Sooo, I haven't done this in a while, but the other thing the ascii palette let you do was highlight a character in a document and then see what it is... Is there an equivalent of that?

Re: Missing ASCII Palette?
I don't follow how leaving the system character viewer open (once customised) and using that is more convoluted than leaving BBEdit's open and using it?
