Hello again!

How can I open a file from a BBEdit-project in a separate window?

Until now I used split window for this but I keep thinking that I'd like to see more context - so two separate windows with the same file open would be what I want.

Funny that I can do this wenn NOT in a BBEdit-project: I can always choose from the context-menu "Open in Additional Window"… but I couldn't find this for files within a BBEdit-project.

Regards,
Vlad

"Open in Additional Window" is always available for the document
being displayed, irrespective of how you opened it.

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

Not here (macOS Mojave 10.14.6, BBEdit version 13.0.5 (413082, 64-bit, sandboxed)):

It doesn’t appear in a BBEdit-project:

It appears for a „normal“ BBEdit-file:

Have a look in the menu bar. :-) It's there and it works.

Thanks!

BUT: Why does it missing in the context menu in the project?

You can also use the context menu in the open documents list below
when you're using a project. The top set is your projects, the list
below is your open documents. I've myself wondered, but I've simply
gotten used to the slight weirdness.

Using your own screenshot, right click where I put the arrow.

Thanks, Steve - I never expected this option there!
