Hi,

I'm new on the list, so sorry for stating the obvious. The documentation of TextMate is terrible.

<rant> After using TextMate for some time, and struggling with many features, a collegue pointed that there is some documentation at http://macromates.com/doc/ However, there is no link to this URL. Please make a link to this page from the home page. Now, please.

Thanks. What? You haven't done so? Stop reading then! Please do it *NOW*, before other people waste their precious time. I had to find the function of multiple functions (e.g. how DragCommands work, that they only work with file, not URL's, how tab triggers work, etc. etc.) by Googling and reading earlier posts on the mailing list. I really could have saved a lot of time if I knew earlier that there was some documentation out there. In fact I strongly recommend to add a menu item in the Help menu which directly links to this documentation, and release a minor update :-) </rant>

I just started reading the docs, and here is some first comments: Please change the order of the paragraphs "Selecting Text" and "Editing modes" on the "Working with Text" page. "Editing Modes" discusses the column mode, which was introduced in "selecting text", so the later paragraph must come first. In the current order, the "Editing Modes" was hard to comprehend.

Regards, Freek Dijkstra

PS: This is a re-sent; my original posting seems to be rejected because the list software was a bit slow, and thought I wasn't on the list yet. Sorry if you get this twice.
