LOL kind of the same story as mind.

1. I want to change the highlight colour. It is too dim to recognize.

People in the forum asked: hey I don't want hidden settings. Can you make the highlight colour adjustable?

A: No. We won't do it. [1]

2. I forgot if it is the print function or what, it just don't have despite in the year of 2022. Oh wait maybe that is the function "export to pdf".

People in the forum asked: Where can I do that thing?

A: We don't know either. Go find other editor if you want it.




If it’s export to pdf I’d think simply being on Mac solves that assuming it has print functionality. Is the issue the print functionality in MacOS can’t handle files as big as BBEdit can making using that sometimes impossible?

Or maybe it is actually a lack of print functionality and you’re remembering export to pdf cause it came up in that conversation?

I would test myself but I don’t have the app installed right now.


It does indeed have working print functionality. As you say, it's on macOS and so this automatically means it has PDF export.

I'll admit I've never used said print functionality, so I can't rule out that it's missing something that some people consider important.
