Not sure what this should show, but during the last month/months there  
have been a handful of people reporting that the hack installs fine,  
but using the menu item is a no-op. Maybe a newer WebKit (though it  
still works for me on SL)? So far most people disappear again (they  
report this on IRC) and the two guys who stayed long enough to  
troubleshoot were both using it with regular one-line <input> fields  
which it does not work with (it did in the past, but WebKit is a  
moving target and I stopped chasing it).

Best to test this in TextEdit, as that is using NSTextView rather than  
WebKit.

Ciaran did a debug version of the input manager: http://github.com/ciaran/edit-in-textmate 
  with some extra debug output. You can install that instead, and see  
what you get out of the output. You need to enable debug messages:

     defaults write -globalDomain EditInTextMateDebugEnabled -bool YES
