Manual Page For bbedit(1)

I discovered today that command l (that is a lowercase L) selects a line in BBEdit. Very handy! It is especially handy because if you use soft line breaks for readability, a double-click of the mouse only gives you one soft break line, command l will give you the entire line without regard for soft line breaks.

As I was looking up documentation to link to on this topic I ran across this:Manual Page For bbedit(1) and found the really handy technique of piping command line stuff into BBEdit:

ls -al | bbedit -t "My Directory Listing"
