Hello everyone,
I am a new user of BBedit and I am learning how to use it right now.

I like very much how the program allows deploying via FTP any changes made on the local files, but I am wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut for the "Deploy Site..." command which I see only reachable via mouse under the cloud icon at the bottom of the sidebar.

Please, let me know, that'd be very useful!

Thanks.

Hi,

I think you might need to manually map that to a key combination, but you can actually do that. Just open the BBEdit Preferences, click "Menus & Shortcuts", click Full Menus, and then navigate to the command you are interested in, click on the word "none" on the right hand side, and then, finally, execute the keyboard shortcut you'd like to use for that command.

If the shortcut is already in use, BBEdit will notify you and give the chance to replace it.

Thank you Ted, I have tried that, but I can't find the "Deploy Site..." command anywhere in that panel. Under what menu should I look? I looked everywhere and I couldn't find it.

I'll be waiting for your additional thoughts.

Thanks again.

Fab.

No more help? Can anyone confirm that there isn't a keyboard shortcut for that command?

Indeed I am unable to find that command.

I'm also unable to reproduce because all of my servers use private key authentication and I am not seeing how to do that using BBEdit and SFTP.

And finally, you said:

I'm not sure what version of BBEdit you're using but maybe it's not the most recent?

Good luck.

PS: It doesn't sit terribly well with me that your response is "No more help?" rather than "I looked around some more and found that there are other Mac system utilities such as Keyboard Maestro that will allow me to do what I want."

PPS: One of the advantages to paying for software is access to support. Have you tried contacting support? They're normally quick to respond…

I just checked the preferences and the manual and it doesn't look like it's even possible to assign a shortcut to that item.

It's very much the most recent. If you check the manual, you see that you need to do a few things before getting to that display. If you search for "deploy" in the manual you'll find it.

PS: It doesn't sit terribly well with me that your response is "No more help?" rather than "I looked around some more and found that there are other Mac system utilities such as Keyboard Maestro that will allow me to do what I want."

Well, BBEdit has an extremely well documented manual and amazing preference settings, along with being advertized as *the* thing to work on HTML, so one has every right to expect that feature. But the command is not even in the AS dictionary.

And they're here too.

Thank you to everyone for your replies and help. I ended up contacting support and they confirmed there isn't a short cut for that command yet, and they are going to implement it in the next release.

Thanks again!

All the best,

Fab.
