by a window-modal sheet
- Fixed an obscure crash which could occur if a document was closed while waiting for the application to finish restoring its soft wrap and selection state (if it had been soft wrapped)
- Fixed crash that would occur while checking links in a file and the project site settings didn’t specify a server URL or directory
- Function scanning in codeless language modules once again considers text in comments; this had changed (intentionally) for 16.0, but there were unintended consequences for some language module developers
- Improved reporting of Git merge conflicts in the working copy status
- Fixed bug in which site deployment would silently do nothing if the local content root wasn’t in a Git repository
- Fixed an ancient lurking horror involving leading slashes in SFTP server paths
- Fixed a bug in which certain character sequences in DefaultKeyBindings.dict weren’t interpreted correctly
- Corrected several behaviors in vi emulation involving Visual mode and word-oriented editing. Visual e now extends the selection through the final character of the word; iw is now recognized for inner-word selections and operator commands such as viw, diw, and ciw; and s now substitutes the current character or selection and enters Insert mode
- Fixed misplacement of the insertion point after zero-length LSP edits occurring during certain completions
- Made a change to prevent a race deadlock when checking the modification date of a remote file before saving it
- Fix a crash which could occur in the Find window when dismissing it via a Return key in the search text box, and an error (such as a malformed Grep pattern) occurred in the process
- Fixed insertion point misplacement when using G in vi mode in soft wrapped documents
- Made a change to resolve a Shell Worksheet behavior issue when sending very large command strings to the shell
- Fixed regression in which the legacy “Keyword Pattern” codeless language module key was not loaded or validated
- Corrected title of the “Show in Finder” entry in the Menus & Shortcuts settings
- Fixed regression in which Unix shell script coloring would get confused by things that looked like they might have been regular expressions, but weren’t
- Corrected behavior of line-oriented commands in vi mode
- Corrected misbehavior of counted dd, cc, and yy in vi mode, in which the range of lines affected always started at BOF
- Implemented { and } for paragraph movement in vi mode
- Corrected the font attributes returned by requests from the accessibility API to include a correct specification of the font, as well as the prevailing foreground color
- Corrected calculations for text range boundaries requested via the accessibility API when Soft Wrap Text was turned on
- Return the actual effective font size via the accessibility API, rather than relying on the client to determine magnification
- Corrected behavior of o/O in vi mode
- Fixed bug in which blockquote markers were not colored correctly for successive blockquote runs in Markdown documents
- Corrected handling of unexpected response block types in Anthropic API responses
- Improved correctness of vi word motion and insertion placement when exiting visual mode
- Removed the vestigial “Remove” item from the context menu in the custom language settings list
- Corrected selection/cursor behavior when using t and friends in vi mode
- Corrected coloring while editing in files backed by some codeless language modules
- Corrected behavior of a in vi mode when used at end-of-line
- Corrected behavior of screen-movement keys in vi mode
- Corrected appearance of the “exchange find and replace field contents” button in the Find and Multi-File Search windows when running on macOS 14
