Perhaps I’ve missed something (it’s been a tough old day!) but I felt I should say something in case anyone else encounters the same thing.īut none of that affects my level of gratitude – I’m genuinely very thankful to you for illuminating how easily my issue could be solved by changing an obscure application preference. TextWranglers best-of-class features include 'grep' (regular-expression) pattern matching, search and replace across multiple files, function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, code folding, FTP and SFTP open and save, AppleScript, Mac OS X Unix scripting support, and much more. The screen cap provided shows the “Fornat> Use the Format menu to choose settings for an open document” is already toggled from “Rich text” to “Plain text” but this wasn’t the case in my “TextEdit> Preferences” until I amended it when my save dialog remained unchanged from beforehand. I’ve only just bought my first MacBook so in some ways I’m new to this (despite having first used a Mac decades ago) hence I’m not sure whether another step was necessary because of a change in OS or a difference between Mac and MacBook – or maybe this page hasn’t displayed correctly for me and I’ve not seen allot step 1 in your above method. Thanks for putting this online, Akshay, I’d never have worked it out independently.
