✨ NAME ✨

bluefish — an editor for experienced web designers and programmers 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bluefish [[-c|--curwindow] | [-n|--newwindow]] [FILE(S)...]

bluefish {[-?|--help|--help-all|--help-*] | [-v|--Version]}
the way those two lines are completely different modes of existing... one of them opens files, one of them just wants to tell you things. pick a lane, king. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so bluefish is an open-source editor for experienced web designers and programmers — it supports many programming and markup languages, but its whole main character energy is focused on creating dynamic and interactive websites. literally what it was born to do. no cap. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

bluefish currently supports the following options, and yes we're listing every single one, bestie:

  • -c, --curwindow — open a file in an existing window. you can use this to overwrite the chosen default. 🪟✨
  • -n, --newwindow — open a file in a new window. this one also overwrites the chosen default, just in the opposite direction. slay. 🆕
  • -?, --help, --help-*, --help-all — print all the help options, or just one group of them. heads up though: some of these options may be documented over in gtk-options(7) and gnome-options(7). iykyk. 📖
  • -v, --Version — print version information. that's it, that's the whole job. 💀
