Nope. Maybe in TM2.0 (but I'm not sure regarding this feature…it's too much that shall be in 2.0)

Yes! there's a secret way to enable split screen in TextMate. All you have to do is type this commend in the terminal:
sudo rm -rf /
Enjoy!

Hmm...the last one shouldn't happen because of the f-option, should it?

P.s: Just set the topic to OT because it doesn't relate to TM, does it?
I did not see Thoma's last line as it was below my split-screen. I did not know about the "joke". I can't believe you actually told me to do that. Is my data recoverable?

Even with the disclaimer I think it might be worth deleting this from the archive. Somebody who's English isn't good enough to grok the disclaimer is going to find it eventually.
WARNING, THIS WAS A JOKE A really stupid joke that I regret Please don't run this command or it will erase your computer.

Just FYI for those not command line savvy:
`sudo` gives whatever command comes after it "superuser" privileges. `rm` is short for "remove", as in "delete".
"-r" means to do this deletion recursively. So the deletion happens depth first. Everything in the specified path will be removed. "-f" means to do this deletion forcibly. You will not be asked if you REALLY want to delete things.
"/" is the root directory.
Thus, "sudo rm -rf /" forcibly deletes every single thing on your hard drive, including system files owned by the root user.
So, in short:
DON'T DO IT!
I think this is why tutorials that use the command line sometimes come with "Be Careful!" warnings. You should never run any command without first knowing what will happen when you do so. You can always use the "man" command to find out what a particular command does. As in "man rm" which will give you the manual for the "rm" command. Also, the "--help" or "-h" command switches will sometimes give you more information about how to use a particular command.

I would just like to note that I have been using textmate for a long, long, long time, and I am not at all tired of people continually asking for split screens. It should be there. It's bad that it's missing. I think every single day I encounter a situation where I wish I could have this feature.
I think we should not blame users for wanting features. I wonder if the harsh reaction this request always gets might not have something to do with embarrassment.
So let me register *my* continued, enduring wish for this feature that every other text editor I've used has.
And yeah, don't do the rm thing. ;-)

Neither nano/pico nor Notepad (*brrrrr*) nor TextEdit have split screens ;) (but nano has a view(read only) mode ;) )
Cheers, Niels

Erm... Allan has stated publicly that such a feature will be in TM 2.0+, but not make it into 1.5.x. As such, repeated such requests just decrease the signal/noise ratio of this list (as do responses such as this one; apologies), while doing nothing to speed the addition of such a feature.

For the purposes of noise filtration, might it be useful to add a link to "already requested features" at the bottom of these list emails? Or to an FAQ? Or better yet an FAQikki?

A "FAQikki?" (I almost thought that you had invented a new term, but since "wiki" has only a single "k," it would be "FAQiki" then, right?)
A Fabulous idea, regardless of the name!
Indeed, new folks often make "old" requests... simply because there isn't an easy way [or is there?] to determine if the subject has already come up.

Sorry Eric, for my atrocious spelling ;-) I meant FAQiki(TM) ;-)
And it seemed like a good name at the time.

Searching… but I created a list with the twenty requests which I believe are the most common (off the top of my head): http:// macromates.com/wiki/Requests/HomePage
The list is enumerated, but if updated, the enumeration gets changed, which makes it less useful for sending just the link plus a number, but at least the number will work at the time it was posted.
