A few more suggestions on minor issues:
- Chunk up undo actions. E.g., undo shouldn't undo a bunch of typing
by single letters, but instead by the whole typing episode.
- When I'm selecting big ranges of text, and I've moved the mouse to
or beyond the top or bottom of the page, scroll to reveal more text
and extend the selection.
- Selecting lines is funky with lines that consist of only a newline.
For instance, triple-click to select a line that's part of a block,
then sweep the cursor down. The selection will "stick" above the first
blank line, then snap down to grab that and the first non-empty line
as
you sweep downward. What if I want to grab a block with its trailing
whitespace and move the whole thing? I can't.
- Tiny bug: To reproduce this, cut or delete some selected text, then
undo the cut. The restored text is selected, good. Now move the cursor
with an arrow key: doesn't move as expected! It seems to be offsetting
from the middle of the selection, instead of from the bounds. This
happens
if you make a selection and copy it, as well.

TM 1.0.1 B7 (which I just downloaded) feels really nice. The new tabs
I'm experimenting with feel and look nice, the added preferences are
great, and everything just feels a lot more refined.
SO MANY of the "gripes" and "deal breakers" mentioned on this list have
been nailed by Allan, and the app feels much better for it.
Applause.

Here's an idea (stolen from BBEdit):
A dialog of some sort that appears when running long shell scripts would be
very useful, I have one that runs a compiler, which can take several minutes
and I might want to cancel it rather than wait for the script to timeout.

To what extent is TM applescriptable?
Is it at least possible to somehow replicate this chunk of script re TM?
tell application "BBEdit"
set theSelection to the contents of selection
end tell
I'm wanting to use TM with the PHP Function Index from artis:

Is it possible to get more encodings in the "Open with encoding..." entry
in the menu please? The system's list is pretty long (maybe too long) but
having at least Latin9 (ISO-8859-15) would be nice for us Europeans :-)
Thanks,

Hello,
When reindenting code, I usually doubleclick on the whitespace to the
left on the first word on the line. I'm expecting the whitespace only
to get highlighted, TextMate highlights all the whitespace and the
first word. Very annoying!

Allan,
I've found a bug with mirror typing in that I seem to be able to get stuck
in mirror typing mode. It seems related to how many tab completions there
are, if I tab all the way through them and then press tab one more time then
mirror typing is cancelled, but if I ignore one of them then the file in
question gets stuck with mirror typing on and some very odd things happen
(like multiple copies of whatever text Im typing appearing on the same
line). Once in this weird mode the line upon which the mirror typing was
initially active seems to remain in this mode, other lines in the same file
are fine, hitting tab again seems to kill it off.
I reckon there are a couple of possible solutions to this seeing as how it
is difficult to tell when the user wants to abandon mirror mode and return
to normal, you could use a key press to cancel the mode, like escape for
example, and you could supplement that with some form of user feedback about
which mode you are in, an icon in the status bar or something would be
useful, or I guess you could just improve your rules for automatically
figuring out which mode the user is in.
Anyway, just thought you should know, keep up the good work, the betas are
looking great!

First: I´m delighted and impressed with the frequency of
beta-releases, A joy checking for updates every night :)
On Beta6 it was really nice to see the interface improvements. Border
on the gutter, and a elegant wrap-line really, makes a difference.. So
much so, that I instantly made replacements for the folding widgets.
Based on my previously released mock-up; The arrow-directions are more
visible, and the ellipsis got a minor tweak to work better on dark
backgrounds. It still looks a bit messy when a document has many
foldings, so I included a set of light arrows which I propose to use
on level 2 and below.
Differencing background-color of the folding column from the rest of
the gutter, would also be nice.. I believe :)
My files are available on the following address:

Is there any way to disable the double click open thing?
Since double click the the finder-way to open files, Whem I want to
open a file (with TM), I often double click the drawer items instead of
single clicking them.
With the new "open with finder" feature/bug, I end up launching
subethaedit and jedit accidently all the time.
