I can easily add (i.e. next build) that TM e.g. loads extensions from AppSupport/TextMate/Plugins — it seems for your “plugin” it wouldn't need to expose any API, thus it's a safe way to slowly extend TM to support plugins
That'd be great, that would at least avoid the InputManagers hack.
And “double click to install”, which seems could have benefited a few users :)
Oh, forgot about that option! Yep, that'll make life a lot easier. So will the 'plugins' have a specific extension like 'tmplugin'?
[...] I am really itching to change a few small details of the internal workings of TM (word characters on a per language base, handling of double-click extend), but the code in question seems to be mostly C++ which is a lot less hackable than ObjC...
Yes, the model is mainly C++, and your requests are on the to-do, but at least the word characters is not a minor detail, since word characters are implemented through character traits, so the traits are static member functions which have no context what-so-ever (and the traits are used a lot of places).
The word characters I can live with, but the double-click extend is driving me bonkers about 100 times a day...
