Hi - I know these messages are old, but I am running into the same issues.
But nothing suggested here works WRT using the keyboard. Cmd-Option-arrows
doesn't seem to do anything. Neither do the ctrl-tab options.
What I want to do is use the keyboard to select a different file from the
project file list.
I ran all the recommended expert preferences. This one didn't work (a
single-click still displays the file):
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit ProjectsOpenItemsOnSingleClick -bool NO
I'm also not sure what the difference between opening for edit and
revealing is, but this also didn't seem to do anything.
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit AutoRevealSelectedDocumentInProjectList
-bool YES
In any case, all I am looking for is keyboard control of the project's file
list.
Thanks -- Barbara
