I have two requests that I would REALLY like to see coming soon in textmate:
(1) the most important !!! (and I am probably not alone in that): bring back the proper behaviour for CTRL-Y (yank).
Coming Emacs and using this command in all the Apple programs, I always find myself trying it in textmate, to no avail.
CTRL-Y should cut lines, one after the other, and put them in a buffer. I would recommend that it uses the soft and hard-wrap lines the same way, in a transparent manner.
I have adopted textmates last October as my sole text editor, but I miss sorely CTRL-Y
(2) Indented reformatting.
It would be most useful if the formatting of paragraphs following the indentation of first line. This way, we can format text in a latex file, for example, with the proper visual look.
So, if there is 3 spaces before the first character in the first line of the paragraph, the whole paragraph should be formatted with 3 white spaces in front.
(3) Intelligent-tab in programming-language modes
This is also a feature that I love from emacs and that I miss here. While in a programming mode, hitting TAB anywhere on the line shifts the whole line by a tab (SHIFT-TAB does the same in reverse). This makes it very easy when programming to add loops, etc.
I look forward to having those included in textmate. An otherwise very nice editor.

Hi.
I'm not sure if there is some minor adjustment I can make to fix this
.... but after installing 1.0.2 my PHP auto-indenting did not work
anymore. Here is the pattern from the PHP.plist file that was working
fine in <= 1.0.1 :
increaseIndentPattern = "^.*(\\{[^}\"']*|\\([^)\"']*)$";
any suggestions? I know the bundle is active because my custom syntax
highlighting works.

David finally found the time to merge the rollback patch into instiki
but in the process zapped all pages from after november the 5th
(apologies on his behalf for not updating the wiki with this info).
I have a backup of all the current pages, so they are not lost -- but
there is no easy way to import them, so I do think this is the chance
to move to another wiki.
I have no experience with other wiki software, a few things that would
be nice:
o run under apache (to allow for robots.txt and fine-masked
authentication)
o some wiki-spam prevention
o page history with rollback of course ;)
o would be preferable if the syntax is textile for compatibility
o and preferable also if it can import pages easily
If there are any suggestions, it would be nice to know how they fit
with the above requests.
I love column typing, but i dont use it as much as i want because I
rarely have things formated in a way that'll allow using it.
I think it'd be great to be able to just alt-click a bunch of places
to enable column typing (no need to be the same char. num in each
line), and do the column typing in the places you clicked (of course
then it wouldnt really be *column* typing, but i think it's a very
intuitive enhancement...)

Awhile back I seem to remember Allen suggesting he could create a
TextMate protocol (e.g. txmt://path/to/my/file). I've come to the
conclusion that if this was available, I would use it a lot.
Here's one example:
I use Markdown syntax for most of my writing nowadays, but once I've
written something, I want to view it looking nice in a web browser.
Invariably, I need to edit the file later. I have three options: I
could put up a text area and edit it in the web browser. I could launch
my ftp program and Edit Externally... the file. Or I could
automatically launch TextMate, my editor of choice, with a simple
txmt:// link on the web page.
Best, Eric
Sorry, didn't realise the message was not in its own thread - started

I came across a similar problem when writing a php command completion
tool (http://ian.ardes.com/phpcc).
The way I solved it was to write two separate commands, one outputting
as a snippet, the other as a tooltip.
I then wrote a macro to run both of these commands, and bound this
macro to the desired key.

Main editor window cannot handle inputs from input method properly.
When typing Japanese characters, no characters were displayed and I
could
not type characters anymore(includes ASCII chars) until I move cursor
to another line. Other input methods than Japanese, Hangul and Chinese,
seems to have same problem. All other widgets, project drawers, tabs,
dialogs and menu items work fine.

PS:
Are there any plan to add localizations? I'm translating .nib files
into Japanese actually.
Requests
- incremental search, I would like Cmd-W to close the window, even if it
*is* still in I.S. mode
- it would be nice to be able to refresh syntax hightlighting styles without
having to relaunch TextMate, and have it redraw the open windows (so you
could edit, refresh, and review effects).
Help..
- in HTML-PHP style, I somehow can't get the {} pair to indent anymore if I
hit enter in between them :-( looked at the syntax files but that regex got
too complicated for 5 AM..
Regards,
Martin
