For detailed information on using any of BBEdit's features, please refer to the user manual (choose "User Manual" from BBEdit's Help menu).

Important: Please make sure that you have read the BBEdit 14.0 change notes, as there are significant changes from previous versions.

Additions & Changes

  • BBEdit 14.0.4 does not add any new features. (It doesn't take away any, either.)

Fixes

  • Fixed regression in which double-clicking a lone selected file in the FTP/SFTP browser window would not open it as was intended.

  • Fixed a cosmetic issue with the layout of the Preferences window sidebar when running on pre-11.0 versions of macOS.

  • Made a change to the "Get Info" panel so that spaces are allowed at the beginning and/or end of a file name, as when renaming items in the Finder.

  • Fixed crash which would occur when trying to use Quick Look to preview items in a Disk Browser window's sidebar.

  • Fixed bug in which the active conda environment (if used) was not properly propagated to #! script execution via the "Run" command when in Free Mode. When running a Python script this would usually result in the wrong interpreter version being used, and/or packages unexpectedly not being found.

  • When verifying the suitability of a compiled executable, BBEdit now allows 64-bit x86_64 (Intel) binaries to qualify when running natively on arm64 (M1). This allows things to keep working when you haven't updated your installed tools yet. (But you should.)

  • Worked around macOS 12 behavior change which caused menu keyboard equivalents for some items to be incorrectly "translated" for users of non-English keyboard layouts. This broke both display and invocation of those equivalents for those users.
