Is there any way to get preferences for search dialogs to last across an OS restart? For instance, the regexp checkbox. I almost always want that to be checked. I have noticed that it sticks when restarting TM during the same OS session, but not across reboots.
It sticks only if the find string hasn't been changed. Since OS X has a global find clipboard, the find string can be changed from outside TextMate (or using cmd-E in TM), in these cases, the regex switch really should be disabled (since it's very unlikely that the content placed on the clipboard is a regular expression).
Anyone know how to disable the cross-application find pasteboard completely, either for particular apps or for the entire OS? I just don't want it. I search for something on Google using Safari, which conveniently puts my search term on Safari's find pasteboard, which conveniently puts it on the OS find pasteboard, which conveniently blasts away whatever I had in the find box in my editor. I've already learned how to fix so many general OS X peculiarisms by reading this list, I figured someone here might know how to do this.
