TextEdit acts like default text editor at times

[Brian Gollands]

rMBP 2012 / OS10.15 / BBEdit 14

Anybody else have a problem with TextEdit being invoked when 
double-clicking on a .txt file that is set to be opened with BBEdit? This 
has been an annoyance over several versions of the OS.

All .txt files are set to BB and their file icons reflect this. But 
double-clicking them or choosing Open opens them in TextEdit. Choosing my 
contextual command Open in BBEdit works OK. The latest straw was in using 
Hook's command to Make a New Note in BBEdit. It, too, makes the file in 
TextEdit.

Have tried making a zip of TE and deleting the original (so I didn't lose 
it completely), but can't seem to do this even in Terminal due to some 
magical protection conveyed by its living in /System/Applications/ I guess.

I have a lot of apps installed, but don't recall any other setting I've 
changed that would cause this. Is there a default text editor config I'm 
missing?

Thanks for any help,
Brian

Re: Can't assign certain key combinations to clippings

[Brian Gollands]

Thanks for testing that, Kendall. I guess that's the next step -- deleting 
prefs and maybe temporarily uninstalling certain apps like KM and KC. The 
problem isn't a showstopper, but there are only so many key combinations 
that I can remember and those are nice simple ones!

Can't assign certain key combinations to clippings

[Brian Gollands]

Using latest BBEdit and X.12 and I have had a number of clippings that I 
use for adding HTML to text. I had assigned shortcuts to a lot of these and 
in the last year sometime, some of them stopped working and I can't reset 
them. Only certain combinations won't allow me to set them in the Clippings 
palette (i.e., there is no response when I try to edit shortcuts and type 
something into the field). I am running Keyboard Maestro, but have turned 
it off, as well as checked for conflicting shortcut assignments. I also 
went into Sys Prefs and removed any conflicting shortcuts in Keyboards > 
Shortcuts. And KeyCue doesn't show any being used by the system. I also 
logged in as a new user to avoid any accumulated "baggage" -- no joy.

Some of the problem shortcuts are:
ctl-opt-cmd-p
ctl-opt-cmd-s
ctl-opt-cmd-t
ctl-opt-cmd-c

These don't seem to be used BBEdit. Can anyone think of any other place 
these might be assigned? Maybe an installed app uses those, but registers 
them system-wide, even though it's not open? Again, nothing shows in 
KeyCue. Any suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!

a tootsie pop?

[Brian Gollands]

ok, i know i'm a little drugged from healing a broken elbow, but in doing a 
multifile search, i just saw a message in the upper left of the pane in 
place of the normal statement about the number of hits:
It takes 0 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop

can't reproduce it and don't know if this is just testing code that got 
left behind. if it's an easter egg, where's my tootsie pop?  :-)
