Yesterday, I updated to BBEdit 10. Outside of the different UI for open documents, I didn’t notice anything truly different until I tried to access my collection of Text Factories.
In BBEdit 10, the Text Factories still may be accessed under the Text menu, but the Text Factories have been renamed to Text Filter, and appear at the top of the Text menu instead of a third of the way down. Additionally, the hot keys for my Text Factories did not transfer over. To reset the hot keys, Window > Palettes > Text Filters brings up the menu for setting a key for the renamed Text Filters.
If you are upgrading, I would suggest renaming the previous version to BBEdit-9-6-4.app. After installing BBEdit 10, I was still able to access the older version to look up all my old hot keys. If I replaced BBEdit 9 with BBEdit 10, I would have been in big trouble.
