Is there a key command that will activate the next open document in a window (moving down one entry in the sidebar)?

Should be cmd-alt-[ and cmd-alt-].

The View > Next Document command seems to be erratic. Sometimes it moves nicely down the column, but it often bounces around out of listed sequence. I'm thinking it might have to do with the otrder tht the documents loaded, rather than their alphabetical sorting, as listed in the sidebar.

Hey Rick,

Scope out the expert preferences:
  • When using the "Previous Document" and "Next Document" commands on the View menu, or the navigation arrows in the navigation bar, the order in which BBEdit navigates documents is determined by the order in which they were opened. If you prefer, these commands can be made to navigate the documents in the order shown in the file list.

    defaults write com.barebones.bbedit SurfNextPreviousInDisplayOrder -bool YES
