Re: how to help along with development of 2.0: what should we focus on?

May I suggest that you link to some examples or documentation on how to use some of the new features. E. g. I'd like to try how to use the new »file browser«/project replacement, but I have no clue what to write into the .tm_properties file. I don't need full-fledged documentation, but an example file would be nice. If there are other areas of TextMate that are new and you want us to test, give us a hint how to use them or that they are there. I think a blog post expanding on my question would help channel feedback and steer attention to the issues you're working on. In any case, thanks a lot for the hard work. The fact that TextMate2 is *the* topic of Marco Arments' latest podcast (which was released a day after TextMate2 or so) tells you that the community still loves TM very much and is happy to see progress.

TM2 file browser sidebar

by Matthew Johnson

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

how to help along with development of 2.0: what should we focus on?

by Max Lein

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? Max

A more complete system for keyboard-based multiple selections?

by Jacob Bandes-Storch

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?

Bug - Version 2.0 (8930) - Goto file dialogue not working correctly

by Arthur Goldsmith

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.

Purchase of TextMate

by Michael Sheaver

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!

TextMate 2 can't find "pre" in Lilypond bundle

by Charles Turner

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

TM2: Creating a new bundle?

by Robert Payne

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? -Robert
