Howdy,

That's good to hear. BBEdit is definitely not a Cocoa app so it has always had the old File menu which includes Save As… with its usual shortcut. Apple has made that ability to add/change keyboard shortcuts for Cocoa apps better with each OS version update.

Now I'm looking forward to Mountain Lion a bit more although I will turn off many of the other `iOS-like'' features.

Good Luck,
