I installed BBEdit 10.5 on my laptop to look at it, then removed it and put back 10.1.2 (still running 10.5 on my desktop).

Before installing 10.5 when I was editing a file and I pressed option-command-‘, it would rewrap the current paragraph, and ONLY the current paragraph to 72 characters. It did this without bringing up a dialog/sheet.

Now, it doesn’t do that, and selecting “Rewrap quoted text” rewraps the entire file, including the news headers and the signature, essentially breaking the file. I can select the entire paragraph and rewrap it, but that brings up a sheet to set the various options, unlike before.

I’ve scoured my email to see if I can find what I might have done originally to get command-option-‘ to do what I have been doing for year, but I can’t seem to find it.

I’ve looked through the Services setting in System Preferences -> Keyboard, and looked through BBEdit as well, so far to no avail.

Hard wrap works for text that I have written. Rewrap Quoted text used to 1) work from command-option-‘ and 2) only rewrapped the current paragraph rather than the entire document.

If you pull down the Text menu and press the Option key, "Rewrap Quoted
Text..." should transform into its 'instant' variant of "Rewrap Quoted
Text" and behave as you describe, i.e. wrap the current paragraph* using
the previously-chosen settings.

(* unless there is a broader selection active)

* [DOC] "Hard Wrap" now does, essentially, what "Rewrap Quoted Text"
used to (in fact, the two were virtually identical). So, the latter
command is gone, and "Hard Wrap" brings up a sheet for performing a
quoting-character-aware wrap. (If there are no quote-prefixed lines,
then this behaves identically to the old Hard Wrap.) Note, also,
that there is now only an option for wrapping to a specific
character width.

Rewrapping only the selected text is not a problem here. <shrug>

This is in BBEdit 10.1.2, not BBEdit 10.5. When I hit command-option-‘ nothing happens. If I hold option and chose ‘rewrap” from the text menu, the entire document is rewrapped, not just the paragraph I am in.

The only relevance to 10.5 is that this happened after I installed 10.5 and then reinstalled 10.1.2. Before 10.5, it was working perfectly.

I just discovered I'm in the same situation. I went to Preferences ->
Menus & Shortcuts to try to re-assign command-' to Rewrap Quoted Text
only to find that the command is not listed in Menus & Shortcuts.
The command does exist in the actual Text menu.

I had the same problem when I went 10.5 -> 10.1.3, and the CVS menu options were missing. I ended up restoring

Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.plist
Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Setup/Menu\ Shortcuts.plist

I was just abut to post this. Restoring those two files worked for me as well.

That said, on my BBE10.5/OS 10.7.5 machine, the Hard Wrap command does NOT work as expected either.
