Hi All,
I use TM for lots of HTML and I use the built-in tidy command all the time. The behavior of the command changed recently and it is now doing something that I was about to request as a feature! The old behavior was that after the tidy command the current line was now the very bottom of the file. The new behavior is that the current line stays where I was editing. This is great! It was a serious pain to have to find the line I was just on to keep working.
I just want to make sure that this was done on purpose and will stay this way. Thanks!
BTW, I will soon be attending the Pragmatic Studio workshop on Ruby on Rails so I hope to be soon using TM for Ruby. Slowly, but very surely, I am switching over to TM. The big evil Java might be the last to succumb, though. Are there others on this list who would like to jettison Eclipse, too? What can we do to improve Java editing in TM? What would be your minimum list of features?
-Eric

Eric,
I am with you, I would love to toss netbeans/eclipse in favor of working in TM. The number one thing I miss when trying to do java coding in TM is code autocompletion, and code hinting. I guess codesense is the more common term. I think this would probably require some kind of plugin.
Second on my list would be some of the common refactoring things like wrap in try/catch, smart rename/delete etc.
I'd be willing to help with some of the work.

Probably. I haven't played with any of the existing tools for code browsing or completion or anything. I think the code browser with ctags support might be a good start... I wouldn't even know where to start with this kind of thing, really...

That should be a pretty simple macro... Organization of imports would be great, too, but probably requires some kind of "codesense" help.
smart rename/delete etc.
That would certainly be handy. I think TM currently caches filenames a little too aggressively for this kind of thing to work well without switching away and back, however. For renaming files, anyway.
I'd be willing to help with some of the work.
Woo hoo! :-)
