In this chapter, most of the functionalities of Bluefish are described. What you can do, how you do it, and how you can customize the default behavior.
In GNOME, Bluefish can be started from the Applications/Programming menu. From a terminal, simply launch bluefish using the command bluefish.
There are several useful command line options:
skip root check
display the current version
open a new window
open a project
display this help screen
Many programs like browsers, email clients and file managers can be configured to open files in Bluefish. For example, bluefish '%s' will open a file in the current window, bluefish -n '%s' will open a file in a new window, and bluefish -p '%s' will open a project file.
