- Allow undo from find/replace dialog. Lots of times I enter in the
wrong regular expression and the find/replace goes badly. I want to hit apple-Z and Undo it and fire up another search, but instead I have to switch to the text window.
hmm... so undo should fall through to the main window? currently I could do that, but if I introduce a multi-line mode for the find/replace strings it would probably be natural for these to also have undo/redo, which would then clash!?!
That's true too; it would be great to someday have undo in the textbox. And maybe even commands! :)
Maybe instead of my suggestion there could be a little button on the Find/Replace box that says Undo Last Replace?
2. PDF
Webkit already gives you PDF viewing for free, if you have Schubert's PDF Plugin (doesn't everyone?) For instance, you can enter in the url of a PDF file in TM's web preview and view PDFs right now. I just need a way to tell TM to show a PDF in the web preview.

Ah, sorry about that -- there's a bug in Interface Builder which basically disables the undo option each time I touch the text view :/

Yes, that's not a bad idea. I'll probably soon merge the Find and Find in Project and for the latter an 'undo' might also be useful.
I'm thinking that the 'matches' list view is simply foldable (together with some arbitrary source options) and the default state of this (folded or not folded) depends on whether one uses cmd-F or shift-cmd-F to open the window. Personally I like to have them as separate windows mainly because it means the normal find window is much simpler -- but combined them could allow for e.g. showing all matches in a regular find. And this may also allow for some re-arrangement of buttons. Currently I don't think there really is room for an 'undo last replace' button in the find window (but feel free to send a mockup ;) ).

Ah, I didn't consider that -- in that case you can set the command output to HTML (when I add this option) and have the HTML do a meta-refresh to point to the PDF file instead.

Just inspected the nibs (which seems to be fine), so I assume you actually meant undo'ing of e.g. deleting entire commands?!?
If so, yes, that would be nice (it's on the to-do)! :)
