Fellow TextMates,
Allan has added a nice little menu in 1.0.1 for the times when two or more things 'clash' on the same keyboard shortcut (like commands)... this then allowed us to 'stack' multiple similar commands (like search engines) onto the one key command, like the 'help' key. which is very cool.
So, I've added support for Dictionary.com, Google, Thesaurus.com, Wikipedia, Yahoo in the default bundle, and PHP.net in the PHP bundle. See screen grab attached. Basically, it pumps the current word into your chosen search engine, and it works great!!
I'm looking for nominations for additional searches to be added to the Default, PHP, HTML or CSS bundles... right now it doesn't appear we can add W3.org sites, because there's no nice flat URL structure to work off, and no focused search engine.
Feel free to also say "we don't need Yahoo", etc etc.
I'm thinking perhaps an amazon.com search would be a possibility, but really I'm looking for any search-based technical references that could be of help to the masses of TM users by feeding it the current word.
It's totally easy to add your own in 1.0.1 by the way :)

Oooops, should have highlighted that it will be in the FINAL 1.0.1, not the current 1.0.1b1 that's floating around :)
In other words, don't go looking for this feature in 1.0.1b1

I had that menu come up in 1.0.1b1 (when I had two commands with the same keyboard shortcut).. But perhaps that wasnt the one you meant?

I was also a bit confused over Justin's post. Probably he meant that 1.0.1b1 doesn't have his lookup stuff in the default bundle, cause it has the menu! :)
Kind regards Allan
