Hello All,
Apologies in advance if this is inappropriate to post here, but since there is a 2.0 Textmate on the way that is changing how fonts work...
Here is a proposal about "elastic tabs" that seems interesting:
http://nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/
"Elastic tabstops - a better way to indent and align code"
there's also a discussion going on here:
http://reddit.com/comments/ro3b0
The idea is more about lining up text in columns as opposed to just indenting text. Which is a feature I don't use much for programming. But for editing lists of things in columns, this looks pretty sweet.
Regards, --ErikN
I'm not a programmer, so may not know much about this, but the examples on the link had no lines that wrapped. Seems to me that wrapping has to be part of any indenting schemes. Particularly how comments at the end of a line wrap. I think they has been some discussion of that with TM2.

It's an interesting idea, and I'd like to try it. The main problem I see is that I have to work with other people, and /they/ would lynch me if I checked in code like this! We have a completely heterogeneous environment. We all use different editors and different OSs. I think this unfortunately falls into the category of nifty ideas which won't get widely adopted because it's not a feature of most editors because it's not widely adopted...
