Allan,
TextMate 2.0 looks really good. It's very exciting to finally have our hands on it after such a long wait. I love the new file browser sidebar replacing the drawer but have a couple items as food for thought. I know you aren't asking for feedback at this point so I hope you don't mind.
First, the "new file" and "new folder buttons from 1.x are gone. I hope you'll bring them back. I use them quite a bit.
Second, I always place the drawer on the right side in 1.x. If you can make an option for this that would be cool.
Finally, a couple of aesthetic items. I would prefer the toolbar on the bottom of the file browser as this would match the toolbar on the editor side and not compete with the tab bar visually. It would also be cool if the sidebar could be themed so it matches our text. I prefer a dark background when editing and the sidebar is currently bright white, while others might like the bright white or other light background.
Also, I assume the theme editor is missing because this is Alpha and will eventually return to 2.0. Is that correct?
Regards,
Matthew
First of all, I'm glad that 2.0 alpha is out and I'll put it through its paces over the course of the week.
I understand that a lot of functionality (e. g. UI customization) is missing, but it is planned to include it later. In order to avoid nagging Allen for things that are on his todo list anyway, what should alpha users focus on when giving feedback?

I'd like to propose an extension to the multiple-selection functionality that makes it easier to use entirely from the keyboard. Currently you can perform a multiple selection using entirely the keyboard if you can use Find All (⌥⌘F). I think it would be nice if you could use the arrow keys to navigate as usual, then tap command (or some other key combo) to set a caret in the current location, keep navigating, set another caret, etc. Once you build up several carets you can begin editing via some other keystroke.
This would work kind of like TM1's rectangular selection using the option key. What do you all think?
While typing a filename in the 'goto file' dialogue, the autocomplete fails
to find files that contain additional periods before the extension period.
For example:
Filename: foo.bar.c
after you type the period in 'foo.' the file is no longer visible in the
list. If you completely type the name of the file 'foo.bar.c' then the file
is found.
Best Regards,
Arthur.
I am new to the world of TextMate, and I absolutely love this editor! I am very thrilled to see that version 2 is nearing release, and cannot wait to see it! My question for you is: I will be purchasing TM very soon; do you prefer that I go ahead and purchase the license for version 1.5 now, or is it better to wait until general release of 2.0? Either way, I am buying it!
Keep up the great work!
Greetings-
A small matter, but the Lilypond bundle can't find the shell command
"pre" in TextMate 2 (8930). I couldn't find it either.
I'm happy to fix this, but am unsure where/whether bash_init.sh is
used anymore in TM2.
Thanks! Charles
Hey Everyone,
Has anyone poking with TM2 figured out how to change themes? In the preferences window I see how to install/remove themes but not how to apply them.
Just wondering.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new TM2 bundle but can't find out where it should go or how to go about doing so. Can we currently create new bundles even if it's a bit hack and slash and where should we drop them?

I'm very much looking forward to the prerelease of the next major version of TextMate. What day this month can we look forward to it?
