Reopen with Encoding keyboard shortcut

[Graham Buck]

Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut for Reopen with Encoding. I cannot find it in the BBEdit shortcut preference pane and when trying to set one through the macOS keyboard shortcut system it seems to catch the option under Markup->Character Set.

If not through the gui somehow, maybe through the command line?

Thanks

Works just like it says.  Just created a shortcut to reopen a document in Chinese.

Thank you, I know that.

The issue is that there are two locations in BBEdit's menu system that have both the strings 'Unicode (UTF-8)' and 'Western (Mac OS Roman)'. So the keystroke I set trigger both items.

I do a fair amount of work converting between UTF-8 and Western (Mac OS Roman).

Hey Graham,

No one seems to know that you can be more specific with the system's keyboard shortcuts.

(I myself didn't until today.)

Give it the whole address of the keyboard shortcut like so:

File->Reopen Using Encoding->Unicode (UTF-8)

I am surprised the Reopen submenu is not in BBEdit Menus & Shortcuts preferences.  You may want to contact support and ask about that.

Because you didn't read the KB article I linked, I will summarize.  Specify the complete path to the menu option, not just the terminus.

My apologies, Marc. I began to read it and never finished. I jumped to conclusions.

Thanks for your help.
