I have been waiting for a good and affordable text editor to come along for OS X. I come from the Windows world and used UltraEdit there. The one thing I really like about TextMate is the Tabbed interface much like other MDI like editors such UltraEdit and IntelliJ IDEA, especially the re-ording of tabs. I just wish that TextMate offered this tabbing without having to create a project or even a scratch project. It would be really neat if TextMate just opening up in scratch project mode. Is possible in the current version?
Other than that and some more syntax highlighting, it's a great piece of work! You are to be commended! First editor I have used on OS X that felt "right".

No, but will be in the next one (or one of the next ones), I think. Main reason it wasn't included in the initial was time.
I just downloaded the app and it's looks great...I'm noticing the preview window isn't 'sticky' - it goes away as soon as I tab to another document, and it can only preview the currently active document. This is a real problem for CSS as it previews the stylesheet itself (so I get a long line of CSS)...is there some way to keep one document open in the preview window while I work on a stylesheet so I can see the results of the stylesheet changes?
