[TextMate] Love for Textmate, and some thoughts/observations

[Raena Armitage]

Hey,

Thanks for a really neat product.  I'm still messing about with it, but 
I think it's a keeper.

I've noticed some things, though --

Odd help behaviour: the tooltip that appears when you hover over the 
Commands textarea says that you can use the purple help icon to get a 
full list of TextMate's exported variables, but that just goes to the 
Commands reference page instead.  There's a small link to the list of 
variables, sure, but maybe the list of variables belongs on that page 
too? (or it should link there as advertised, instead?)

Also, why does selecting Help *from the Help menu,* while the commands 
window is open, mean that it goes to that page?  I understand that 
context is cool, but I expect to find that choosing '(AppName) Help' 
from the Help menu would take me to the app's help index page.

Second: the whole dealie about the preferences window has been 
discussed, it seems, but it's also something I miss. While there's 
nothing that really *has* to be in a preference window, it seems 
logical to me that per-document options ought to be kept well away from 
the permanent ones.

Third, I'm not sure if it's my own font problems or not, but I've never 
noticed it any other place -- when I'm using any bitmap font the first 
character in a line has a larger gap between it and the next character. 
  You can see this in action here:

Fourth, why is Page Up and Down moving the insertion point?  Can one 
change that at all?

And finally, I'm not really concerned with (s)ftp support myself since 
I prefer to use Transmit, but does anyone know how i can tell Transmit 
to make TextMate available in its list of external editors? Can that be 
done at all?
