Hi,
I'm playing with the theme editor and sometimes I'm not sure what the scope for a certain item is. I'd like to know if there's an easy way to get the full scope selector for the text under the cursor.
Also, knowing the scope, I wonder how to get the rules that apply to it.
Lastly, is there an straightforward way to revert a color after changing it? Or at least to leave the editor without saving?
Overall, I'm really liking this theme editor and the scoping thing as a whole is really promissing.

Ctrl-shift-P. It's actually just a command (in the language definition bundle) which does: echo $TM_SCOPE and shows that as a tool tip.
Also, knowing the scope, I wonder how to get the rules that apply to it.
You can always use the exact scope as the “rule”. Scopes work a bit like CSS selectors.
I describe this in: http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2005/07/06/ introduction-to-scopes/
Since then I have added the ability to and, or, and subtract scope selectors, briefly mentioned in latest blog entry (with example) and full details in b17 release notes.

Currently not -- though to reset a theme to defaults, you can delete the changed theme, which is saved to ~/Library/Application Support/ TextMate/Themes.
I do plan to add undo and/or a confirmation requester (before save) though.

Oh, i didn't mean that. I meant finding the definition in the theme editor that applies to a certain rule/scope.
Ah, well, that's more complicated, because the styles that apply for a given scope can come from multiple rules.
But I see how this could be useful.

Maybe you could highlight, in the theme editor, the rules that apply to the text at the cursor position.
