BBEdit 14.0.1 – Scroll Text Up Past Bottom of Window

[Christopher Stone]

Hey Folks,

BBEdit 12.x allowed the user to scroll text up past the bottom of the window, so you could conveniently position the cursor in your comfort zone without having to add blank lines to the end of your text.

I'm looking in the prefs and expert prefs and can't find the setting.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

TIA.

I think it’s.

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit ExtraSpaceInTextViews -bool YES

Hey Christopher,

That didn't work for me, but it helped me do some sleuthing.

There is NO “ExtraSpaceInTextViews” pref in the currently listed expert prefs for BBEdit 14.

However – this string worked for me (thankfully):

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit ExtraSpaceInTextViews -string "ESfp"

Oh sorry about that, and thanks. I knew this existed but had never tried it out. I think I like it.

Same place; same setting.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

Hey Rich,

Well, where?

It's not listed in the expert settings for BBEdit 14.x.

Open preferences, select "Editing", about 2/3 down "Extra vertical space"

Hey Jan,

Super!

Many thanks.

That's the first place I looked, but I didn't recognize the name.

Hey Tom,

Eh?

Hmm...  Sure enough.  I see it in the group online.

I was sure the image was missing from my copy of the message in Mail (Mojave), but I just checked – and it's there.

Thanks for pointing that out.
