Right.
In the latest release in svn I deleted the older ones.

I rewrote the command, but it didn't really help.
I added a snippet class="whatever" bound to the key equivalent "=".  
That's what I use when my cursor is in the right place already.
But, you're right. I need to make it work there too. Consarnit! ;)

Yeah, I agree. I sometimes do weeks worth of work in nothing but JS.  
I hastily tacked on some javascript stuff into balance jr 2.0. I  
realized a bit after I had released it that it screwed a bunch of  
other stuff up.
I've fiddled and fiddled with it. And I'm not convinced that there is  
no simple way to make a single Balance Jr that'll work in all languages.
So, I'm going to make a separate set for each major set of languages.
The current default one is good for XML-esque languages, as well as CSS.
A curly bracketed version scoped properly will be my next release.

This is now your time to influence how i design that version.
What do you want to be included in the Shemp Jr 1.0 release?
What should be selected, and in what order?

I'm thinking: strings, round & curly brackets, js objects, comma  
delimited stuff, js functions & obvious variables.
I'm not too sure about those last two. What do you guys think?
