Latest textmate changed the CMD+T dialog to a 'view based' list
I'd really love a slightly more compact view personally (smaller icon size) but I'm gradually getting accustomed to it
One thing I've noticed is the list selection resets sometimes while the list is filling..
1) Type a substring which matches lots of entries 2) TM auto selects the first entry as expected 3) Now arrow down to the next item in the list
Now, if the search is still chugging away, as soon as it finds a new entry, the new match is appended to the list, but this also resets the selection to the top item
The net result is that quite often I am typing a filename, arrow down, and in between that and hitting enter, its very quickly reselecting the first item, and Im opening the file I didn't intend to.
I'm hoping this is something you can reproduce and fix please?
Thanks

There isn’t much between one and two lines. One line is 16 pixels, so two will be around 32 pixels and the icon is presently 32 × 32, which is a good choice since it’s one of the sizes that icons are normally drawn at (i.e. no bitmap scaling, although presently some of TextMate’s own icons need to be redone in the larger resolution).
So if anything, we should go back to a single line: Reading the items with a single line does seem easier.
The advatage of the two lines though is that we can always rank against full path, and for anyone with many identically named files, disambiguating them is easier. Also the extra space, take e.g. the recent changes in ⌃⌘T which had been pending a “larger canvas”.
I’ll probably introduce a toggle between one and two lines, but I want the two line mode to be stable before introducing multiple display modes.

This will be fixed in next build.

Yeah, i agree. It wasn't really a complaint as such though, for me personally I usually type enough so the item I want is first or second, so Im not having to scroll down the list much anyway
One big improvement of the new dialog whether its single line or double, is that it shows the paths immediately (maybe this is related to the ranking you mention). Previously it filled the list items first, and then went back to fill the paths in which caused a delay if you're working over a share

Excellent, thanks!

Just wondering if theres any progress on the 'jumping selection' issue please?
You mentioned it would be fixed in the next update, but its kinda driving me crazy on a daily basis now
If it has been fixed and is awaiting release, Id be really grateful if you could bundle a release out (or does TM have a beta stream?)
Thanks

It should have been addressed in v2.0-beta.6.2: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/2721d4eaa5ef4f4163a91ee167316dbe...
Thankyou Allan, seems to be working great!
