It's a wiki, i. e. a collaborative effort, and the whole point is that other people are supposed to edit it. Any bias (real or perceived) is mitigated if a large number of people are contribute to it.
Most of what I've written there has been mentioned here anyway and I'd be helpful to others if you would add your replies to the wikipage. :-)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that preference, thanks.

No, I haven't. (My new university has a cms, so I didn't need to edit web pages remotely in a while.)
But as far as I understand rmate only works via ssh, and I do not have ssh access to all necessary university web servers. To most, I have ftp access (which is antiquated, unencrypted and the whole nine yards, but I'm not in a position to change it).
In any way, thanks!

When copying a line of right-to-left Hebrew text from one file to another in TM2 9064 using my mouse (OS 10.7.3), I noticed the highlighting of text didn't cover the Hebrew text, but white space to the right of the Hebrew text.
See screen shot attached. To copy the Hebrew of line 12 (and it worked), I had to click on the beginning of line 13 (to the L), drag to the right of line 12 so that the highlighting would be just to the right of the Hebrew text. Then, Command C would properly copy the four Hebrew words.
If I dragged the mouse so as to cover as much of the Hebrew line as possible, it would cover the whole Hebrew text except the last letter (ם). But then only this last letter could be copied to the other file.
Is this the correct behavior when yanking right-to-left text? I'm asking because I may need to continue using Mellel in parallel with TM for this kind of task. I was beginning to think I could do without it completely. Not a problem, but I thought I would ask if the behavior I see is what I can expect to see in TM's future.

Typically, TM2's file browser adds an x to the right of any opened files. This not just indicates which files are open, clicking in it closes the files.
Since there are no projects in TM2, I've added a link to a file located in another directory. Double clicking it opens the file, but no x appears next to the file.
Also, it would help if TextMate would distinguish between files and symbolic links.

Bundles that didn't install: I added .tmbundle to the name and all was well. D'oh.
<rant>Whyever does the OS keep trying to suppress the suffix?</rant>

I have a pretty reliable permanent hang after updating to r9062 this
evening. The hang isn't immediate, but happens pretty reliably after
editing tracked files for 10 minutes or so.
Inspecting a sample of the process suggests it is scm:background_status
that is hanging. My repo is git. I tried disabling the SCM bundle, but
that doesn't appear to have helped.
The sample, if it's helpful: http://pastie.org/3411939

I have seven bundles in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Avian/Bundles . TM2 loads all but two. Of those, one is a collection of my own snippets; the other is Whitespace.tmbundle from Mads Hartmann Jensen. I have no idea why TM2 loads five of the seven and ignores the other two. I tried double clicking the two, which happily installed them into TM1. Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm trying to use a regexp with look-ahead. The search works, but
clicking "replace" button does nothing. I'm stumped. Here's an example:
Find: public (?=int)
Replace: private
Regular expression: checked
Ignore case: unchecked
Wrap around: checked
Click "find" and "public " is selected, but then clicking "replace" does
nothing. Also "replace and find" goes to the next occurrence, but does not
perform the replacement.
Using Textmate 1.5.10
Thanks,

Is there any way to avoid the "What is the file type of..." dialog when
opening a file with an unknown (or non-existent) extension? For me, 99%
of the time those files are plain text. I want save a step and have TM2
treat any unrecognized file as plain text. In the rare case that it's
something else I can manually change it after the file has been opened.
Is there some way I can get this behavior?

I had set the font of my project/folder via the View->Font menu to
"ProFontWindows" 9
In my folder, I create .tm_properties with the following content.
TM_GIT = "/usr/local/bin/git"
TEST_DEFAULT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize"
["*.txt"]
fontName = "Menlo"
fontSize = 16
TEST_TXT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize"
In a txt file, I execute the following line with ^R
echo $TEST_TXT_FONT
=Menlo/16
echo $TEST_DEFAULT_FONT
=/
But the problem is the the buffer is not rendered with Menlo size 16.
Is my font setting via the menu overriding the font setting in the
.tm_properties file? How do I reset it if that's the case?
Thanks

Hello,
This is probably a minor note, but one feature of some recent tabbed
interfaces (Chrome) that I quite like is deferring the auto-resize of tabs
after one is closed until either a delay or the mouse leaves the tab area.
This makes subsequent actions (either selection or further closes) more
pleasant, because you don't have moving targets, which can cause accidental
actions.
Pretty low priority, obviously, but I thought I would bring it up because
I've been opening and closing lots of tabs today.
