Unable to get IntelliJ to successfully use BBEdit as an External Editor?

Here's what I saw, after I set that up in IntelliJ:

You must allow `bbedit` to send events to the BBEdit application.

Use `tccutil reset AppleEvents` to reset the system's permissions, and try again.

bbedit: error: -1743

I don't want to "reset the system's permissions", even if only for AppleEvents.

So here's what I did instead:

1. Within IntelliJ, open a Terminal pane / tab.
2. At that terminal prompt, paste something like this:
• osascript -e 'tell application "BBEdit" to set position of every window to {0, 44}'
• (Yes that's ugly - it was a handy "innocuous" AppleEvent -- which did the job.)
• And execute it. (ex: Press Return.)
3. Click "OK" to allow IntelliJ to send AppleEvents to BBEdit.

To see the effect this has had:

1. Open System Preferences.
2. Select Security & Privacy.
3. Scroll down & select Automation.
4. IntelliJ is now listed, with the permission to control the BBEdit app.
• Which you also have likely also allowed, for the Terminal app.
