For the same reason that Andy would like to have BBEdit in the Service name, I'd like to see a list of all the services available for all the Barebones applications. Is there a place on the Barebones support site listing the services offered by the Barebones applications? I didn't find anything in Help or in the preferences so just having a reference someplace would be helpful. I have more than 100 services under Text in the obscure location Apple has chosen to put the Services preferences, but it's easy for me to see which ones are from BBEdit, Yojimbo and TextWrangler so just a simple list would help. Also, it may not meet Apple guidelines, but Omni applications append the application name to the front of the command, e.g. OmniFocus: Send to Inbox. As an example, I'd like to select a function in BBEdit and save it as a new note in Yojimbo with styled text so I can see the color coding when browsing the code library I'm building. That might be possible, but it's not apparent from the Yojimbo or BBEdit documentation. Some example workflows could also be useful in figuring out how it all can work. Finally, on a somewhat related now, there was a subtle change in the way documents are opened in a recent version of BBEdit. Previously, opening an sftp document in CyberDuck or from the Finder opened it in the frontmost BBEdit window, but now it seems to open it in the frontmost non-project window. In some cases, I've added the documents to a current project just so they'll open via sftp in that Window, but it would be nice if BBEdit were smarter or helpful about where documents are opened.
