New Documents in Snow Leopard's TextEdit

In the Snow Leopard version of TextEdit, you can now create a new document by Control-clicking TextEdit's Dock icon (when it's running), and choosing New Document from the pop-up menu. This isn't a major feature, of course, since you can also just press Command-N while in TextEdit, but consider Control-clicking other applications' Dock icons to see what functions they might make available.

BBEdit 6.1.2 offers improved performance under Mac OS X, compatibility with a wider range of FTP servers, and support for previewing Web documents using OmniWeb, a Cocoa-based Web browser for Mac OS X. As usual, Bare Bones has posted a complete list of fixes and changes. The update is a 3.5 MB download; BBEdit 6.1.2 runs on PowerPC-based systems running System 7.5.5 or higher (Mac OS 8.6 or later recommended). [GD]
