[TxMt] Three requests

I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate:

(1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank). 

Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail.

CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner. 

I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y

(2) Indented reformatting.  

It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look. 

So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front. 

(3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes

This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here.  While in a programming mode,  hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc. 

I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor.

Greetings,

Normand Mousseau
