And BBEdit 9 adds a new Append Selection To Scratchpad command to Mac OS X’s Services menu, so you can send text to BBEdit’s Scratchpad from any program that supports Services. This is perfect for those situations when you want to copy and paste blocks of text, modify them a bit, and then paste the changed text back to a document. The new Scratchpad makes it easy to transform and edit text without opening a new document window. And with Find Differences, it’s now possible to move edits character by character from one version of a file to another. The history of your search-and-replace operations is now preserved, even when you quit the program. It’s convenient, saves time, and reduces window clutter. These editable text views also show up when you browse disks and check syntax. In this version, that bottom pane’s text contents are fully editable you no longer have to open separate editing windows. The Find and Multi-File Search dialog boxes are now modeless, so you can edit your text with the search window still open.For some time now, BBEdit has had a Find All search that produced a two-paned results window: On top you’d see a list of the search hits clicking on one of those hits displayed it in context in the bottom pane. In the new BBEdit, the search windows for both Find and Multi-File Search are modeless, meaning you can move freely back and forth between an open document and the search window, without closing the latter. In those older versions, the search dialog box was modal, meaning you had to dismiss the search dialog before continuing your work. Find-and-replace is one of the most-used features in any text editor, and here BBEdit 9 breaks dramatically from its previous versions.
