Simple BBEdit Menu Scripts

BBEdit allows users to override menu actions with a small bit of AppleScript.

Here’s something really dopey I whipped up to favor Transmit over the built-in FTP/SFTP:

on menuselect()
	tell application "Transmit"
		activate
	end tell
	set troof to true
	return troof
end menuselect

(Returning true means, override the menu item entirely; returning false fires the menus action after the applescript as run. I don’t think it’s possible to do ‘return true’ in AppleScript.)

Pretty neat. This is an unexplored region of BBEdit with a lot of potential.
