There is an expert prefs option which you can set to obtain this behavior.
Cribbing from the "Expert Preferences" page of the online help
(Help -> BBEdit Help):
================
Projects
* In project windows, the file list does not accept keyboard focus
by default, unless the editing view is hidden. You can
modify this
so that the file list gets the focus whenever you click on it:
[ by issuing the following Terminal command ]
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
ProjectsListCanAcquireKeyboardFocus -bool YES
================
Having made the above change, you may further wish to enable the
next option to prevent keyboard navigation "over" files from
automatically opening them:
================
Projects
* In project windows, the file list does not accept [ ... ]
* Project windows will ordinarily open an item in the file list
for editing when you click on it and the editing view is visible.
To require a double-click:
[ just enter the following Terminal command ]
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
ProjectsOpenItemsOnSingleClick -bool NO
================
(PS: Since the latter option does work :-) please check to
ensure you've entered the command exactly as it appears above.)
