There are a couple of ‘expert’ preferences that I expect will make life better for you.
> - Settings to make BBEdit a simple markdown editor (I want Markdown to be > the primary document type). defaults write com.barebones.bbedit DefaultLanguageNameForNewDocuments -string "Markdown" > - How to save my post as a .md file. You can add the extension as you like, but to make it the default for Markdown files: defaults write com.barebones.bbedit PreferredFilenameExtension\_Markdown -string "md" > - How to setup BBEdit to open within a folder I use to save my posts (It is > in my Dropbox but for all intents and purposes it is just a folder in > Finder). You could probably come up with a script that would do this, but if you use Default Folder, it could take care of it I believe. > - Anything I may be missing to make my writing experience distraction free > and painless. You can customise the display and editor on a per-language basis in the Languages preferences pane. For example, I have soft wrapping to window and typographer’s quotes turned on for Markdown, but not in editor defaults. Because I don’t use curled quotes at work, and I want to end files with a newline, I use an EditorConfig profile to change those settings on a per-directory basis. You can also customise the display and turn off any irrelevant or ‘distracting’ parts of the navigation and text status bars. rd. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
